I DRAGGED A GTO IN MY OLD CAR (SUPRA TT , COOLER EXHAUST, CLUTCH 20PSI BOOST) HE LAUNCHED HARD OFF THE LIGHTS BUT AFTER SECOND GEAR HE WAS NOTHING TO ME AND THEATS IN A RWD CAR I RECKON THAT THEY ARE PRETTY SLOW AND HE WAS NO YOUNJGIN LIKE ME HEA WAS LIKE MAYBOE 30 SO I WOULD IMAGING HE WOULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE EXPERIANCE THAN A 20 YO KID

love the GTO look, also respect Mitsu for putting in the gadets (active aero and sus), if only they made it a bit lighter and the interior not so American........

ohhh.....i have never dragged a GTO by the way....... :dry:

Maybe it was GT4 :nyaanyaa: i can beat everything in that when the boost gauge is off the end of the scale.

oh and i though stocko Supra's turbos failed at like 14-15psi unless they've got steel exhaust wheels

  • 2 weeks later...

i own a stock as a rock gto and a rb26 stagea (500awhp+) and the gto is a killer car on the street, it pulls soo damn hard from 2000rpm its awesome out of corners, etc. top end lacks like the rb26 though as the turbos are tiny. i'd go a gto for daily duties as they have a great interior for the era they come out compared to same year gtr's which look soo 80s.

the yanks are running low 11s for very little $$$ too, billet transfer case ($1200us) is the one part needed if u want to drag and make decent power, besides that they are very strong engines, and the yanks have produced 900awhp from stock internal motors and one has even run a 9 on stock internals. the motor has same strength as the 2jz from what ive read on the 3si.com forums. driveline is the major let down for big power. i dont like the understeer of the gto either. gto's killll gtr's for looks and i think an early model gto has as much sex appeal as a 34 gtr, they draw sooo many looks on the street as they look so fat, low roof line and sleek style. handling is very boat like though. gtr's are wayy too common now as well, i have seen only 3 gto's since i have had mine.

gto = daily driver

gtr = weekend thrasher

gto with rims, suspension and exhuast = perfect daily car, able to keep up with 99% of hsv and fpv fords and look 100 times nicer as well :)

thats my 2 cents worth

    • I've sent JaseR33 a private message in the hope he gets an email and contacts you
    • I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.
    • There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.
    • Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.   
    • I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst
