my old GTS used to look identical to a GTSt Type M (being a Type S).. was debadged and had wheel nut covers on the BBS rims, so no one could tell that it was a non turbo straight away. This meant half the road going dickhead population that drives riced up underpowered cars didn't want to attract my attention, and the other half of the road going dickhead population wanted to prove to me that their V8/turbo/supercharged car was faster than my "turbo" car.

Now... FYI we don't allow threads that involve street dragging. So I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you mean dragging on a drag strip... if you don't want to be embarassed, just pick someone to do the run who's got a car of similar specs to you. 6cyl VN's for example.

i drive an NA r31, it has extractors and 2 1/2"exhaust so it sounds alright and looks ok on the outside too, i find its the other way around, its the smaller engined cars wanting to have a go..

...the lights at the drag sanctioned race track right? hmmm.

my first skyline was a nice NA gts 33 (with 400r front and fully rice GTR badge, lol), sounded hell loud so people would hear me coming from a mile away.

one saturday night pulled up at a set of lights next to an immaculate white S15 with two very good looking blonde girls in it, me and a mate in my car.

gave a little nod, and got a smile and nod back, then lights turned green.

pulled away slowly then gave a little squirt as we both entered the freeway, and she in turn put the foot down and promptly whipped past me with ease.

not so embarassing in itself, except that we actually saw them again later and my mate tried to explain that my "gts-t" was in bad need of a tune... *bitchslaps idiot liar mate*

    • Wow, there's a user name I haven't seen for a while! Good to see you back @Sydneykid
    • Something to note, on an aftermarket BOV, it's quite possible to end up with the worst of both worlds, where on light throttle, there isn't enough force to open the BOV so you get small reversion and driveability issues, and with the venting to atmosphere, it dumps a lot of fuel on shifts. Realistically, dumping to atmosphere under power isn't a major driveability issues, compared to the issues of stalling from reversion. If you're getting up the throttle, then putting the clutch in, say on a shift up, but then don't release the clutch, yes, the engine can and will stall, but, just drive around it, and that's easy, let the clutch out in the next gear and the car rolling will keep it all running / going.who wants a hard hit of throttle and then to just let the motor idle anyway?   Main issue for driveability is blipping throttle and it wanting to stall, like when parking or trying to move in slow traffic.
    • As in they quoted one price, you mentioned the exhaust, and they promptly added $200 on top? Interesting.
    • Note that I'm not suggesting this is a great idea. Just saying that it is something that could be done to achieve a better outcome than the more shit ideas will provide.
    • I'd try removing it, connecting hoses and see if that helps. Depending on specs, it could actually be restricting the flow(it also might be helping).
