What is needed for 11 sec 1/4

[blx]

Hey guys...

I am an avid reader of the performance section of these forums but i find that most people serching for more RWKW's rather seconds...

My question is what would be needed to be done to a stock R33 GTS-t to produce 11's, with street tyres, and no MAJOR weight reduction.

I am looking to purchase a 33 very soon and wanting to work it acheive 12 sec 1/4's but just got curious as to what extra would be needed. I also intend on this to be a daily driver with bite.

(BTW I am aware that there are multiple ways for this to be acheived, just looking for the different methods and ideas)

Cheers

Money.

Sorry, couldn't resist it.....

We have a full weight R34 GTT that does 11.7with 310 rwkw on Nitto radials. So do a search for how to get 300 rwkw out of an RB25DET. There would be at least 50 that I have posted to. Take your pick of methods and then stick a pair of Nittos on the back and, as long as you can drive, and the track is is good condition, an 11 is achievable.

Hope that helps

money does help - not the only factor

Just buy RNS11Z car for 27K

Thanks again to skylinekid...

Skylinegeoff - if i bought his car then the fun and information that i would learn on the way just wouldn't be there. (it would be a S*#T load cheaper though...lol

Try and do it with the stock turbo .

I'd be looking at BFG drag radials tyres wise and a good working over of the suspension. With BFG's you should get the 60ft down to high 1.5's / low 1.6's (like to see that out of sh*tto's). A modifed transbraked Turbo 350 auto with a 5000rpm high stall and a lower diff ratio might help too.

[BHDave]

Suspension, nittos/slicks and learn how to launch properly. Then you can do it with less power

Though drag suspension will suck for daily driving

The key is a big bag of money

[RB20LagWagon]

Or a big brain of knowledge

..or a right foot made of lead

Hi rev, Wilson did a 1.45 on Nittos, Munroe did a 1.48 and Lee did a 1.6. I've got plenty more examples if you like. None of those were in Perth though, in fact I can't find any decent radial tyre times from Perth. Must be the track.

[RNS11Z]

Well, lets just say 20k+ on top of the standard car.

But as sydney kid first mentioned. Its all a wallet factor.

Just make sure you try and buy one with the basics already covered, otherwise it'll add up to "may as well just get a GTR" territory.

If you can find one with FMIC, full exhaust, boost controller, suspension, aftermarket ECU, and hopefully a few other extras for around $20k, that might save you $10k just there. That might make a budget of getting there below 35k possible.

Then your concerns will be building the internal strength of the motor, turbo and the required support systems for that. Otherwise, yeah, just find one already done .. it may be boring but it will save you a **** load of money.. over the last year or so I've seen quite a few GTS-T that will do mid-12's for $25-30k

I reckon if you had about $40,000 to blow you may as well get a lightly modified GT-R rather than a worked off its tits GTSt.

Depends on your preferences

[blx]

Yeah i spose i never thought of that.

I am a huge fan of the GTS-t as a quick but non-expensive car and also has the looks. The main reason i was after a GTS-t was the rear wheel drive aspect. How hard is it to turn a GTR into rear wheel drive?

[HKSgtst]

all you need is money, and almost anything is possible

Can you pull a fuse? If so, it's easy.

[T0nyGTSt]

Only the 32 allows you to just pull a fuse.

The 33 requires a torque splitter like a HKS ETC.

I honestly think that perhaps something like an R33 GTSt w/ RB26DETT conversion might be a goer as well.

Why would you buy a GTR and then make it only RWD ? Might as well just buy a GTS-t and save urself $20k
