Sounds like some TRX owners....

(hehehe)

Told us they'd smoke us on dyno day, but their cars couldn't get anywhere near the power figures of the R31's, and they're still making excuses, so now we're organising a drag day just to put an end to the dispute.

:burnout:

hmm.. I'm still of the belief that with a $20k GTS-T, an extra $20k spent, even if you have to chuck in a DETT engine ($10k?)..then spend $10k on the rest of the mods it will still be cheaper than what you'd spend on a GTR. Sure it will still handle like a -T but still, i think its in the realms of possibility.

Actually buy a Silvia for $10k.. chuck a RB26DETT engine in it and run away as fast as you can.. i think over the years this will become a lot more common and there are going to be some seriously quick hybrids around.. like the 12B is a common upgrade for just about any dato 1200, gemmini, etc at the moment - just the reliability sucks ass..

i dragged my mates wrx...

mines stock as a rock his is worked

he gets me of take of

but i catch da ****

rexs suck dick all there good for is take off

take em with a rolling start then see how good they r..

i recon with a lil boost and my exhaust thats coming in 2 weeks.,..

and some proper tires

il do da **** over twice as hard

mateee

ur ride on mower is fully sick blown man

u cant compair a skyline with a rexy

stock vs stock... r33 blow rexys ...

true true...

i mean..

there puss stock..

work a rexy a bite and work a skyline a lil and it gets intersting

but u know what would mucnh em all.. well 2 things

1.. my fully worked magna turbo running 25 psi

2. ur ride on mower..

yeh ernie was runing fulle zort boost...

and stiv driving he got me by half a car at the end on take of he had me buy 3 cars

so i caught up to him 2 cars by the end of the drag.. it was a 1/4 mile marked out at da back of werribee

yeh my mums ham van can go quick with 60k in it

Look what I've started, and boy have I let my mate know. U know what I think im going to start a lot of Skyline vs Forums to see how people rate the skyline against other japanese icons (ie Supra, rx7 etc)

MIght be biased though, but really what Jap car is better than the Skyline.....it (GTR-34) has one the japanese touring championship (sorta like the V8's here) the last 5 YEARS IN A ROW!!!!

Skyline vs ????????

stuff stock... skyline isn't that quick stock.. needs to be running 10-12psi to make it reasonable. Thing is spend $3k on a skyline gts-t and you'll have it running pretty fast.. whereas a WRX you'll be spending a hell of a lot more.

GTR is in a world of its own.. there is a reason everybody wants one or talks about owning one - they are the most powerful japanese sports car in terms of handling, upgrades, and of course the power.

WRX are just a 45k hotted up up Impreza.. Just like a clubsport is a hotted up Commodore. And a skyline is a ???? A skyline, nothing else.. not a family car, not a base model xxx with go fast bits. It starts with the GTR and they work back taking bits off until you have a GTS.

what u mean

... skylines arnt quick stock..

im friken raapppeeedd with my car at the moment

didnt touch it took it to calder ran a 14.01 and 14.3's 14'4s all day..

to be honest.. its the quickest stock car ive driven... im pretty impressed with it...

but yeh.. ur rite wrx r just worked imprezas.. and a skyline is just skylines. cant get any better

Edit: removed mod list due to possible cop pressence

slowed down near end i think because wasn't sure where the exact end of the run was :-S .. anyway, next time, different tyres, different setup.. see what i will get

    • 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
