Doesn't that fit under the above classification? even if it is a Magna

firstly... i want to apologise coz i didn't read this thread.

secondly... this was at calder at the strip not on the roads ....yes that'll do

thirdly... i didn't stall the auto coz i didn't have time before the lights changed but i would have still lost anyways.

fourthly... and finally... my car is not completely stock. i have a cat-back, filter, and CAI. so that factors into the equation...

After 100k the engine ain't making no where near the stock power outputs and with my mods i rekon it brings it back to almost on par. As for the verada with 20k on the clock it is pretty much making initial power and hasn;t lost power due to wear and tear.

I'm thinking of getting that dump pipe from BATMBL does anyone think this will make any difference?

cheers,

Waz.

Often those mitsubishi's wanna test their car against me (Everyone thinks I drive an M3, not a 325i)... A few times I've taken the challenge... My car is faster in all ways, except the driver - I don't ever hammer my clutch, so baby it off the line at 2000rpm which generally sees me giving them a long lead to start with - still, i gain on them pretty quickly. :)

But then again, my engine is a finely tuned 2.5l 6cyl BMW engine with VANOS (still, it's stock)!

I been driving the new 2003 magnas around up north (hire cars) and they go preety nice. They really start to move from around 3500rpm and pull preety hard through to 6000rpm redline, but they torque steer preety bad to the right when accelerating hard.

Sound like you auto tranny is the thing letting u down waz

An auto GTS-t will smoke a lighter 3.5V6 Magna, let alone the heavier Verada!!!!!

My GTS-t was an auto, and my friend's Magna can't even keep up even in 0-60 acceleration only..... they don't make as much power, and all Magna/Verada range are lots heavier than skylines... talk about power to weight ratio, you know who the winner is...

Why I know this? My GTS-t was an auto, and my friend's Magna can't even keep up even in 0-80 acceleration only..... they don't make as much power, and all Magna/Verada range are lots heavier than skylines... talk about power to weight ratio, you know who the winner is...

what's my problem then?

could it be too thick oil (i use 15w60)? is something stuffed do you think?

any ideas... and i'm not talking about modding i mean what would bring the power back to what it should be

Oh, urs is R32? I dunno abt auto R32, your RB20DET makes less power than RB25DET from factory.

Mine was R33 auto (I have now converted to manual), and I got 138rwkw back when it was an auto. Now I got 154rwkw so with more power, I'm sure it would be faster than any Magna or Verada. Don't think it's the oil. I use 10w40 shouldn't be too much different with your 15w60.

So that could be the reason why your R32 GTS-t is having a tough time to beat a Magna. Mind though that the latest VR-X series Magna & Verada engines made at least 163kw. Not sure about rwkw but I would imagine somewhere around 120rwkw depend on the condition of clutch or torque converter.... and their 3.5L engine definitely have more low down torque than lumpy low response RB engines. Our RBs only get lively above 3000rpm. Over 400m if you keep accelerating, I am sure your R32 will win by a lot, but not 0-60.

Well, you need to go to the drag strip to prove 400m, not on the street!

didnt read the 32 part :P

all i know is that i raced at calder against a supercharged 3.8litre holden when my car was stock other than a catback (only just imported from Japan about a month earlier) and i beat him by about a car length... the SS i raced on the same night which had a zorst and air filter beat me by about the same length :D way too much torque for my little 2litre hehe even tho i did hit rev limiter on second gear (first time ever dragging or doing those speeds).

both cars i raced were auto... when i was a n00b driver... if i can beat a supercharged 3.8litre in a manual i cannot see any reason why u could not beat a 3.5litre NA auto.

PS. magnas dont have RWKW :) they are FWD :)

the verada 3.5 V6 isn't as bad as i think everyone believes. they are heaps quicker than an equivalent commonwhore.

you have to remember that most magna/verada's are the 3.0 V6 version. its only the later models that are the 3.5L and they kill it off the line...

and redlineGTR... stop whoring :P

i just think what i would do if i had a spare couple of grand to put into the car... hmmmm...
