It may have been a "dakar" version. They are heaps lighter (no aircon, power windows, etc). I know a guy with one that has run a 12.0 with FMIC, intake, exhaust, boost and a slipping clutch.

At the time my GTR had run an 11.9 with FMIC, intake, exhaust, boost.

So not a whole lot of difference for the same mods.

regarding the above comments;

I dont realistically believe I would acheive anywhere near that time, the fact remains my car will still be smoking fast. And thats before I start modding it. It's no GTR, but who gives a shit; i'll be driving it soon ;)

UK 'Jap Car' mag's are weird..............i was reading one today in the news agent. they were compairing a r34 GTR with an r34 GT-T just saying what the differences is etc. what they didnt explain was why both cars had GTR badges stuck all over them. they riced up the GT-T.

tool's.

If u take any car and totally strip it, it will be quicker than a stocker. But would you want to drive around in a car with no sound insulation, a/c, radio, power windows etc?? It may be quick in a straight line but who cares, u aint gonna be dragging it 12hrs a day are ya? I would rather drive a comfortable car that is also quick but practical 2.

There are cars out there, faster than your 14 second GTS-t's, so what.

It's all about whether or not you are happy with the car as a whole, be it for looks, speed, handling or any of the car's other characteristics.

I think Skyline owners need to stop trying to take a poke at any other car, just because it's not a Skyline. Skyline's are not the be all and end all of performance, or motoring.

Can you show me an individual that has said that Skylines are the be all and end all of performance?

Not necessarily in this thread. I just feel that any time that someone mentions another car's capabilities they are just discounted on here.

Grant, this is a forum for Skyline enthusiasts and I am a fan of the series too, however I do think that credit where credit is due, the GTiR is a great bang for buck, exciting car.

Josh,

Noone is disputing that the GTI-R is a great BFYB car...just a bit sceptical on the figures provided in the context of the comment...

For the record, i previously owned a quicker LS1 than my current Skyline, so im not a biased Skyline owner

bottom line is regarding performance if you wanna spend the bucks you will get the timeslip..

Or even better you could build a tube frame chassis, then stick a big hp engine in there and drivetrain and brag to everyone how fast your car is. Just like the story you have read of this guttered Gtir that runs a fast time, big deal, as you wouldnt want to drive around in it all day would you

So in other words, you don't read everything and make uninformed and inaccurate comments on unspecified things others have written. I can see no outright bagging of the GTiR here, just some opinions on looks and some reports of what might go wrong or what to expect from mods. I guess you've not read any threads on here about crunchy gearboxes, broken ringlands, and factory turbo limits on Skylines?

As a forum I find the people here to be the least biased compared to others. You even get the occasional Skyline owner recommending something other than a Skyline when someone asks what car to buy (shock horror!)

I think S15 owners need to stop making bollocks comments in this forum.

yeah UK skyline scene looks a bit weird.....i get the impression that they call all skylines GTR's like it is the only model. it's not a common car at all........

they're not really big here in scotland. i've seen 2. a R33 GTR that gets around, looks sweet. and a R34, not sure what it was but i could hear the damn thing for miles away. and it wasnt reving hi either......infact, pretty weird. i was walking down a main road and there were hardly any cars, this 34 was doing about half the speed limit, usually the other way round!

dodgy hatch backs are what's considered 'good' here.

Ive read in a number of places that these things do like 12.9's stocko.....

unfortunately not possible.

13.3 is considered fast for a stock one

12.9 is possible with boost, exhaust and cold air.

Speak to the guys that own them.

There would not be more than 5 in OZ that can break into 11 secs and one of them has 280Kwatts at the wheels with a best of 11.4.

A GTiR B (rally model) is only about 50kg lighter and has a front diff and close ratio box so should not be 1 sec faster.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By PLYNX · Posted

      And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !

      H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.

      Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
