as stated in topic.

how many rwk's would a r33 gtst need to make in order to be on par, or slightly better than a holden vy ss with 300 rwk?

i ask this because the 1/4 mile calcs dont quite add up.

would like some real answers

(both cars with equal suspension mods and tyres. no variables )

cheers guys :thumbsup:

300rwkw VY ? or 300kw HSV factory version?

If its the factory 300kw motor version then you need about 175rwkw (in the real world*) to keep up maybe beat it by a nose, both cars driven reasonably well.

300rwkw VY is probably around 230rwkw-ish. Depends on a few other things as well like gearing.

* by real world I mean that the car is making this power on the road as well as the dyno, bonnet 'down' dyno numbers.

i dont think a 175rwkw would be a 300kw vy ss

standard quarter times for my bosses senator was 13.7 last time i looked it up which is the 298kw version

skyline with 175 which is basically an exhaust and about 10psi i think would lose

not by much tho

this is a good thread to keep on the go.

I have a R33 gts rb25det conversion with low diff ratio, FMIC, pod 3" exaust BOV etc n i was wondering if i'd beat my miss's brother's VZ SSV V8 ute which just has basic exaust mods...? wat we think?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
