R33 Gtst Slow, Whats Wrong

[##r32skyline##]

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!

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}

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. my tires on the back have like 10% tread, wouldd this affect the time by heaps?

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...

OP: the answer is simple, your driving sucks, go buy a VW Beetle.

How are your launches?

[GTR-32U]

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

LOL yeah,,theres a bit of double posting goin on

Anyway.. as i replied on another thread asking the exact same question..

how are your launches? and i definately agree with WYTSKY, keep it off the streets buddy, go crazy on a drag strip, i hope ur not a p plater..cops wud never let ur car see the light of day again if u got busted

hi, hate to say this but when my 33 was lagging it was piston fried... good luck, check it out now in case you do damage!

It's bad enough when they do it in separate areas, but in the same area ????

Back to the question - the problem is the loose nut holding the wheel.

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.
