Well here is the story...I have a bog stock R33 S2 GTS-T Manual *4Door Sedan*

Anyway my mate has a R33 S1 Coupe running 14psi, front mount, full exhaust with a split dump & was going to run his so i thought i would go watch...anyway i never planned on racing as i finished work late but he called me & said there was not much people so i took my helmet & rego just in case...when i got there was was not many cars lining up to register so i thought what the heck.

Correct me if i am wrong but specs for a R33 Coupe say 14.7 for a stocker down the qtr so i was thinking since mine is an odd 40kg heavier being a sedan plus i had a full tank of ultimate which i filled night before plus i have a sub in my boot etc that i would run a low 15 or at best a really late 14

First pass was a bit nervous & stuffed up & it bogged down a bit after initial axle tramp but to my suprise i got a 14.6 with a 2.2 60ft & 95mph...i was like what tha f-ck? thats awesome

14.6.PDF

Next pass i took my air filter panel out of box to see if it went better. Again off start i bogged down again but only just & it squatted nicely off the line but missed my change from 3rd to 4th & hit limiter for a second or two & was amazed to pull a 14.3 with a 2.0 60ft & 96mph

14.3.PDF

3rd pass gave a bit too much off the line & spun & only did a 14.5 with a 2.3 60ft at 96pmh

14.5.PDF

Last pass totally stuffed it...bogged on take off & then went from 2nd into 5th so did a 16.1 hehe with a 2.3 60ft

16.1.PDF

Anyway i was totally surprised & I reckon on a colder night with newer tyres less fuel & sub etc out i could pull very close to a 14.1

What do you guys think & what have other stockies run before?

oh & also without air filter panel felt alot more throttle response but also noticed it blew a bit of black smoke when i backed off ie running a bit rich...when i put panel back in still blew a tiny bit of smoke but barley as much?

why is that?

I think croat likes Drag Radials now. 7/10's off the PB in one meeting isn't bad at all.

Also, Noofa (Nathan) from Bezerkly Automotive had his first shot at racing last night in his R32 4-door. Straight into the 13's with a 13.9 @ 98mph is awesome for a first go. Huge congrats.

What do you guys find is the best launch technique?

I found that lower revs (2000-2500rpm) dumping it with a bit of axle tramp/hop & bog was better than higher revs (3000+rpm) slipping the clutch or just dumping with a little bit of wheelspin controlled by throttle

NSCC = Nissan Sports Car Club.

Let's just say that SAU and WSID aren't on the greatest of terms these days, so your best bet is to try and tag onto a private track hire day organised by another club - in addition to the club's mentioned by Ben, v8owners.com.au (i think) also organise them fairly regularly.

Private track days are excellent though - I got over 20 runs at the last SAU day and could have had plenty more.

im planing on going out in the next few weeks....I have a fairly stock r33 96 S2, just a pod and getting a split dump, 5"cat and 3" all the way. What kind of times should i be aiming for?

from my times in a dead stocker if you can get a 2.0-2.2 60ft you should crack a 13.9-14.1 i reckon with about 98-100mph with your mods...what do the rest of you think?

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
