YOUR DOING IT DOWN A BACKSTREET... thats whats wrong... and ur mates little stopwatch isn't cutting it according to ur liking... Go to a drag strip ya tight arse... *EDIT* I appologise, ur a new member obviously. For your info, Skylines Australia does not condone any type of illegal activity on the roads... drag strip/skid pan/drift/track day is a different story... Im sure this thread will be locked as it involves you asking questions about illegal behavior... perhaps editing the first post might be an idea.. As for your issue... what tyres are you running? that would be the first problem... traction getting the power from your engine to the ground... they make a big difference. you've said you have a heavy duty clutch so that shouldnt be the issue then.... honestly though, take it to a strip with some decent rubber, learn how to launch properly and im sure u'll be happier then doing dangerous stuff on the road... even if its a side street.

(B1) MR_fanny Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 so who are these "other" people? the weakest link is usually you the driver. how are you timing it anyways? now ask yourself this question, what is getting your car from 0-100 in 6.2secs on public roads really gonna prove anyways? honestly? pay the $$ and get it properly timed on the strip if still want to prove something.

eeiko321 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 i think 7sec for a GTS-T is pretty slow. N/A supras can acheive better times than that. Alot of things can come into play worn tires is a possibility... but id be looking at other things have you had it dynoed? id give that a go and see what outputs you get...

GTR-32U Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well if the car feels slower maybe something isnt right or you are getting used to it, Best to satisfy your curiosity and get it onto a Dyno and see what sort of health your car is in. But the time recorded as illegal as it was does seem very slow considering the car isnt 100% standard Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/276249-r33-gtst-slow-whats-wrong/#findComment-4677540 Share on other sites More sharing options...

95 GTS25T Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 yeah definately check it out on a dyno mine was running slow when I got it, I didn't know about it cause I went straight from an old laser 4cyl to skyline turbo six without having driven any other higher powered car so I thought it was fast and only found out when I got it serviced the guys at the shop said that it was very slow compared to other skylines they'd serviced and tested , they thought It might have been leaking boost or something, but once they tuned it up and such I couldn't believe the difference.

Priestley Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Technically what he's doing may not be illegal if its in a 100kmh zone. But yeah, take it to a track or drag strip if you want to drive like a maniac. Also if it doesn't seem as fast as it was you should have it serviced and tuned, maybe a compression test (??) and above all take a driving course to improve your driving...

So what your saying is that i could launch my car off a 2-step at every set of traffic lights and not expect to be fined if I only get to 60 before backing off?? Even if he is not speeding it is still classed as reckless driving Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/276249-r33-gtst-slow-whats-wrong/#findComment-4689414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a cop could find something to fine you with if you did drive like that and you'd deserve whatever was dished out. All I said was it might not "technically" be illegal.
