How far away is the race...?

The GTR will be easier to drive than the 34 down the track but thats half the fun.

Only one way to find out...

If the 34 was auto I would say bye bye GTR but the manual will slow things down a little.

Sure there will be dozens of them, but the fastest 1/4 mile skyline in the world right now is a gtst and it resides in England.

Average street car is always going to get its arse handed to it by an awd but a prepped track car is a different animal and I believe that is what the original poster was talking about.

Street car dude, street car.

Biiiiiig difference between a street car and a single purpose, track dedicated drag car.

So going back to the original post, I still have my money on the GTR.

If we were talking 1000HP, track specific cars where the GTT has had all the work done to get it off the line and down the track, then my money would change.

But a street car, on street wheels, the 4wd will overcome the weight disadvantage.

And if you read the thread correctly he mentioned good suspension and the right wheel rubber combination.

Done correctly it will be at least the equal of a heavier gtr.

How do you think the vl boiz run 9/10 second passes.

With 1000hp and a 4 link rear and/or mini tubs, or at least specifically set up for straight lines and straight lines only.

And VLs are generally always going to be faster, mod for mod, thanks to a live rear and more cubes.

im well aware of the differences, on the strip it will have drag rims and micky thompsons, still working out suspension atm. gotta finish the engine and body work first mate

I'm talking about 3 litre bottom ends with single cam heads on street cars mate. do some research.

As im sure you are aware, it basically comes down to how well you can get the rear end to work, if you can get it to hook up, then the weight transfer will take over, and you will be home set, as long as the toe and camber can be controlled at maximum squat, and the gearchanges dont upset it too much. Good spring/shock matching are crucial in this area

I don't need to do research. You asked how the VL boys do 10 seconds. I answered.

There's no substitute for cubes. Shoot for straight out HP and an RB26 will struggle to match a single cam RB30.

All of my comments were in response to FineLine.

If you are going to really start setting your car up for straight lines and straight liens only, then my belief that the GTR will be quicker may change. But if both cars are to remain fairly "streetable" then I reckon the GTR will still have it. All (generalisation) the really, really fast streetable Skylines are GTRs (yeah, yeah, bar a select few RWDs but my point stands).

The only way your gtt will do a quick time will be if it has an auto behind it with a decent converter.

We can all praise the VL's but these cars that are running 9's are built with monster autos and might i add a decent squirt of gas off the line.

If both cars are manual, no question its on the GTR.

Except sitting there on the trans brake getting boost going for 10hrs before leaving the line :P

I still to this day admire Haddad & similar people...

The guy drives there with his 900-1000hp ~1600kg Monaro that is quieter than a corolla - runs a 9 sec pass off the tree - drives home all on legal radials :D

You could drive the thing around the corner to the milk bar and never think it was more than a clear bodied factory car (except for that little S/C whine)

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
