whats with the kid comments on here?

Oh and for the dyno day... i believe my 350z pulled nearly as much as some of your

turbo hypered up cars with more mods then a transformer.

But yeah, for a FACT... the Carrera S is a 3.8 litre 'non turbo' and its 0-100 is nearly 5s for the 2008 model

and also it was auto, so good luck clutching.... fast n furious kids

hahah, gaz, now thats funny. You could pull almost as much power as some of theirs yes, but power to weight ratio says you will still get toasted. I pulled 193rwhp with my stock VZ SV6 last year for laughs at a toyota performance day, about 30 or so hp less than yours, but you can go ahead and keep kidding yourself if you want. I'll enjoy watching.

As for the power aswel, I was pulling on average about 20hp more than a lot of the cars on that toyota dyno day aswel (there were turbo 180's and so forth there also) but I wasn't so delusional that I actually believed for a second I'd stand a chance against them in a drag.

See you sound pissed because you spent ALL THAT MONEY on something that is in essence, a "drive to the shop and look good" car. But that's just my opinion. Not meant as an attack, but just to draw attention to what it is you are on about.

Gary theres so much that could of went on during the "race", reaction, road conditions, traction, weight etc

At the end of the day most of us believe you would of lost, as to pointing out how you won, your guess i as good as mine

ps. extracting power out of turbo hypered up cars is much easier then a 350z

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
