Rezz

What times are you getting around, say, Grand Valley? Whatever time ANYBODY posts up, just name the track, and the car, and I'll beat it using the same car*!!!:D *To keep things so that even casual players can have a go, make sure that the car is one that you CAN BUY from the dealership. Ok?

Hey Disciple, no offence mate but the only thing worth doing with that car is either doing a full engine/front brakes/suspension swap with a Civic SiR, or sell the car for something with a bit more curry as standard... I know mate, your just after a few more kilowatts, but honestly, that engine isn't worth it.

>Kiwimatt: Do you remember this thread? Maximum Jap racing style...

Unfortunantly...... no:( It`s ADVANCE`s `33 GT-R demo car. You might know Advances NSX, coz it was one of Option 2`s cover cars last year. Some more pics... Thats a Trust front bumper and side skirts, a Trial rear bumper spoiler, and a Sard GT Wing PRO. Thats an HKS T51R-Kai hanging off the engine, and there are all sorts of Advance goodies inside the engine. They don`t divulge the power output, but, as it`s a track car, it`s prolly about 500 - 600ps (most circuit GT-R`s are about that)

Lovely work. It almost looks like a '34 GT-R Hatchback!

>akeenan: TMS will be open to the public from 25th October to the 5th of November at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. >nismoman18: Would you be able to post up some scans of the article and pics of the Speed Magazine GT-R story? I've looked high and low, BUT I CANT FIND ANYTHING about a V8 "GT-R"!!! Some other members said they'd post some reports, but I guess they forgot. No kidding, in Japan, there is NOTHING to say about a proposed V8 engine in a Skyline, let alone a GT-R... yet I hear rumours (especially from Oz and the US) that a V8 is a definate. Please could somebody shed some light on the source of the V8 GT-R rumour?

Who me?

It's sounds too typically "Japanesey" type word... hell only old buggers say that here, and even then, it's after a company meeting where they sing the company slogan and then yell "banzai" and throw they're hands up in the air 3 times... like you'd say in English "hip-hip hooray". Mothers say it to little kids when they're dressing them, so that the little kid throws his arms up and mum can put his t-shirt on. Do you really want that on your plate?:D:D

The NSX is sooooooo much more than a 1/4 mile timesheet... but point taken, it *should* be quicker point-to-point for the money.

I don't know why that article refers to the new skyline as an *R*35... when it's quite obvious that the new Skyline is a V6 VQ engine. It's V35 Have a look at this thread... It should tell you all the latest info up to July and some pics of the engine and other stuff.

Those wheels look kinda "Mercedes Benz Bling"... why not go for some racing style wheels?

Mmmm.... Check out the first post in this thread... It seems legit, but the source is from Brazil, so read into that any which way you want. As it stands, only a few Facons and HSV's made it in, which is about right coz nobody outside Australia gives a shit about Australian stuff . Honestly, theres only about 25-odd cars that are CONFIRMED as of mid-July, and most of them were older cars. But goddam it, I hope that link above is legit...

Aaaah shit, I've been living in Japan for the last 3-odd years, and engine power here is measured in "ps" (PS is short for Pferdestarke, the term for metric horsepower... 1.013 = 1Hp), and thats what the cars are measured by in the Jap version of GT3.

ok, first, don't use AT. Secondly, don't use a car with over 550ps. Any more than that and the car gets too "unmanagable" with on/off throttle changes. Get into the habit of "tapping" the throttle button... give it a bootful to get the tail out, then just as the car is at the point where it might do a 180 turn, back-off FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND, then "tap" the throttle again... and again... and again, in quick succession. All this time your steering from full lock (either way, depending if it's a right/left-hand corner) to center, to full-lock again, balacing the steering inputs with the throttle tapping. Use the brakes ONLY to keep the tail-out attitude in control. When you've mastered a good drift be it at Trial mountain, or the Big loop at Complex String, then you can get into using the handbrake to start the slide waaaaaay back from the corner...

>Nameless EJ6: The engine you have possibly came from either a Stagea 25t RS Four, a 25t X Four, or a 25t RS Four V. It didn't come from a 25t RS Four S because they only came with an MT trasmission. Stagea 25t RS Four (V, X) - E-WGNC34 Engine: RB25DET 2498cc in-line 6 Turbo Power: 235ps (174kw) @ 6400rpm Torque: 28.0kg/m @ 4800rpm Type: 4WD Transmission: AT only Weight: 1620kgs The Stagea debuted in September 1996, using the R33 FR platform wich used a 2.0L RB20E SOHC engine. The RB25DEt made an appearance in Sept 1997. The 4WD versions make use of a "Syncro Mode" ATTESA 4WD system (50/50 torque split?). In Sept 1998 there was a minor model change, the most obvious differences being the different front grill and incorporated fog-lamps, and the adoption of the NEO Straight 6 RB25, the turbo version which of course put out 280ps. The "Autech Version 260RS", the most famous of them all, had the RB26DETT installed, and took the crown for most awsome wagon from the Mitsubishi Legnum like Nissan had planned all along. Debut>Model change>Autech 260RS>

It's hard to say without actually driving it, but yes, it is a steal at that price. It's prolly had an acci"dent" or two in it's lifetime, and it might drive good around town, but get it on a dragstrip or track, and the OMG price might become more indicative of it's true condition.

Mou sude ni aru yo, demo nihongo de hanasu pointo ga nai datte, bokutachi wa oosutrariajin dakara... But don't worry about me dude, theres some Perth boys who are after some feedback:)

Nope. It's "benpi".

:bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha: Couldn't help but notice that your Username, if pronounced as is with a silent "h" (ben-pi) it means "constipation" in Japanese...

>TOnyGTSt: Just needs a set of aero mirrors, and it's complete...
