GTR 0-100 tested

[JayDee]

I tested my R32 GTR for the first time with a G-Tech Pro yesterday for a few 0-100 runs. I am interested to know anyone elses experience with 0-100 times(and what power their car is producing). Has anyone got anywhere close to the 4.79 sec 0-100 they are supposed to do standard.

Now I didn't launch with 5000 rpm or anything (my clutch is on it's way out) and got a best of 5.73 secs(Only tried 5 times) with 200rwkw.

I am interested to know anyone elses GTR experience(GTS-T's feel free to respond also).

I have an apexi speed meter original in mine (dont know how accurate it is) but i read a 4.3 once and can usually keep them constant 5.3's (GTST with Auto dif ratio 4.39:1) only gets about 102ks in second gear

my r32 GTR has a power fc and avcr with 1 bar. launched it at 5000 one night at 10 degrees ambient racing my mates sti and the best i could do was about 5.2 sec timed by the same meter. Im guessing u need to launch at like 6000 or something to prevent the thing being bogged and dropping revs/boost. Mind you, after a launch at 5000 the clutch smells like Chernobyl.

by the way i blew the f***** sti away. I think 4.7sec for the 100 kph can be reached if the car only had like 10,000 km on it and not much wear.

4.34 was the best i got when i first got my car with a gtech, clutch was average, slipped a little, and had a passenger and crap tyres ... since i have upgraded clutch (bites ALOT harder) and bit better tyres, and i think my driving has got a little better... i did a few runs that night was getting around mid 4 sec 0-100

~260rwkw....

I find if i don't launch, or bog, i get around 5sec 0-100, i recon same gtech, same flat road, with my new clutch, tyres etc. i could get closer to 4sec flat

Was running 12.4's on the gtech that night as well (passenger, full tank fuel, clutch slip etc..) but been told gtechs aren't very accuriate.

i was launching around 5500-6000 i think... but couldnt full throttle right away since the clutch would just slip.

I think G-Tech definately flatters. I tried a G-Tech a few years back in my stock Civic VTiR and it consistantly showed low 7s, best of 6.98s. I would be surprised if a stock Civic VTiR could pull an 8s flat. Which is of course why I sold it and bought a Skyline.

I remember reading about someone using one on 1/4 track and it showed 0.5 to 1.0s lower than the track times.

Yeah i tried one on my old car (VR Calais) and it reconed i was pulling 7.25 0-100 or something which i didn't think was right

GTechs can read "optimistically" if not mounted firm against the windscreen, as they can lean back and as a result read higher gforce. 4.7s is dead on what a mate of mine was getting in his near stock R32 GT-R on mine, had 3" exhaust at the time.

My R33 GTS25t does reliable 4.9s on a Passport GTimer with 211rwkw.

[ferni]

4.9 is impressive in a gtst with 211rwkw, must have good launches

Thanks I am not sure what a "good launch" is rated as being with a GTS25t, but I run 255" tires on it and don't get much more than scuffing - just enough for it to not bog. 60ft times (based on the GTimers reporting) range from 2.05-2.09s for the 4s runs.

Im not familiar with the Gtech but if its the same as the Blitz power meter and RSM, then it can be easily tricked by wheelspin

Ie you can get to 100km/h alot quicker because the wheels break traction, speedo jumps up to a 100km/h when the car is only going 80 etc

But GTRs wouldnt have this problem obviously

nah, the gtechs and AP22 etc use an accelerometer to measure g forces, so they are not related to wheel speed. I think its an option on the RSM as well. As long as they are mounted correctly they should be accurate.

BUt yes, if its just reading off wheel speed its pretty easy to trick.....if the wheels are spinning enough you can get to 100 pretty quick

[streetquick]

gtech pro is far more accurate than g tech but BOTH need to be run on dead level surface

the best ive used is dyno plus gives a full printed graph too

the dyno plus times have been varified by ANDRA timing gear .

best 0-100 4.69
