my old r33 gtst ran low 13's consistantly with ;

Standard ecu + SAFC2

205 tyres on stock rims

turbo back exhaust (dump/front pipe custom made at Mettams mufflers in Morley, I thermal wrapped it)

standard air box (K&N element)

standard intercooler

10psi ( bleeder valve)

Pineapples (rear cradle bushes)

Light weight flywheel and upgraded clutch

With just these items I can get any decent nik R33 gtst into low 13's or with bigger tyres on the back straight into high 12's. Low 13's without spectacular 60ft times.

Notice the lack of Front mount intercooler.... Not needed to do this, get a good one when you upgrade the turbo and other kit.

That cars dyno after at the time of the low 13 was 175rwkw. It looked stock and was quiet and comfortable.

The JJR integrated split dump pipes are rubbish. They require machining to align the flange plate properly, the flange plates are sometimes not flat (warped).

Just get something from an exhasut place made. Without the split design. And then thermal wrap it.

My thoughts are that you need to sheild that pod filter. The pod filter if it has no cold air feed and heat shield, sucks in very hot engine bay air.

Or just get a factory airbox and cold air feed from someone throwing thiers away. Perhaps you can even offer to swap. Keeps the cops out of your face too when you pop the bonnet.

Mettams mufflers in Morely is where I have always gone for my cars. Pat there is a master and his quality work is very cheap indeed.

Mild steel dump pipe to the cat in 3 inch. Shouldn't be too much.

Go grab yourself some pineapples for the rear sub frame. they are only a tad over $100 and you can fit them in your driveway with 15min, a bit of effort and a crowbar. Easier if you have a mate to help out.

The clutch is something to save for if you only have a standard one in there as drag racing and the modest power increase will see it on it's way quickly.

When my car was dyno'd at 190rwhp I ran 13.8. It's pretty easy to do so.

The thing about dyno's is that they are really only a tuning tool. Making car comparisons is not what they are good for. :D

    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol
    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
