R33 Gts-t Too Slow.

[Sepp]

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
