One of my mates owns a Subaru WRX.... he says that everytime he comes against a SKyline he smokes em nice.

IS this TRUE?

He said he's even done GTR's, and GTST"S are no challenge.

Frankly, I find that hard to believe.

Everyone will agree that the WRX stands no chance against the GTR, but what are its chances against the GTT R34 or modified GTST

WRX owners have an inflated opinion of their own cars I've seen. Does he ever mention whether these skylines are even trying?

Stock for stock maybe, but a modded GTS-T should be able to beat them. I don't have trouble with the couple of rexes i have tried, even once an STi wasn't that difficult.

Only advantage WRX is AWD so gets power off the line and maybe cornering.. otherwise GTS-T with a bit of power should be quicker and easily catch it.

GT-R ? What crack is he smoking? Does he even know what a genuine GTR looks like?

I mean WRX only have 170kw stock anyhow.. Their upgrade potential is also less bang for buck that skyline as well - most of the time the drivetrain or gearbox falls apart when you put more power through them.

Stock against stock the gtst would beat it at the line to because the rex actually bogs down first because of the AWD system. I have seen standard Gtst beet rexs all the time

they are hopeless

thats me

hey wouldnt mind some of that crack thats hes smoking dickhead

some people got no idea what so ever

all well

OK So a GTST would keep after 2nd but win if modified. GTR would absolutely kill the REX, but what about a WRX vs GTT R34?

MayB the GTR's hes claimed to have beaten are GTST's with GTR bodykit, and Badges: AFter all there are a lot goin' around

R34 vs. WRX? Usually an R34 would win after the second gear change (in 3rd, that is). Let them enjoy the first two gears and take 'em down by the time you shift third. Guarantee, there is no way he can keep up.

STis? In stock forms, I admit, they got an edge. But a slight modification to the Skyline would change everything. Again, same thing as the WRX... get 'em by the third. Guys, don't waste your time. Dragging a WRX don't mean shit... they are always at the disadvantage side for having a smaller engine in terms of capacity. Try to take them down in corners. After all, they always brag that a the car is a 4WD, a fool-proof... making everyone behind the wheels an instant pro racers...

Hmm, I only had one wrx try to race but I stuffed up take off and decided it wasnt worth trying to chase. Only had my car for a few weeks at the time.

Bring it on I say :D

Lets organise a major Skyline Vs other turbo / import cars drag event - @ calder I mean, b4 anyone gets all legal on me :)

And settle the BS once and for all!

ahh wrx's, 90% of owners are middle aged business men who know nothing about them, but just bought it coz it was a so called cult car.

Used to race 1 all the time after work at my old job coz the owner worked across the road. Hes had FMIC and a few other mods i could see. When my car was stock he used to woop me off the line down westall road but by 2nd, 3rd i would be near hes rear bumper. Then after i did all the mods, safc, fmic etc we lined up again and he wooped me off the line again but in the middle of 2nd i was beside him and 3rd i was already in front and pulling away.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
