Ok to get into the 12's you will most likly need to change the stock turbo.

I would go like this

exhuast + dump + front pipe (no need for screamer)

Air filter ($100 K&N)

FMIC (hybird 600x300x76 $400-$500 + piping)

Greddy Plenum (option really, just cut down on piping and is only good if ur aiming for higher power lvls $1200)

Ecu (power fc, wolf3d, motec etc, depending on the tuners in ur area will depend on what u get really if you have a good pfc tuner i would take that over an average wolf tuner) (PFC should cost you around $1300 inc hc)

EBC (apexi, hks,greddy price $500-$800)

Turbo i would go HKS GT25 (or highflow stock turbo) both i have seen good results and making a r33 run 12's :D

injectors i belived 550 would be the best for the power you would be aiming for

Just something to think about i have been told that pushing as stock r33 engine over the 300rwhp becomes risky and can results in damaging the engine really easy. Also you will be clutch and stock upgrade, and also bigger tyres than stock to make it easyer to get traction

thats all i got for now, hope it helps.

Ohh yeah 12's isnt easy, drag racing isnt easy ;) i ran a best @ 14.3 with 170rwhp (est i would say be around that mark) i could do better now the car is runing better etc, but getting the power to the ground is always the problem.

Autobox i would add cooler on it, do a serach heaps of info on r33 auto boxs.

ohh yeah and if u are using an r33 for drift, u need a 5spd auto wont cut it :P

mike :)

2rismo can run 12.9's before he hits the bottle, and i heard him say the record for stock turbo was around 12.7......quite possible depending on the condition of the car.

I can run a 13.4 using only cat back zorst and boost with crap tyres, but i might just be special lol

yeah sweet as, sounds good

thanks for all your answers,

will be doin most of the things you's have listed when

i get the money, i have a car im sellin

just a gemini thats been worked abit did high 15's in it

with a .8 start

so soon as i sell that i'll be onto the start of mods

thanks for all the help again

and you'll hear about it when i have done it.

Isn't "Drags" racing?  

Havn't u anything better to do circuit boy? got a chicane to go thru or sumthin? Haha :D

;) :upurs:

and I thought Pizza boy was racing for Williams in F1?

No such thing as street racing on SAU :D

i was just sayin "12's" as thats how fast i want the car to go

just givin you guys a figure, so ya know how fast i was talkin about.

sorry bout that, but yeah once i get most of the stuff done

i'll let yas know, and im for sure know will be askin for advice and whateva along the way

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
