60km both second. He had proxy 888 265 all way round. I just have more than 1000rpm response than him. His car is actually going for a 10 soon with around 425awkw.

Obviously if he launches it its bye bye for me lol

That's just hyperbole. No traction in 3rd even? C'mon!

my GTST with GT35 will let go in 3rd at anything under 100km/h if i ramp the boost on hard.

i take it you have never been in a 300+kw GTST

Really? Ive got a fair bit of power, not 300, but the only times I can brake traction are between shifts(its not just a chirp, it breaks) and all throughout first gear and 2nd if I don't let it regain traction after the shift. It would be pretty awesome if I could be off throttle in 3rd gear then plant it just to have the wheels spin lol. I NEED MORE POWER. What tires and suspension do you use? My suspension isn't hard and has some squat in it to help give traction and my tires are fat 595's.

Gonna assume that's the make and not the width blink.gif

The main reason why he would lose traction in third is because of the 3540 having more lag and the boost delivery isnt as linear as to probably your turbo and with a 3540 on a rb25 its like all the boost comes on at once and so it goes nuts lol.

I had those 595 that were 265 wide and I'd spin them up easy in second gear with 285 rwkw when running the Gtr in rear wheel drive..

Like stated before it has more to do with the power delivery, I had nismo gt lemans turbos that were plain bearing and would lag then come on hard, where as my mates -9 turbos with 280 rwkw doesn't feel as violent comin onto boost

In the wet I could spin all 4 265 down the highway in second :)

Yeah my dads old 350rwkw GTSt could light up the tyres at 120-130kph if you wanted it to, but wouldn't spin at all when he used proper throttle control not just "mash the go pedal"

Highly untrue. GTR lags like dog balls. Imagine a 10 second Gtr with -5 turbos doing a 60k roll race. Wait I Did this! My r33 gtst 280rwkw vs r32 Gtr 385rwkw. 60k roll. I maxed my speedo b4 he caught up. A 10 sec GTR is nothing without the launch. You GTR fanboys crack me up :P

Get off the crack pipe! How am I a GTR fanboy when I own a fast Gts-t?

I have owned both (fast GTR and fast Gts-t) and I can tell you the only thing that could keep up with the GTR at low speed was other GTR's and maybe from 60km/hr a quick evo could keep up in 2nd, third was game over.

Take your slow Gts-t and go home...

PS. This is from around 60-70km/hr in my old GTR, I bet you can keep up >_<

You said it in one,

A gtr is fast (very fast) and awesome, but there's still times when I would love to have a 300kw gtst for the wheel spinning sideways action. Plus gtst are much cheaper to run and maintain. Before I get fanboyed I built a 300kw gtst from stock and now own a 300kw gtr.

So sinista gtr, how does a 300awkw gtr compare with the slow 300rwkw gtst, i mean at normal road speeds and sensible driving except those rare moments when u just wana zap past for a few seconds or do a spirited stab of the pedal coming onto an empty motorway on-ramp or say 60-120??

Sensible driving, unless you took off like a granny, 1st gear in a high powered gtst is useless as soon as it comes onto boost it's wheel spin and same with second. In the rain.... Omg you have absolutely no chance of getting near boost. The gtst is quick don't get me wrong, but when it comes onto boost say on the on ramp like you said from 60 or 80 you just wait to correct the steering wheel if it completely breaks traction or it's twitchy fighting for grip.

The gtr just has a feeling of immense power and torque and when you get on the go pedal hard or soft there is no worries about grip. You have to look ahead to see how far the car is ahead of you as it just picks up speed über quick.

The gtr is able to use its power on all of its range and gears without issues to be quick, the gtst is fast once you get past the looseness and wheel spin.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
