Jeremy owns an R33 and R34 GTR, I think he has some money for replacement turbs if the need arises;)

I'm not questioning whether Jeremy can afford to replace them (and anything else they might damage upon failure) I was more aiming at what is the rough *safe* limit for the stock R33 GT-R turbine wheels. If 1.2bar is fine then this is an excellent bench mark for others to follow. If it is pushing beyond *safe* limits then I'd hate to think others will follow the lead and then end up with a failure :P

I am in no way attempting to take anything away from your achievement Jeremy.

GTS-t VSPEC - When do we get to see this 450rwhp unleashed on the drag strip? Regardless of traction you should be into the 130mph TS range with that kind of power.

I don't think such a high boost level is sustainable long term.

I have some good tyres for my car, but my twin plate is slipping, and the drag season is finished. So I have plenty of time to prepare for next season.

OK, I'm sucked in, the heading of this thread says ...

11 second Standard R33 GTR

But it is running 1.2 bar, that's not STANDARD is it?

Does it have the STANDARD exhaust as well?

What else isn't STANDARD? :headspin:

Maybe the heading should be PARTIALLY STANDARD or ALMOST STANDARD. :rant:

SK, I think this details what is standard about it.

So it has close ratio sequential dog engagement gearbox, runs BF Goodrich Drag radials, has an ATS LSD front and rear and is lightened so that it weighs 100 kgs with driver? :wassup:

Seriously, what isn't standard?

PS What's this

the drag season is finished
:headspin:

Surely you are kidding? Cold, dry weather for engine power and sunshine to make the track surface warm and sticky. This is when the best times are run. :aroused:

Stock driveline and street tyres. Anything else you'd like to know about?

Nah, it's too wet over here so they don't have any proper drags till much later in the year:(

Did he leave the spare wheel, tools and jack in? What about the CD's? :jk:

You poor buggers, it's the fastest time of the year over here. We have broken 2 lap records in the last month. :Pimp:

Dyno queen :rant:

lol

I'm beginning to think you are a dyno queen. :rofl:

1.2bar will last for ages on a gtr standard turbos

lots of supersprint... not a problem

been doing it for several years as well

Want a counter, GTR turbos 1.1 bar, 5 laps Oran Park, rear turbo ceramic turbine in the cat. : :spew:

Some people are lucky, some are not. So roll the dice if you like :Paranoid:

I'm pretty sure we have sunday racing at the plex this time of year, but getting a good fine day is a bit of a problem at the moment.

I'm very impressed with that time too Jezzz, gives me some hope for a decent time when I finally get mine down there... Just need to learn how to drag it without missing a gear!!!! ha ha ha

ive done about 15 customer cars all stock all standard turbos and all 240-270kw.

2 failures, one 5 minutes down the road after dyno run on r32gtr and other 2 hours after dyno run in a r34gtr.

so in my experience if it doesnt fail quicky , probably wont.

all the above cars were street cars and to the best of my knowledge all still going strong, my own car did 20,000kms with 268kw and still going strong(hey ferni).

OK ok ... its not entirely standard:

standard IC/turbos/internals/fuel system

Pump Fuel

EVERYTHING left in the car - spare wheel, CD's and alot of other shit too

1st time at the drags

Full exhaust (standard dumps) No CAT

Pod air filters

Power FC

Bridgestone SO3's

HKS EVC Boost controller

Still a pretty ****ing decent effort I would have thought (I am attributing alot of the credit to my tuner - anyone can belt a car down the quarter).

Boost was actually 1.0 - 1.1 bar and YES anything above 1 bar is a little risky and I am hoping not to lose the ceramic wheels onto the tarmac of Motorplex if possible - but that boost stuff is addictive.

I got lucky with both my GTRs - engines in good nick. My 33 puts out 275 KW@RW on 1 bar of boost, I have to say remove the CAT and see what happens.
