Power....when Do You Think Its Enough?

[nsta]

Hey guys, for all the power hungry ppl out there, i was wondering how it feels to have skylines that pull above the 700-800nm torque range???, after all it is seat of pants that is the human torqueometer isnt it lol!!!Ive only midly modded my 25t and i still feel the need for more power, but does it ever get unnerving when you get to such high power outputs???, or is it always the same........still feel the need for more hahah

just a general chat question lol bored!

[silva33]

It never ends!!!!!!! I havent even got my car back from modding it once again and im already thinking about what to do next...

I think enough is enough when you start loosing traction and it becomes undrivable on the street..

good post

im about 200rwkw, and its probably too much for just a street car

just a quick blip and you are pretty much over the speed limit

theres not many roads around where u can enjoy the power without exceeding the speed limit

id love to make more power if i hit the track, but as my line is our daily driver and it needs to be on the road, it probably will never happen

i wont be powering her up anymore i dont think

Its like money nsta, when ur poor u say if i had 10 million dollars i would give half of it to all my mates and i would never work again. However the more u have the more u want, more and more and more... Its like a game, a sick game, a sick addiction, it becomes an obsession until it devours you... or until u wrap urself around a pole (God forbid)

250rwkw i reckon would be enough for me btw.

if you are talking nm at the wheels, 700-800nm is never going to

happen with any Rb.

300rwkw is fun but's gets boring, 378rwkw is fun for now,640nm of torque

cheers

Too much power will still be never enough.

What can I say its a disease.

[nsta]

hahahah, i so know the feeling, ive got a 25t and am still wondering what the limits are with these cars before traction becomes an issue lol, im at around 180rwkw with basic mods and it seems to hold my 265 rubber atm.

Umm, how much torque do you guys produce at around 250-300rwkw?

[|ANT|]

I got a 25t and im currently on 200rwkw which is ample for the moment, but after a good 3 months when i catch up with the power, only then will i hunger for more.

[Butler]

u can never have enough power!

[Busky2k]

When you have an accident, thats when you probably had too much power. Until then, crank the boost!

/10yo kid mode off but I like it

[benm]

That is true... their is no such thing as too much power when you are in control ... but get it out of control and even 100kw is too much power

Got 230rwkw.Good tyres suspension and driving will usually be the limiting factor.400rwkw in the wrong hands will definately be the limit.200rwkw with a highly skilled driver would do more.Some track days and quality tyres and brake pads and 250rwkw should be just about perfect.

[giant]

i would say depends on choice of racing, street, track or drags. circuits & street i think you can definately have too much power.

drags i reckon you can never have to much power!

circuit i reckon depends on skill and track but for me high 300 kw's @ 4wheels is more than enough and other factors start playing an important part eg brakes and handling just to keep it pointing in the right direction.

street i would reckon no more than 300 for safety sake

If you poke it, and the next thing you are sitting still in someones front yard; airbags deflated, front bar smashed up, all in the space of a millisecond, then you almost have enough power

[scathing]

For my street car, when I can't put it down in the dry with a decent set of streetable tyres, then I'll have too much power.

If I were to build a track car, when I can't put the power down in the dry with a set of full slicks then I'll have too much power.

Right now, I'm going to guesstimate 300rwkW will be about the maximum I'd want in my street car. Especially if I can shift my power curve higher up in the rev range. Otherwise, I'd be happy with around 250rwkW. I should still be able to floor it out of 3rd gear corners without wheelspinning at that level.

I think it also depends on the type of car. If its a gts-t, 300rwkw would be getting on the limit of a tractable car. 400rwkw + would seem to be the limit on a gtr

[nsta]

lol, i didnt know you can power down at 300rwkw and stil have traction, is this with some sort of lsd'd or what?, even at 180rwkw i feel there is a bit of issues with my tyres trying to grip whilst building boost!

[croat]

for a perfect street car i think u will need round 280-300rwkw. i have 260 at the moment and it feels a little slow after a while. definately going to upgrade to something bigger

[nsta]

cheers, i was aiming at ~250-300rwkw, so it seems like a good goal then lol, what kind of times do ppl get on the strip with such power, and still being a street car???i was under the impression having a little less will give you more traction down low??

[Munna]

id love somwhere between 250-300rwkw but im happy with 200rwkw and it would cost me at least 6-7000 to get to those numbers.
