Tell me if this is wrong thinking Chris...

But isn't an RB26 in a "GTS" a bunch of bogus?

It ceases to be a GTS without the RB25.

Could I perhaps stick a 20B with a air shifted Powerglide and still call it a GTS?

I mean it kinda devalues the good work people have done getting into the 10/11's with an RB25.

Nah i havent but ur right, they must be doing something right, the secret is getting the power to the ground and with a time of 10.8 it seems these people have done it. Many 300+ hp skylines on the road but little have a reasonable time to show as the motor gets the attention and not the part that matters the most.....tyres.

There are many ECR33s out there with the power potential to run 10s (possibly with a little bit more fiddling)... So the RB25 is capable of producing the power necessary to run that time.

So if the RB25 is capable of running a 10, why is it "cheating" to use an RB26? It might be easier, but it's not doing anything the RB25 can't do... It's just doing it more easily and probably without all the fuss of building such a tough RB25.

Also, what about all the ECR33s running RB30 conversions? Are they no longer "GTS-ts" in your mind? What are they? VL Commodores?

I gotta agree with tony on this one,

Scenario..

Two 11second passes in two different R32's one with rb26 and the other with standard rb20 the latter I think deserves more Kudos as it is clearly a greater achievement., And i think thats the point tony was trying to make.

But what do i know i've never driven a car down those 400 meters myself. :P

Whether or not it's a greater achievement is very subjective.

I couldn't give a rats ass whether you used a 1.6L carby or a 5.7L Supercharged LS1 with Nitrous... A 10 second pass is a 10 second pass. Who cares what you used to do it. That's completely upto the car's owner, and a very personal choice... I don't think one deserves greater accolade than the other, as it's still an excellent result.

Hehe I'm surprised by the posts here a bit. My point of the thread was:

a) a RWD skyline is in the 10's that has seemingly come from no-where

B) it uses small bolt on turbos

Why can't a GT-R pull a time like that here? Even the Mines R34 with it's uber gear got a similar time. Has anyone seen this car? Is it totally stripped or running A/C and a big stereo while going down the 1/4?

Just curious as to the setup on this car, pretty good number in an RWD that is probably very streetable.

Hi guys, I think your are missing the point, a Skyline pushed the Supra from N1 RWD, I'm cheering!

PS; If I meet the guy, I'll by him a beer (or 2).

I think you're right... I've completely missed any references to a Supra before your post.
