Power On A Budget

[oweban]

school holidays yo

[Hanaldo]

I knew it was school holidays lol.

Seriously though, what fun do you get out of racing on the street? For all you know, the guy you just 'dragged off' was messing with you and only giving it quarter throttle. There are only increased e-penis gains to be had by street racing. As others have said, take it to the track. Drag strip is great fun and a good way to benchmark your car against others. Circuit is also good fun, trying to beat your times is bloody addictive!

In any case, if you actually get out there and do some of those events, you'll find street racing gets boring very quickly.

Also these days you never know if the person in the done up car your about to race is a cop, there getting around in anything these days...

And I own a commodore along with a few other cars, and I find when I drive the commodore I have more people trying to prove themselves and race me...

But anyway my opinion is with a budget of $1000 wind the boost up to around 14 - 15psi and get the nistune board and a tune... might get ya around 180 at the wheels...

15 psi should lean out your engine and write its death certificate..

R8s are pretty fast in take off with pretty big torque.

For $1000 get:

Get ebay cooler kit: $350

3inch turbo back exhaust: $400

Knock out cat: Free

Pod filter: $50

Run above on 12 psi you should have a pretty good chance of winning.

damn street racers

damn street racers

I've seen the way you drive... you've got a heavy foot.

You'll blow yourself to pieces

[ARTZ]

why not just go to the drags and do it the proper way?

wheres the fun in that, theres no bumps in the road, no power poles to wrap yourself around,no innocent people to run into and absolutely no possible chance of a police chase....Geez just spoil all the fun why dont ya!!

thats why i said get a nistune board and a tune, i'm fairly certain the standard injectors and fuel pump could supply enough fuel for 15psi...

I got a full tank of unleaded.

I think the limit of a totally streetable R33 GTST is actually quite cheaply had these days.... By saying so, I dont think 300rwkw is as street friendly as it could be.

My personal preference which would slaughter a basic LS1 common:

3" TBE

Cheap FMIC

Fuel pump

metal intake

Z32

hiflowed injectors

hypergear highflow OR SS-1 turbo 250rwkw aim (go for the SS-2 if you must have 300kw of lose to nearly nothing power)

Toshi remap or Nistune

shimmed diff, decent rear suspension setup

[ido09s]

I say stop being a blouse and pick something faster to aim for. A stock LS1 is just a boat anchor and i dont know why anyone would want a Skyline being compared with one.

Why not choose a Veyron, or a Koenigsegg CCXR. Surely this sort of performance would be a lot more appealing

I had to laugh at this though..... clearly our laws arent doing enough and obviously do need some reform.... ie school kids should stick to a PS3 and GT5 and most certainly should not be let loose in even a stock Skyline, let alone a modified one.

"I have been on P plates for 3 years now but in less than a month I will graduate to my full license. I know the majority of people on here agree with keeping P platers out of high powered cars is a good idea and I cant say i disagree. But these laws definitley need an overhaul, it is clear that the people who came up with these laws don't know much about cars and as such, shouldn't have been put in charge."

Oh and this is absolute GOLD!!!!!

Say wha?

LS1 is more powerful than a RB25

LS1 is lighter than a RB25

LS1 will fit into more engine bays than a RB25

ujelly?

Why would i be jealous.... your kidding yourself if you think i am mate lol

[GTScotT]

I hear there is a new death technology that targets street racers on internet forums.. Its out there.. Monitoring your every post....

[ARTZ]

Its true, you can find anything on the internet these days, anything about anyone! So why lie? Mr Brian Earl Spilner

nistune

fuel pump

injectors

afm

250-300kw high flowed turbo (choose your power level, they will all cost the same)

clutch

tyres

tune

intercooler

prob set you back $5k and will make an excellent street car.

or just get the tyres and nistune and settle for 200kw, this will set you back maybe $1.5k if you get proper tyres, anything over 200kw to 300kw will cost the same as you need all the same supporting mods.

Why would i be jealous....

Because they are better...

[GODZILLA-GTR]

Wasteland bound.. Get a boost tee, wind it right open, drop the clutch on the limiter. race over
