u serious? i think its time for u to learn to drive a manual ;)

even in auto u should be able to beat it.... stall it up a little next time... even my 32 thrashes veradas and magna sports models easily.

... must not respond, must not talk about illegal acts..

ok, well a "friend" right who might have owned a skyline at some point in time "noticed" that a lot of other Magna drivers are increasingly having the idea that they are are driving a "sports" car putting on big exhausts, big rims, and the like. I think this comes down to the fact that they can maybe "best" a V6 commodore now and then and sure they are probably not too slow for what they are. However in reality when my "friend" came near these cars, which seem to be quite often willing to "test" their cars, the um "situation" proved that they indeed have a good "stop to go" capability, they lack um "abilities" after the first initial "stop go" point in time.

bout what... 156kw at like 1600kg's, vs. 160'ish kw's, 1300kg's....

used to drive my mum's Verada wagon quite a bit, engine got nothing on a BMW 3.0 Straight six. Bitsamising engine is ok, but i would def think not a R32 Turbo beater.

kw is not what moves a car :bahaha:

it's the torque, and where/how long that torque is made over what RPM will determine who will win.

you can have similar kw, but if you got WAY more torque... i know who'll win...

Also then you gotta look at diff ratios etc etc.

Exactly, its the car with the best average spread of kw's that wins races, not peak power, and especially in an auto.

okz.. lets put this one to rest

317Nm @ 4500rpm is the specs for the latest 3.5L VRX jigga jigga auto/blah (mind you still only SOHC) ...1570kg

R33 skyline (stock) peak torque: 294Nm @ 4800rpm

R32 Skyline (stock) peak torque: 264Nm @ 3200rpm

Now very little difference in peak torque, and the the magna is at least 200kg heavier.. stock 32 would probably be close.. stock 33 would easy win.

If yours is a stock R32 WazR32GTSt then that is probably why :-)

CASE CLOSED

once again... i prove my limited intelligence has merits :)

But yes. stock, you'd get eaten.

but also it's be interesting how much the magna makes upto that point, is it constant or a quick peak?

getting both graphs for comparison would be good.

but yes. magna... those who say they've beaten them blah blah... Ok, whatever. Stock - Stock i'd have $$$ on magna.

note gordo... the R33 is heavier so it again would be interesting.

that also have a fair factor to consider.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
