Had a run with a GTIR!. Hey last night when i was driving home from by brothers, i stubbled across a gtir pulsar. Originally i was gonna buy one of these pocket rocket, but decided to go for the r33. So this was a chance to see if i made the right choice. So i we both were side by side doing around 55 to 60km, and i heard him drop it back so i did the same we both took off, and i got bout half car length and than i just kept pullin away. I put this down to the 33 having more torque, so when we rolled up at lights i thought here we go lets see now, and to my amazment i stil beat him and pulled away, dont get me wrong its tight till bout 40kms, but after that all he can see is my nice big round tail lights glowing in the night. So my question is, how fast are the gtir pulsars? I have neva taken my car down the qtr mile, so i would like to know how i would fair. Also has anyone else had a run with a gtir pulsar.

My wife used to have a gti-r when we lived in the uk ..

trust cat back 3"

hks pod

1bar of boost

and DAMN the thing was quick ...

and VERY loud ... anyway, seat of the pants feel was that it was more spritely than my r33, but you are right, it lacks high end torque, it would burn off pretty much anything that tried .. there are not many skylines on the uk roads, so never came up against one at the lights .. she would get challenged at lights a lot by rice burners, and she always used to say how they would 'eat it'

the grip was great, having the atessa 4wd it just kept gripping and gripping ! unless you were in the wet, then 4 wheel spins in 1st 2nd 3rd

all in all i would deffo buy one again if i had to .. deffinatly a pocket rocket to consider ....

the only real bad point is that it drank more fuel than my r33 does !!! V thirsty beast.

Drew, congrats on the win :D You may find that the GTI-R driver wasn't so hot cause unless your car is nicely modded, and his is completely stock the GTI-R should beat you pretty nicely. GTI-R makes 172kw at the engine standard and weighs just over 1200 kilos. GTST weighs about 1400 (guessing) and has how much power (I don't know)? I've run a few 'lines in my lightly modded GTI-R and haven't been done in yet. But again, it comes down to how you/they are driving the thing too. A GTI-R with a few choice mods should run (high) 12 second quaters and have between 165 and 180 killowatts at all four wheels. The line is a nicer, newer car though plus GTI-R is a group A homologation special so don't feel bad.

Yeah i was quite supprised, but than again i do have 193.7 rwkws. And the Gtir pulsar did have exhaust, bov etc, from what i could see. I had a few runs with him but i took him ever time. Dont get me wrong i like the things, i just thought i did well considering my mods. Which are; Ces double dumps, hi-flowed cat, 3inch kakimoto fro the rest of the way, blitz air filter, brand new front mount, 10psi, 500hp fuel pump, and a Blitz air filter. Which =193.7 rwkw in shootout mode 04 @ APC in brisbane, or 260hp @ the treads. So i just thought i went well and possibly thought that maybe id be able to hit mid to high 13's i hope. :D

All depends on whole variety of factors when racing i think especially when you dont know

1. How many mods the car your racing have, how mods dose yours have compared, 2 How confident is driver that your racing? 3. Is the car your racing below standards e.g. might have engine problems clutch problems ect.

i wonder what the difference would be for the gtir down the quarter when:

a) 7000 rpm dump

B) 2-3000rpm clutch slowly let out

i suggest steve-sst you did a heafty launch with that time on a relatively stock car... obviously that kind of launch is possible but not feasable for regular use or the gearbox will die

Waz.

I never found GTiRs that impressive myself, when compared to WRXs or EVOs at least. My old NA Honda Prelude used to keep up with the basic bolt on ones, and my R33 would make my Prelude look stupid. At 2 dyno days I went to my Honda managed to pip them for power (JUST)... with all the cars putting out 140kw @ wheels. SR20DETs have a lot of potential, but the transmission is not so hot compared to the FR ones Nissan have made.

In not-counting-launch situations I can't imagine a GTiR holding me off unless it had quite a number of mods, though down the 1/4 I wouldn't be so confident - though the tracks over here (NZ) are quite slippery which gives the 4WDs a huge advantage.

LMAO at all those talking about beating GTiR's in their whales..

Please...!!!

and a prelude keeping up? pull the other one..!!

not many of their owners are willing to do 7000rpm launches..

2 weeks ago at WSID, there was a little black one with 15 inch wheels, pod filter and turbo back exhaust.

boost was up from 10.5psi to about 11.5psi with the intake and exhaust done..

with a nice launch.. (as in no dumps.. just slip the clutch a little and release when it gets moving), and crappy 60' times, he was running 13.5 all night..

let's remember that 1 second difference in a 1/4 mile race is about what? 3 or 4 car lengths?

4 R33 gtst's were there last night and I knew 3 of them..

1 with semi slicks and about 200rwkw ran a best of 13.4

the other with a little less power and street tyres but completely striped interior ran a 13.4

the last one which had cat back and a pod filter and 17's ran 15 flat.

the 4th I didn't know had fullsick leather interior and stereo stuff and was running high 14's..

So i call "BULLSHIT" to all of you saying you beat or kept up with a GTiR unless...

*you have over 200rwkw

*lightened car

*or the GTiR had issues..

Okay dude, I confess i made it all up. I didnt have a run with a gtir pulsar, it was a 1.8lt GXE pulsar. Dude get your facts straight before you go assuming that you know how every r33 gtst skyline runs and every gtir pulsar runs. I undertsand that Gtir pulsars are quik, but that doesnt mean that a nice r33 with a few mods couldnt beat one. In stock form the gtir is only slightly quicker than an r33, so say if the gtir only had exhaust and bov, which i stated in my first post, with the mods i have on my r33 i could and did beat a gtir pulsar. And also i would'nt exactly call an R33 gtst a whale. As for a prelude keeping up with one i dont know?? And another thing do a 7000rpm drop the clutch launch, why the hell would you, firstly you will either burn your clutch out, blow up your gear box, or if none those happen take a look at the burn left in your fly wheel, oh and if you aint happy do it again.

top end?

what exactly do you consider top end in traffic light race?

like I said.

exhaust and filter and was running 13.5 all night with no big launch.

I ran a 13.8 as my fastest and my trap speed was 165km/h which was red line in 3rd gear.

so what is this top end you are refering to while racing GTiR's from the lights?

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
