13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).


Recommended Posts

Back on the PCV valve catch can subject, the PCV valve is only open at vacuum and shut at any boost pressure, so why block it off altogether as I thought the catch can is mainly necessary while under higher boost and not general cruising.

Why have ANY crankcase vapor entering the manifold I say?

I agree.

Your oil collects condensation overnight, which is the first thing to evaporate when you are warming up your engine. I don't like to come on boost when my engine is cold so all the crap would be going thro my engine(with the PVC valve operating). I have already experienced the following effects by blocking off the PVC valve- Cleaner oil, cleaner plugs , sh*t tins better fuel economy, no condensation coming out of my exhuast, cleaner intake system. from what I can see it does nothing at all to improve your engine just pollution control. I found a small screw fits nicely into the PVC valve and still looks standard.

Anyone got a pic to describe this mod? Ie where you have put the screw? roughly?

Boostd: do you need to have a catch tank or can you just do the screw mod with similar results? PM me if you dont wanna post this info :)

Thanks :P

Make sure you get one with two nipples, a level meter and a drain plug. Also the nipples should direct the air/vapour almost directly onto a metal plate, have a look inside one and you will see what I mean. I have seen some cheap cans that don't have this and fail to separate the oil and air properly which causes the filter to get blocked very quickly.

the highflow will help and so will the low ratio diff. Maybe 13 flat like you said if you can leave the line quick enough.

So you think if my Apexi speed meter is reading flat 13's then it should be correct for the type of mods ?

with the stock turbo the best time i got with the auto was a 13.59 then i installed the T3 / T4 combo and it went down to flat 14's.

Then i installed the manual 5 speed and it went down to 13.02 13.02 13.10 13.28

The dif ratio helps heaps because i get to wind it out in 4th heaps before the end of the quarter

No not necassarily. I know of people with 12 second readings who can only do low 14's. The accuracy varies, on the whole it is not comparable at all to the real 1/4mile.

For the modifications you have I see a 13 second flat or a low 12 comming all things being right on the night (they seldom are).

Go race and find out.

Rev's right. The one thing the Apexi speed meters don't take into consideration is wheel spin.

You can sit in one spot and bag the wheels up, and once they wheels have done 400m worth of rotations it'll give you a time :P

When i do my quarter runs & 0-100 runs i DONT wheel spin.

I find i get better launches taking off clutch spin on boost and floor it once i feel im gettin enuf traction

    • I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
    • Lolololol maybe, man I hate this car. Lapsed judgement a respray and a new motor, when I should have just scrapped the lot when I had the chance. Farken.
    • So you reckon a few sweety something's whispered in her window and she'll behave for me? 😛
    • One of the first things i do when i buy a car is to change the in cabin filter, because no one ever does. There seems to be conflicting statements on the internet, does anyone know if a 97 r33 actually has one?
    • Thankyou! I'll add a pic of my Z for good measure! 😛
