I'm having a shot at the low/flat 13.

If I get there I'll have spent:

$400 on exhaust dump pipe and thermal wrap

$99 on K&N Panel filter

$90 on Turbosmart bleeder

$330 on a new ceramic button clutch.

$700 on Ogura 4.8kg chrome molly flywheel.

$114 on whiteline diff cradle kit (part no. KCA349) YOU MUST BUY THIS FIRST!

I got a 13.8 with over 100kgs in the boot and a slipping stock clutch that had done 90,000kms & 205 tyres, only 8psi of boost used and no octane additives or anything fancy. My plugs were gapped at 1.1mm at this time.

For my next attempt I might get organised and take the work crap out of the car and I'll be running 10psi of boost. If I am able to get my 60ft down to 2.1/2.0 it should be interesting.

whats a diff cradle kit??

It is a kit that includes a set of six round nolathane bushes, you position 4 of them on the mounting points on the diff cradle. This changes the geometry allowing for better 'squat' when launching which important for increasing traction.

They are easy to fit and come with instructions. Takes about 15min.

Hopefully i can get a low 13 out of mine running 12psi... have yet to take it to the drags, but next time there is a SAU melbourne drag meet i'm gonna give it a good shot.

Basically mine is:

1. HKS FMIC ($1000 or so- apparently not essential unless running bigger turbo)

2. Turbosmart dualstage b/c (this one is $280 or so - so fairly cheap in comparison)

3. Apexi S-AFC ($450 or so)

4. Blitz pod w/ cold air ($200 or so)

5. HKS dump pipe + high flow cat (??)

6. Adj suspension (???)

I'd probably say 2, 3, and 5 are the most important... but 6 and possibly good strip tyres to get better traction and truly be guaranteed. So maybe $3000 for a similar type setup to be fitted and tuned? A good exhaust system probably would be the most expensive part of the equation.

Where did u get this kit from? Might need to consider same. Just on the street main problem is spin if i'm too eager on the accelerator.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
