from experience you need a bottomless wallet and the patience of a saint lol> low 11's 340awkw>25k+

high 10's 400awkw>35k+

The moral of the story is if your 13.0 sec stocko is boring you then sell it and buy something that has already had lots spent on it and on the way to the 11's you want :P

Agreed Iv seen NOS do the same-Iv also seen NOS blow the shit out of a fair few engines cause a lot of people dont know how to set it up and have a lean out.

Better to spend the dollars and have a proper 11 sec car that can run 11's all night without drama-and that will mean also to upgrade gearbox strenght especially in R32(cause of the age). My choice was the OS Gikon "cross mission" set-it will take the punishment-unlike the factory synchros

However, if you want to run it consistantly, I would go the Power FC/injectors/pump/exhaust/clutch etc.

You can't run consistent 11's using Nitrous Oxide?

...lend your car to a 10sec driver and see what they can do with your 13sec gtr :D

haha thats soooo true ive seen peoplemekin like 200rwkw running high 14s, some people either just cant drive or are scared of brakeing their car.

I used to run NOS and its great-but what i mean is when the NOS runs out so does the fun-Id rather a car that can run the 11 without it :D

id prefer to have a car like adrians that you can drive on the street without the gas still get good mileage, be a breeze for any one to step into and drive down to get the milk and bread, and then be able to go to the track turn te bottle on and run 11's all night, turn the bottle off and drive it home.

ive seen more 10 ans 11sec cars no running the bottle break more often then cars that run it. my engines a stocker with 189000k's on it and i run a 36 shot at the track and ive never had a problem. its all about the tuners ability to whether you have problems. like most car modifications 60% of people try to do it on the cheap and in the long run things break and it costs them more.

my bottle lasts me for around 40 full noise passes so i have filled it 3 times in a year at $50 a fill. thats cartainly a lot cheaper than cams, plenum, TB, etc

im all for the GAS

Simple answer to this thread,

There is no "easy" way to run consistant and reliable 11's, it takes time and money, regardless of what car/engine package you have.

Quit dreaming, make a plan and work through it until you reach your goal... 11's.

EDIT: Unless you have 140K+ to spend on some exotic :D

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
