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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
