Hi guys, My 1994 R33 GTS-T is slower than what is should do. 0-100 i get about 8.5secs. This i have been told is extemely sluggish for a RB25 Turbo. Is there any reason for this. i should add that the car is immaculate with 72k on the clock and has been meticulously maintained. It is also however an auto. But upon purchasing the vehicle i thought it would be slightly quicker.

any ideas on why this is, or is it just because its an auto. or is there something wrong?

Thanks heaps guys

autos are poo, they suck the power outta motors. If your r33 is stock, ie stock boost, exhaust etc, i wouldnt expect it to be any quicker that what you stated. Stick a exhaust on it and pump and bit more boost into it and you will be happy, but honestly with the stock auto it will be more of a cruiser that a drag machine

man i got an auto and stock it was going lots better than that prob's bout 7 or so.. auto's don't really suck power cause i converted mine and have since switched it back to auto found better driving

you had an auto, swap it to manual then swapped it back to auto?? the only way i can see you have a better driving car with the auto is if you left the stock auto diff in there when you did the conversion, that would give you tall as diff ratios making the car feel less responsive and sluggish, but anyway back to this guy.

How did you time the 8.5s? stop watch? did you do it or a mate? if it was just a stop watch recording dont be surprised if you have over a second difference because of reaction times to hit start/stop. How did you launch? Did to stall it up a bit? Did you manually hold 1st, and second gear to let it rev out? little things like this can make all the difference. But like i said before, a stock 33 isnt a super quick car, do a few BPU and they become more fun.

Hey thanks for the input guys. in the 0-100 test i didn't stall it up at all, and yes my mate did use a stopwatch lol.

Also sometimes my car feels alot faster than other times, the autoseems to shift better or something. also do turbo's drive better in the cold?

hahaha good old stop watch. Have a couple more go's and try to stall it up abit and that number will drop slightly. Any car will be quicker at night time cause of the colder air, but for a turbo car it makes a much more noticable difference, especially if you get a FMIC

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
