Its MINE! My car was picked up today!!!! btw it has GTR front, 400R rear and sides. And it looks absolutely awesome!!!

and btw your s15 slo dude!

Were you travelling down south road yesterday (18th Dec Thursday) at around 4pm? If so I think i pulled up next to ya in n13 sportbak. If it was you .. man it sounds horney too.

The week b4 adelaide autosalon the jms r33 made 308 rwkw.What you have got to realise is this cars engine has stock internals so its a v big ask to punch these sorts of numbers and have any sort of reliability!

Is that all you have to write?

Cos Im quite interested to learn otherwise.

I am sorry, the vain of your post, as I interpreted it was that you were making a statement, not asking a question.

The truth of it is, as Rob stated, most grey imports at the higher end of drag racing, both here and in Japan, use manual transmission. Manual is the norm, auto isnt.

308rwkw to 448rwkw. That's one hell of a jump in power! Maybe it made 308 on 0.5 bar & they ran 1.5bar on Salon day? :D

308rwkw I certainly believe.

The 308 is the true figure that the car made,how the reading got so highat autosalon is a mystery either a glitch on the dyno itself or someone has played with the figures so that it would win the event.The pity of it is that this recorded reading is and will be listed in the all time power readings achieved at autosalon,which is akin to barbi wining the whole years dyno runs by blowing everyone away with one run and having those figures backdated so that it wins every round and gets the back dated points! (I figure if your not there on the day you dont win! It just shows youto what lenghts they will go to so their prefered favourites win.)Also what it does do is make it hard for you me and the average punter to get onto these rcorded records when doctored figures are being posted as fact.

350rwkw is a bit too much for my engine to manage Hip. Edit - Not too much for the engine but I doubt my current turbo combo has enough in it.

A big dyno number is all well & good, but I'd rather run decent numbers at AIR :D

I'd love to put MattR's HKS on, but the budget won't allow it (actually I've got the $$$ but the Mrs won't allow it :( )

Oops! Mrs just read that over my shoulder :type: :slap: *ouch that hurt* :D

In drag racing auto will always be king. I dont know why the japs keep manual, i think they rather keep it the way it is rather then running quicker times. They seem to be set in there ways and dont like to change. But auto and turbo cars in australia is definatly on the increase. Look at the mick guys r32 gtr, uses a 2 speed power glide built by MV autos and ran low 10 sec pass off the trailer! the rigolies accent dropped nearly a second from going from manual to auto. Try 9s and various other sub zero vuilt skylines all auto. All the quick top 10 vl turbos auto. FJ 20 200B in adleiade that runs low 10's. Its only a matter of time that autos become move avalible for gtr's et that they will become more popular.

SR910,

AFAIK the Japanese prefer to keep a manual gearbox so as to have more of an all round 'street' drag car. Of course auto is the way to go for straight line speed, no doubt about that.

It all comes down to compromise. How far is one willing to go to be fast over 400m & compromise the rest of the 'street' car package? To me personally, I see an R32 GT-R with a 2sp Powerglide as a horrible waste. I'd rather a low/mid 11sec GT-R that can handle the twisty stuff as well as the straight line stuff, than a 10sec 2sp pig. When you're talking BIG horsepower record breaking stuff (ie Kier, John, Mario, Croydon NZ etc...) then it's a different story.

The defect list on the ex-JMS R33 would be nasty :D

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
