Exactly. I Bet any track weapon with 1/4 the power would own that thing on the track. There's no use having that much power if you can't stop on a dime or put it to the ground.
And I bet a jet ski would be faster than both of them across water, a Landcruiser would tow a trailer better, and a Mazda 3 hatch would be better for the shops...
give me 100,000 pounds to spend on a car and we'll see what wins.
He said it owed him that much. That'd include buying it, and the multitude of engines it's had in it over the years. But yeah, 100k (pounds!!) is a big chunk of cash.
Lol give me 100K to put into a Skyline and lets see what we end up with?
I think you're underestimating how much things cost :P

I dont have a background in cars, but I do know how much it costs to electrosil and bullet proof a single 400cc engine. If you set out with 100k to make a nice well balanced touring touring car and based it on a Skyline, I daresay that you would end up with something pretty special.

Thats not to say it would buy you a whole lot :P

Doubt you would get near 7.80 second quarters unless you can do a lot, including chassis/clutch tuning, yourself.

Still $100k on a Skyline purely from a performance persective would be fun... although has been done several times over too.

U wouldnt even come close if you were the first to build a skyline for that purpose as the guy has to that car.

That is from latest season of 5th gear. The stupid looking host in the video is the new host along with VBH. He knows nothing about cars or anything much in general it seems. He looks like a D class uk actor they have decided to use for some reason instead of tiff or plato.

sue me if its a repost, i searched and nothing.

its quite cool - dont like how they compare it to the bugatti though.

and the uk must have some pretty lax car modification laws...

still cool none the less.

actually the UK has probably the most strick road laws in the world, which is why this car actually is quite interesting, he must be damn good engineer, to have made this car be able to be daily driveable, passing UK's very strict emission laws.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
