I'd like to see a full showdown between Skyline and *insert V8 of choice here*. Here are the challenges:

Drag Race (3 passes)

Circuit Race (5-8 laps)

Dyno run (3 passes each)

Shopping run (take your wife/girl shopping and load up the boot)

Designated Driver run (take your mates out for a night on the

town)

Boat Tow (erm, do i really need to explain this one?)

Push Home (after both cars f^&k themselves, the first one to be pushed home wins).

Any takers? LOL!

just had a run tonight actually with an SS VT with a V8 and it didn't sound one bit stock.... guessing he's got at least exhaust and maybe pod.

I'm running with an exhaust, pod and 10psi....

I managed to get the jump but he did keep up until I hit 3rd then he slowly disappeared into the night..... in my rear vision mirror :)

at Kwinana last night a vu r8 ran 13.4 and most of the WA skyline boys ran high 13's to low/mid 14's........... so beware not all comodores are slow, this one was handing the Jap cars their asses....

51jay - ummmmm Paul has has a "little" work done recently..... he just hasnt offically ran it down the quarter. And yes he made 411rwhp @ SST dyno.

Paul - yeah i was there - i was watching in the stands, came down and watched through the staging lanes - saw adam, and a few others - i didnt see you though. Was planning to race but my farken new turbo has shat its self after 7ooKM. Found out why to last after stripping cooler and shite off car, IMACUL8 will be off the road for a while till I buy another farken turbo... bloody hell.

Sorry, my bad :uhh: I thought this thread was this thread. He hasn't done a 1/4 mile run at the current rated power yet so his sig is somewhat misleading. Sorry about that!

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
