Hi all,

Im looking at getting an 5sp R33 GTS-T soon, and am wondering what sort of mods will be required to get into a mid 13sec 1/4. By looking at the time slip registry, it would seem that around the 200-250 rwhp is required (150~185rwkw).

What sort of mods are required to produce this? Are the mods such as full exhaust from turbo back, FMIC and boost control (at what psi??) enough to get these times? The reason I ask is the car will be a daily driver, but I want it quick enough to have some fun on the weekends too.

The car simply wont be a straight line car either, the suspension will be set up for hills handling (low springs and new shocks, strut brace), so will this affect times too much?

Thanks for your help.

Lee

someone asked about that not long ago dude, i personally dont know but i saved the recommendation of parts someone posted up, they were:

" front pipe / dump pipe / hiflow cat / 3" turbo back probably $1400 ish?

the dump pipe and hiflow will give a good power upgrade as the stock system is

pretty restrictive. other cheap mods,

apexi safc $400 untuned

cold air intake kit $200

some wider tyres 245's 255's. $400 each

pineapple kit $150

pod filter with cold air intake $80 pod only

boost controller (bleed or electronic). - bleed $50 - elec $250 "

hope thats some help :)

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
