Okay this is how i see it;

Most stock R33 25t's i've seen run will run low 14's with crappy 60ft's between 2.0 - 2.5 put a set of slicks on it on stock rims i'm sure you could get 60ft down to 1.75 - 1.8 which should give you enough for low 13's and remember that elf is going to give you more power.

I find it hard to believe even a high 13 out of a stocker..

mine has a full exhaust ('cept the dump) with some nice suspension mods, i get 2.25 60' times.... (235 tyres) and I only managed a 14.86 BEST.

with a POD, and boost to 10psi I think a high 13 would be possible. but not stock. I'd like to see someone's timeslip for a STOCKER!?!?!

Just cos you can't drive, doesn't mean that the car isn't capable of better :mad:;):D :D :P

I managed a 14.3 @ 95mph with spinning tyres in my stock R33 (air filter and cat back exhaust)... With good traction off the line (slicks as kabab suggested), a high 13 is very possible.

Low 13? No chance in hell.

Yeah but thoes mods would barely increase any power..

I still think low 13's are possible, most of you guys who go out have really stiff suspension to which doesn't help at all either...

Also another factor GTR's can run thoes time with abit more power stock which the elf would make up for and with slicks on stock suspension your 60ft's should be similar if not better.

not much differance? go learn what mods do to a car kabab.. i woulda thought u'd have half a clue considering how long u been on forums. Exhausts.. especially on turbo cars help, not just by the better flow but by the inherent boost increase which comes with this better flow etc. So an exhaust is a decent mod for a car. put a stock exhaust on and see how asthmatic your car feels especially top end.

look at all these people with mods tho.... hicks is pulling 13.7 (BEST)

and he's got 14psi, POD, full zorst, FMIC.. all that...

if you can pull a high 13 stock, why spend $2500 on those mods ?

hence my theory of not getting a stocker in the 13s....

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
