Ive done a 14.9 1/4, so maybe my 0-100 is around 7. This was done without a spare tyre and front bar and with only a 4000rpm launch. Might do better with a higher rpm launch and better tyres. NA 34s are not built for speed but they are quick enough for me. I only ever managed a 14.4 in my r33 s2 Gts-t, mind u it was pretty stock.

well, having owned both NA cars and an R33 turbo, there's defnitely positives and negatives of NA and forced induction. personally, I'm no speed demon, and almost never drive my R33 in anger, and the NA R34's still look the trick, so I'd prolly go for one of those when the R33 gives up the ghost...

At the moment full exhaust 2.5, pod filter, extractors, safc II. Pretty much extent of things u can do to an N/A. Looking for the 3lt conversion soon, but dont know if ill go ahead with it(its expensive). A friend of mine already had it done and he is happy but cost him more than originally planned (mind u he is in NZ so prob more in Aust). SAFC has so far been the best mod, exhaust and pod were done b4 i got the car. The car ran this time without front bar, rear seat or passenger seat (taken out for a stereo install that i didnt proceed with so also no stereo or speakers at the time), no spare tyre, no jack or tools. So yeah, I honestly dont think that our cars are supposed to be fast but they can be made to be reasonably quick.

HPI did their best time of 7.3 for 0-100 but to be honest with u I dont remember my 0-100 time. So sorry maybe u are right, I just estimated it to be around 7, maybe someone can tell me what a 0-100 time for a 14.9 1/4 mile could be. You have a four door right, just wondering have u weighed your car ? Id like to know just to compare it to mine.

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
