Ok cool. Thanks guys, will try and also report.

Yes, but HOWEVER as you mentioned in the earlier posts, weight is a big issue AS WELL AS gear ratios. I doubt a small car ratio is enough to transform these Fords and Holdens into drag machines considering they weigh roughly 1700kg tare.

A VN commodore or EA Falcon would both come at or under 1400kg and both have 120-130kw probably 130-140kw with exhaust and a CAI. So gearing them up as drag machines would work well for the 0-100 sprint. As far as them being good quarter mile warriors, I dont think so, with those sorts of gear ratios one would imagine they would be topping out quite early.

as was said by franga, the brand new ones may weight that much but not the older ones, but the newer ones are also a lot more powerful than the old ones. a bit of work done to a BA xr6 (non turbo) will get it to run low 14's or high 13's.

the older falcons and commodores were down as low as about 1300kg, which is about the same weight as a skyline

well before i bought my R33 i had a 96 EF falcon with all the bolt-ons, mild cam and manual, and rolling start it was line ball to my stock R33 turbo. It had the power to do a mid 14, so without turbo no chance.

Yeah but this is bone stock (with downgrade of hot air intake). problems seem to only persist when cold, it used to be when warm as well. Keeps stuttering and power is on and off throughout the rev range. Idle keeps dropping up and down when cold.

Other than that crap, car is feeling pretty good for now. Still just a bit weak. Does anybody know if the part numbers of the fuel pump are different for the R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS25 S2? Thanks.

      Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.

      What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.

      Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.

      Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
