Happy New Year guys... I hope '04 will be vastly improved over '03, I've got a feeling it will!

Yeah both diablo and skyline 1/4 time is slow.. the gtr mostly run high 12- low 13s fastest gtr i seen run is 12.777 in a R33 in a cold month but thats during cold months, so. Anyway aveage GT-R run 12.8-13.0s and the Diablo is quite fast around low 12s thats a big difference but the power is a big difference too.

The top speed isnt 112 on the GT-R im very sure about that and yeah that is pretty weird how the GT-R was very slow.

the top speed on the GTR is electronically limited to 112, simply cutting the #53 wire on the ecu (yellow and silver one) will effectively remove the limiter. You also have to remember that the skyline is running on 1/2 the engine. As for it's poor performace on the skidpad, you seem to forget that the reason the skyline does poorly is because of the Super Hicas that greatly hampers it in that area, removing the Hicas fuse will yeild greater performance. As for the fastest GTR I've seen a [email protected] and the Croydon Wholesalers R32 GTR ran a 8.69 @ 158 mph on street tires. I've also seen the HKS GTR putting out over 1500 Hp and running 51 psi of boost. There is also the 1360 hp fully road registered and street legal (yes it passes emissions) veilside GTR. Considering all the factors epecially price the GTR is more than a match for any diablo. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the skyline has also been detuned. See nissan only sets the injector duty cycle at 80% from the factory, meaning the skyline can only run at 80% efficiency. Another little issues is the boost restrictor plug placed inside the engine that forces all the boost through a tiny hole, simply remove it and you get instant free power. Take RazorGTR's R23 skyline for an example. He removed the plug, bought an aftermarket chip to take care of the 80% duty cycle problem and he runs an 11.82 @ 112 mph in full street trim including spare wheel and all tools and full interior...ooh wow only 300 bucks and hes running 11's in a car that was built in 1992. BTW incase you are wondering...he only paid 14K for his car, nowhere neat the price of the diablo.

Skyline GTR

Horsepower costs money, how fast can you afford to go?

Whats all this about a boost restrictor? And the duty cycle? All you guys with R32 GT-Rs have done this?

Am I reading this right? I had quite a few :( last night...

    • 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.
