I found this on the fast fours site, one of the guys there found it and wouldn't say which forum it was off. maybe someone on here has seen it before.

Quote:

I issue a challenge to a Skyline owner, 1 race on a quarter mile, and 1 race on a proper track, no conditions, any transmission you

want,

in 4 years time, so some young Syline fanatic can build up their "brute machine" whilst I build mine.

I don't know wheather to use my Torana as it weighs 1180kg or use a VK Commodore, I am leaning towards the torry because a: I

already have it and b: it don't weigh jack shit.

So if any young ricer out there wants to stand up for their honour now is your chance, you'll have 4 years to sink some $$ into your

car, I know I'll be doing the same.

I know these turbo'd 4's go, but I bet they cant do what a Supercharged, NOS equipped 454 can, I am even thinking about stuffing

with the handling, not that it will be needed, I imagine the lead gained on the straights should be enough to win the race.

I await a Skyline driving challenger, and remember, not even 500kw at the rears/all wheels can help you here, you are going to find out

the bigger is better and that over 1000hp cant be matched by your 4 cylinder modern technology.

Torana Vs Skyline, the battle between the traditionalists and the ricers, 2006-2007, pencil it in and don't forget, all I need is a Skyline

driver who sin't afraid to do voer 160-180mph

:shake: that is probably what I would like to do to him

no I have been arguing with the guys at work unsuccessfully here. can anyone help me out with arguments I can use to win. what is the fastest skyline in the work that is actually a skyline, not just a shell built to look like one with the motor:( :)

Hrm.. Last time I checked my skyline was a turbo 6 too eh blitz.. We must have gotten special editions.

Well when ever he does race I will be sure to rock up with my handy cam, I am sure the coroner would appreciate the documentation.

that was my conclusion to blitz.

I don't hate V8's like the guys at work think I do. but I just think this little tosser is stupid. he is calling us things that just aren't realistic.

1 - "turbo 4's go fast". skylines are 6 cylinders!

2 - "even thinking about stuffing

with the handling, not that it will be needed, I imagine the lead gained on the straights should be enough to win the race." maybe, but if the skyline has the same power, or even just less. I think you would have to do the suspension or come to a complete stop before the first major corner(that or die trying to turn the ba5tard). Its not only about power though, I found this out at wakefield park.

I got my but handed to me by a Clio, the driver was awesome:)

3 - "the battle between the traditionalists and the ricers". I can only say no rice here mate, skylines are hardcore performance cars

4 - "all I need is a Skyline driver who sin't afraid to do voer 160-180mph". All I need to say is you probably dont' have the brains to upgrade the brakes so see you at the funeral moron

4 years time??? Mate, I guess he's still stacking shelves at woolies and saving everything for his dream torana!

I've got better things to do than waste 4 years and every penny I have just to prove jack sh*t and there's nothing worth getting in the end.

Why wont he say where it was from? Wouldnt the guy who wrote it want people to see it?

i reckon i might take the challenge, then just forget about it.

So in 4 years time when he rings me for the race i will be sitting in my own home which i own (bank owns) with a nice lightly modded skyline in the garage and he will be living by third world housing commision standards having just blown $200,000 on a car in which he now has no one to race.

    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
