since im a bit of a vw nutcase, i thought this might be of some sort of interest to some of you.

this guy too it serious when someone said lighter car and powerful engine=fun and good for track.

this thing weights in at about 700ish kg.

oh and it wont get past 9 secs since its too light and its a bit aerodynamically challenged.

does use 4motion haldex system though

yeah, seen that one before, there is also one out there somewhere with a nissan patrol puttin gout 1500hp i think, its a sand hill climb.

guess thats a class on its own though :P

we should have a thread entitled "crazy youtube videos", thread for cars and a thread for just random crap.

that will be of use here, everyone needs a 4wd.

but i do wonder what the top speed of them are.

i doubt they would go over 280kmh

still pretty cool seeing a big 4L patrol fly up a hill with 1500hp

yeah the aerodynamics of them would slow them down a bit. i think they could still top 300kmh though (with 1500hp that is).

hmmm, seems plausible. the car is heavy enough to keep it down, use the golf and you will go airborne. one gust of wind and your dead.

even though the video didnt seem too fast. maybe 300 tops. but then again........ all the videos in here are pretty rad

WTF! You're a better judge than me mate. Sif anybody could actually make a call of that vid.

Could be doin 180 could be doin a squillion.

ive been at 330 in a lambo diablo. my uncle in germany is a prestige car dealer, does all crap like lambo and ferarri etc. been in alot of cars, (never driver though) and since we have the autobahn, we have a bit more fun. :P

that was def over the 200 mark by a long shot. but no gps speedo = not real

the patrol in that vid was definately doing well over 200. would have to be around 300kmh+. just look at the distance it is covering in a matter of a second or 2, remembering that at 100kmh you travel approximately 100m every 4 seconds.

if you ever want to see a really nicely built car, look up "VW RSi Dahlback" or some other crazy tuned Audi s2's

Heh, as soon as I saw the title to this thread I went looking for Dahlback vids.

A 2.3L 5 cylinder Audi motor destroked to 2.1L to get it to rev more. >1000hp, 4WD, totally insane.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
