Spearmint is in the house!

Hi all,

Decided to join this motoring forum to share my opinions with other like minded petrol heads.

I drive a 1996 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T which should be running about 450bhp at the hubs. It was 425bhp and 381 lb/ft but I've had her in at my tuners for some minor fettling so I'll find out the results in a couple of hours.

I'm also an avid member of the Skyline Owners Forum and the Skyline Owners Club so no doubt some fellow members are here.

Im not into Skyline ownership (as i cant drive), but im into skylines big time, and your skyline look's a beast. What sort of times are you running at the pod if you dont mind me asking.
Thanks, Dan

On my old set-up of a T3/T4 (Big lag) with 425 ath I was running low to mid 13's. I've since upgraded to a top mounted billet set-up with awesome spooling charateristics but more potential output.

I'm hoping for mid to high 12's on street tyres.

Sound's excellent keep us updated on what times you get.

I'll find out this weekend at the Japshow finale at Santa Pod. Fingers crossed the clutch holds!

Had a cracking day today.

The best I managed was cracking into the 12's with a:

12.934 @ 118.75mph.

Just to note thats on 235 street radials. With a decent second gear launch with an OS Giken twin plate + the perfect suspension set-up + a set of Mickey Thompsons should see me touch the elevens.

Excellent time!, hope you are able to boot your times down to the 11's that would be good.
good luck!
