just bought a r33 gtr vspec series 2 and only has a catback exhaust.

What would be its potential down the 1/4 the way it is now

and what would the potential be with just 12psi boost, hiflow panel filter and a full exhaust

average driver: ?

good driver: ?

i couldnt find much info regarding this

out the box GTR Nissan quoted a 13.2 I think, so you would say around a low 13.

vspec slightly heavier but then you have an exhaust which should give you more torque and power (a little anyway) so that may counter the extra weight of the v-spec.

Obviously this would have been with a gun jap driver.

i think you could safely say with fliter and exhaust and no tune, you should hit a low to mid 13 without too much drama.

Any faster and you will need to look at a tune to get things working properly and then flat 13's, high 12's would be attainable.

Then add dollars to take off time, one you get to low 12's, high 11's, talk big dollars for each 10th of a second you want to shave

haha I thought I would be a little more genuine than sarcastic.... When I first read I thought exactly that, but then broke it down a little more and though take the average run of the mill etc.....

if he drives like my sister, erm about a week.... or worse still will dump the clutch forget she had it in reverse and take out the car staging behind..... DOH

Now with larger turbos and more power my goal is a high 11 second pass on 20inch rims. How much power is required to do this?

I ran a 12.9 sec pass with the 20in rims with the same mods in above post.

so a .3 difference.

What are your thoughts. Can this be done? And if anyone has done it would be good to know.

The bigger rims will give you a larger rolling diameter & more weight generally, thus slowing down the time gain from extra boost. For the drag strip, use the stock rims with a GOOD set of tyres & the time will be much better, & it will put less stress on the drivetrain as a whole. Stick the 20s back on for cruising bling.

he hit high 12's while everyone was saying 14 flat ??

you did pretty good mate. im running mine tomorrow. so hopefully i do a 13 :D

We say that so you aren't tempted to be a retard and actually go to the drag strip instead of walking around telling various people what your car "would run".

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
