ok, thats great

one guy gets to drive home in a gtr

the other in a busted old civic

who's the real winner?

but, who really modifies cars like that for comfort....not many

just another way to look at it...

moral of the story, skylines are not invincible...

this clip is so old

the gtr isnt giving it 100%..

look at the acceleration the civic has as it goes past.

if the gtr is flooring it against a light civic that manages to accelerate that fast past the gtr.. well it would be inpossible to grab that much traction in such a light FWD car and pass a gtr like that.

and besides.. no matter how much they punch it, the other people on the road hardly seem to fall back into the distance, if it was real then you wouldnt see ppl in the backround at all

all you are seeing is a gtr gearing down and giving half throttle against a semi quick civic

a civic with a k20a swap isn't slow

So one can still go round corners safly and the other cant. Cool!

That said the civic is probably giving it a good hiding. My mates fwd corolla is still being run in on 6psi and obviously less revs, stock computer shocking tune etc, and his car just EATS mine. When he gets the haltech he has installed and tuned, runs 20psi, and revs it out to 8500rpm... I highly doubt a mild to mid modded gtr will beat it (assuming he doesnt snap drive shafts, gearboxes, and somehow gets enough traction to move forwards). But his car wont go round corners, its f'ing scary now in a straight line. Moral is, you put big motors in little cars they will go very quickly, but probably wont be any good at anything else.

as usual, wanky americans building cars that dont go around corners or bends.

even if the civic bet it i would love to see both cars take it out on a race track. and to see the comments that all those people left on the video is horrible.

But untill i see an american car that can turn corners im not even gonna bother thinking that they have a decent car that can race.

There is literally no difference to strapping on a rocket to that car and lighting it while driving beside a GTR.

this has been discussed on many forums!!!

There was no race because the traffic behind is going the same speed as the skyline LOL

This thread was made by a clown that thinks that the single cam rb30's are better then a twin cam RB30.

Wouldnt take much notice of him.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
