But do they have any handeling?

Obviously not enougth for the hill climb, but maybe at a wakefield track day?

Having never driven any Skyline, I can't give you an answer based on personal experience... however, I'm confident that Supras hold their own on the circuit. And if we're talking about the HillClimb as an example, Mazman was driving a seriously overturboed car for that circuit and STILL beat most of your Skylines.

The best way to find out is put your money where your mouths are and get people from both camps to commit to a track / dyno / drag competition.

Agreed, though Dyno and Drag would both favour the Supra.

When it cools down, there is some interest in driving to Sydney and attending the regular Friday night drags. Otherwise SAU NSW hold a drag day each year??

Mazman is a dude and has an awesome car. Still most of the skylines were first timers to any competative racing and none had any of the money spent that the supra did.

Saying that a 4th place was awesome by the Mazman and I take nothing from the man.

i love how easily discussions on car forum degenerate into.. "mine is better than yours" if supras came out of the factory with 4wd it would be a different story.

Anyway getting back to the topic, its this going aheard? if i cant be in it then i will turn up and watch, should be awesome fun :)

I'm certain all cars would be welcome :) if your on this forum. Except maybe real shitters but that could be a laugh too. The passion is about your car whatever it is.

As far as mines better n faster than yours - whatever dudes. Everyone knows when it comes to speed/handling/looks of cars it's more about who has more disposable cash.

Your car is for you. What you want, what you want it to look like, how you want it to handle, how much speed you can afford or want, a good sound system if your into music. Sure others can appreciate it but really it's for you. I care a little what others think but dont get hung up on it. It's nice when some one else appreciates your car for what it is.

Anyway I'd be seriously dissapointed if peeps on this forum couldn't have their pride n joy in the Photo's.

Yeh. So back on topic, I would be once again happy to help Justin organise another photo shoot. I get the datto back this weekend from respray, so ill bring it along. But no one seems to have answered whether they want Justin to do the photography (instead we had a pissing contest and lets face it, Dattos rule :)), so can we get a show of hands or whatever please?

I am bored.....

Don't know what happened to Alan, but these things don't organise themselves.

Initially this idea was proposed on the R31 Skyline Club forum. You guys must know how the two clubs don't really mingle and it might have even put some people off.

Anyway, a new thread will probably be created once details are finalised.

I'm still here just stiing back and watching the posts.

I will be looking at the Easter Long weekend for the shoot.

A month or so away so plenty of time to arange an approprite venue.

Also gives us 4 days to choose from just in case of bad weather.

Anyway thats what I have in mind over to you guys....

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
