Stop all this crapping on about what you will or won't do over the quarter based on a dyno.

Take it to the strip, till you do an actual 13 you can say nothing. Tell everyone you expect 14's so when you run 13's you can act pleased.

My old R33 gtst ran low 13's with less work on horsepower output and more on maximising engine response, something a dyno doesn't show you. You may like to spend some time on traction issues too. You don't need that much power to run low 13's just good average power.

I reckon if people like guessing about 1/4 mile times so much based on dynos someone should start taking bets. I think I'd do pretty good business as a bookie. :(

I ran a 13.6 with 155rwkw in my R33 gtst, the turbo wouldnt hold boost, and the clutch was slipping, this was at WSID, if I had a scanner I would post it for you.

Come to think of it I ran the 13.6 with only 3in zorst from turbo, and EMS stinger, bleed valve set for 15psi.

like i said it done a high 14 @143 so anytime quicker than that will do me 4 now and with new reading i hope to get a mid- hi 13 ,just thought some guys in here had a rough idea on what it could run ,and they have thankx guys, (didnt i say there is no strip here ) but it wont be long wsid is looking the closest

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
