It will be good, hopefully if we get some of the higher powered MX6's (200kW ATW plus) it should make for an interesting day

We should organise a cruise together... I'll happily give you guys a run. I don't care if I win or lose, it's all about the fun. Tripharn

Yea, there is a trick though... and it is an engine swap. It is a direct fit engine (so it's not cheating in my mind anyway ), and is pretty much identical to the SR20 engine, except by what I've seen them do, they are probably stronger (I know you are thinking, no way... but you just have to see it to believe it). Also, for the $6k you would have to install the engine, wire up the computer etc. yourself. That is my budget anyway, and I know of people who are getting close to 200kW while spending a fair bit less. (The engine sells for less than $1000). Oh, and I didn't count all the stuff I already have on the car, such as exhaust (but I'll still need new a dump pipe etc). Also, for being pedantic, it won't be rwkw, as it is front wheel drive, so maybe a little more power due to their being less drivetrain loss on a front wheel drive. So, on another note, the power will be there, but traction won't. As for TX5, yea, if it is between an 88-90 then it is the same engine as the MX6.

There is 3 of them within 15mins drive of where I live.... And money wise, if you where to do it on the cheap, it would cost around $5k - $6k depending on how much work you did yourself. So, on top of a purchase price of $6k, that is a pretty quick car for only $11k. On that topic, 2 of those 3 cars are for sale if anyone wants one

If the MX6 has even a half decent driver you won't beat him off the line, even with the MX6 being front wheel drive. With a boost controller and a $200 ECU mod that 5psi changes to 15psi and the car is completely different again. But after that, if the MX6 is pretty stock you should run it down. But be aware there when you pull up against them lately as there is alot of these cars pushing over 220kW ATW. :whip:

Mate, go read the posts instead of looking at the pretty pictures of MX6's. There has been at least 2 posts quoting 13sec track times for stock GTR's..... I'm not calling all them liars... just you :shake:

Well I got the 206kW off the Nissan website... 15% drivetrain loss on a 4WD is pretty bloody good! and for a car that is about 10yrs old then 5% is also very good! I admitted that I didn't know exactly since I don't own one and couldn't find the info on the net... not that I looked for hrs though. You haven't proven me wrong yet, or offered me an alternative. And I repeat again, I never said that I would win, or that I have one. So again, get your facts straight. If you think that my facts are unsubstantiated then look at the other posts. I'm going off their figures too, quoting stock GTR's from 12-13secs.... So I'm pretty close aren't I? Not that unsubstantiated I think. Maybe you want to tell me what the stock car will get? Just going off your head and not quoting any proven facts doesn't prove much at all... just that you don't know either, but at least I said I was guessing. Unlike you. Tripharn

LOL... that is pretty funny. I'll remember that. I don't remember how money come into it... but I think it came back to the, since our cars where made in the 80's they where shit or something. So I just said, yea and less than half the price buddy.... or something. I forget. pentae - We'll have a cruise up the Sunshine Coast at the end of Uni exams... if I remember I'll add a post here. If not, try to remember to add post over on our site about your next one.... CIAO! I really am going to bed... now that The Bachelor III has finished ... :headshot:

Hehehe, that is cool Good night! You won't be able to miss my MX6... its white with a bonnet vent... cya round the streets. I like this one too...

I'm getting tired and I want to go to bed. So this is my last post. I like Silvias... in fact I nearly bought one instead of the MX6, but I wasn't greatly impressed after going for a drive in one. But going from $9k to $13.7k is an extra $4700... which in fact is enough to buy another MX6 or over half the total cost of my car! Do you see what I'm trying to say??? You might not like FWD and to be honest I didn't like the idea in the first place. But get in one, and like I've always said. You'll be surprised. GOOD NIGHT! Remember I look forward to the cruise. If you are in Brisbane Pantae bring your Silvia along... I'll give you a head start Just kidding! Tripharn

You must have me confused with someone else Ait I never said that I have beaten a Skyline, since I don't remember racing one. Maybe you should check your facts mate, because I'm simmering down??? I've not changed... you have me confused. In fact read my threads I have made a point of not saying I have beaten a Skyline... damn, I really hope you aren't talking about me otherwise I've wasted more time than I thought since you don't even read what is written. Tripharn

For bang for your buck you need to quote figures! My car is a '91. Has the following... Power: 150kw ATW Weight: ~1200kg Qtr Mile: Haven't done it yet.. need a clutch Accessories include. Power assisted, speed sensitive 4 Wheel Steering. ABS A/C Sunroof Electric everything Cruise control blah blah blah Total cost of car is less than $9000 including mods. Now tell the truth, how much have you spent? Tripharn

No your not... We all know that the 2nd Gens are far more powerful than the 1st Gens. Ok, ok... I'm only joking. I don't want to start this again Tripharn

Remember I said stock (I have always stated stock, since this was the original scenario).... and I would hope that it is pulling 13 secs... otherwise I will be beside you if you aren't! Tripharn

I didn't say I would win... I said it would be close and unless you have been in my car then basically you know shit and I'm pretty sure your head wouldn't fit in the door anyway. I really don't care if I offend GTR owners... I said it would be close. I didn't say I would win, so get over yourself and your cars. I could buy 2 MX6's for one of your cars and go on a yearly holiday with the money I save on insurance. All that was said was that a guy beat a Skyline. It is possible you know! If you don't think that it can happen then you really know nothing about our cars... which is becoming extremely obvious. See you guys on the street. Remember to invite us on a cruise... I hope you aren't all idiots. Tripharn
