First up, "Never heard of a "STOCK" GTS 300 doing low to mid 13's. more like low 14's or VERY high 13,s" Well, i just looked at the latest copy of Motor, and the 250KW, 1645kg average mum and dad version Holden SS Commodore does 13.99 and 5.82 a bloodly little STI does 13.62 and 5.43 for crying out loud!! (190kw, 1450 odd kg's..i know 4wd, but still!!) Anyway, u get the idea. More importantly, I strapped a G-tech into the 'line and had a bit of a go on the weekend. 4 or 5 runs and the clutch was starting to smell :-( Best times were 5.27 and 13.79 @108 mph (high terminal speed for the ET i think....indicates the trouble i had getting of line...) Still had spare tyre and sub in boot etc etc, Iwould like to try again at a strip where maybe i could find some more grip, and get a little more serious.....take some air out of tryres, empty out boot etc (Aside from the fact that bolting up to 180 on public roads is not the answer :-)) I am running 225/50/R16's...(i know, i need some wheels as well :-)) Traction was a real problem, not only off line, but high in first, and into second on the gear change..bogs down a little at start of second, cause revs lower than could be , cause wheelspin from 6k on in first. So does this all bear well with the dyno sheet that i will now attach/post for all the doubters :-) Does this sort of time match up with 190 odd rwkw's, all things considered? Piggy Back on my ecu? Totally possible. How would i find that/where would i look?? I pulled the kick pannel off and eyeballed the ecu...had Nissan written all over it, but i couldn't say with any authority wether or not there were any piggy backs. This little piece of info could help...it still has the speed limiter in place...won't go past an indicated (on speedo) 190-195 (guessing cause as we all know, the numbers stop before then) Also, ran into speed limiter on dyno, high in 4th. What dose that imply/infer about possible piggy backs? Is there any way to tell what is up with the ecu, and wether it has been fiddled with as suggested? I appreciate the pool of knowledge and experince here..it's awesome! Regards,

Hi all. I have had an 33 S2 1998 (very last of the 33's) for 2 yrs now. Thought i would add my experience here. I am running stock everything (as best i know) bar a pod filter (just sitting in engine bay.....i know, i need to box it up :-)) and a 3 inch turbo back exhaust, plus really high end lubricants everywhere. ECU is definitely stock....i checked after the dyno run! No indication that anything else isn't stock Timing was set at 16degrees (1 degree advance over standard) Fuel was BP Ultimate, and 1/2 a bottle of Nulon octane booster Boost from dyno sheet peaks at just on 10PSI (over 4.5K, sits at 7.5 PSI below that) On Willal's racing (very new, with latest software) dyno dynamics dyno in shootout mode, made over 192 rwkw. (Willal put together that crazy silver 32 that's running 8's) On the basis of that, i know that with a little more ignition timing, or with a cold air induction set up, or BP 100 fuel or something, i could scape over the line to 200 rwkw pretty easily My ? is, given the limited number of mod's, does this all seem reasonable? Or is Willal's dyno really generous? Or am i just lucky, with a new late model 33 in great shape?? Thought's anyone? PS, on the street, it is as quick as my friends stock 2002 HSV GTS 300....on paper they do 5.3 sec 100's and low to mid 13's... In fact whenever we race, it usually comes down to the driver and the launch...at least up to 120 kmph or so...i am usually winning at this pt, then he starts to catch up, and i think he would ultimately nail me every time if we raced to silly speeds which we never have....i certainly have the advantage at low speeds/of the line tho. Thought i would throw that in for some perspective...
