Haven't seen it before either

That was a great video

Shows that Aussie cars are catching up (2002 car vs 1998 car) but also shows that Skylines are fit to be modified.

Agree with the poster at youtube in that they should've sourced a Skyline with a manual gearbox instead.

Lets get a 34 GTR into it then and compare it to the falcon...

Then let's get a Ford GT and compare it to a 34 GTR :P

Just because the Skyline comes off second best doesn't mean everyone in SAU has to get defensive about it. Geez.

Well....lets get a R390 GT1 and compare it to a Ford GT.

Heh, the R390 is my favourite Nissan car of all time but I wouldn't bet for it against a Ford GT...

Besides, there is zero info on the R390 road car.

Typhoon against R34 GTR is a fair fight, and one i will stand up to it. Factory specs claim typhoon pulls mid 13's, where as R34 should pull high 13's, but really, it does high 12's. The R34 GTT should kill XR6T easy, simply cause the XR is a family car, it wasnt designed as much as the R34. If we wanna talk big, than find a ford, thats built in Australia thats in the same era, say 1998 or 2002. As much as i hate to say it, ford sucked at creating sports cars during those times, it was only till 2004 that ford lifted thier game. Wait till the GTR 2007 gets released, than lets get talking.

Ps: XR6T pulls roughly 220KW, with the added weight, 1600kg, it should be similar to 206KW GTT skyline.

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
