hey guys} i have just went to see how fast my car is down a back street.

i have a r33 gtst s1. it is near stock except for turbo-back exhaust, bigger pod, heavy duty clutch and boost on 10psi. when i got the car about 3 months ago it seem heaps fast, now after a little hard driving it seems heaps slower.

the best 0-100km time i could get was about 7.27. accourding to other people they say they can get 6.2 etc.

does anyone know what is wrong or is this normal time. what can i do to fix it? help! :D

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.

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.

hey guys}

the best 0-100km time i could get was about 7.27. accourding to other people they say they can get 6.2 etc.

does anyone know what is wrong or is this normal time. what can i do to fix it? help! :)

would changing the spark plugs and getting a service help?

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...

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

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.

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

Is there a specific law regarding take off speed? 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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
