[SA Cars Spotted Thread 2]

[pixel8r]

ok guys here is article (click) - it is the bottom file - sorry about the size but the scans are huge so you can zoom at will.

I know this isn't really the thread to be discussing this article, but does anyone else find it a bit weird that they claim the GTR with "stock" boost, will climb to 1.3bar (19psi) with just an exhaust and powerfc?! Does the vspec have the same ceramic turbos as the standard GTR? If so, this would be goodbye x 2 for the turbos. Anyone know what stock boost actually is for a GTR34? I always thought it was the same 6-7 psi as non-GTR skylines.

The article isn't really comparing apples to apples either. The STi and Evo are direct competitors. The GTR appeals to a different market than the other two and you will find that people in this different market (most of us) will view the GTR as superior for what they'd want in a car.

Good read however...

yeah mate I agree entirely - it is a lot like how the Aus Delivered 200SX/S15 won the Performance Car of The Year in 2002 - it won on the basis that it was $200k cheaper than the Porsche tested, and availability/price or parts is a fraction of the cost etc etc. Of course it isn't a better car than the Porsche, but on their comparative analysis which includes value for money, it came out on top.

R34 stock @ 1 bar (around 14.7psi)

So Andy mate....... You should be up around the 19psi then!!

I'd flat out believe that, not much to climb when your nearly there!

no worries guys .... thanks really to Pawley (edit: not Paully) since it was out of his mag (I have one somewhere but was easier to grab it out of his collection).

Ohhh, that box of mags. I guess I will need to find a suitable 'space' for it at some stage.
