Mild Mods 1/4 Mile

[fane]

Just thought i would let everyone know that last night i only got 4 runs because it was busy as.

But I just want everyone know what I got with what mods so that people can see what is possible, because when i first got my car i thought it wouldnt be.

Anyways I'll write down the mods that would have an impact on my time, compared to stock.

500hp Clutch

235/45/17s

Turbosmart Bleed Valve (10psi)

Pod Filter

Iridium IX Plugs (Gap 0.8)

Cat-Back Exhaust (with STOCK cat)

Front/Dump Pipe

With those mods plus some suspension and crap like that i ran a

13.892 @ 102.85mph

60' @ 2.273 (shit time, i can do a 2.11)

so there is a possiblity for a 13.7 if i can do another 2.11 60' time and pull it all together, but my "drag" tyres were running a bit on the bald side.

Just thought i would let everyone know that a 13 is very very possible with light mods.

If you haven't got a set of pineapples for the rear diff cradle i'd highly suggest them, only costs about $180 fitted and it will give you much better squat and traction.

cool...might be another thing on the list....thanks mate

Good stuff.

I ran 13.8's back in the old gtst days with very little done as well. At this time people on the WA forum were telling me I couldn't run a 13.

3 inch Exhaust (standard cat)

10psi bleeder.

Pineapples, they only cost $100 odd and are a 10min job to fit.

I did mine on a 38deg C day though, on 205's with about 100kgs of work stuff in the car

You couldn't have asked for a better night to race in terms of air quality. Very cold and reasonably dry air, excellent for making power.

I think you have further shown how these cars don't like to be 'riced'. Simple little efficiency mods are all you need. Mid 13's are not hard to get either and you certainly don't need a front mounted intercooler. I think the vast majority of the front mounted cooler brigade in R33s with factory turbos are still stuck in 14's, where they belong.

i saw you run fane, lol man your brakes were squeeling like mofos

[fane]

thanks rev thought you might be happy with that.....only got 4 runs for the whole night would have liked to have got that 13.7

jolinator: i know they are Bendix Advance and they are the squeekiest brakes ever....also couldnt get those tyres to smoke.... they would just heat up and grip.....awesome tyres tho!!

[benm]

What size/brand tyres were you using Fane?

Fane - Don't forget... You had thermal wrap on the intercooler return pipe too Big win (must do that soon)

Just to give everyone another example that 13's can be had with mild mods....

I did 13.96 @ 101.8mph, 2.265 60' with.....

Xtreme Ceramic clutch (Auto-clutch special )

235/45/17s

EBC @ 9psi

POD Filter

NGK Copper Plugs @ 0.8

Cat-back exhaust (STOCK 2.25" cat) *cough*

Just a front pipe, Stock Dump.

Oh yeah, Nismo coilover suspension (hard as hell)

At this point the car was running rich as hell, as it had No AFCII at the time...flamethrowing on every gear change *drool*

[Rb20_4valve]

when i got my 32 i did a 13.9 with just and exhaust & coilovers. everything else was stock

so 13s is well easy with light mods
