The colt for sure. Think about it, it's lightweight and it has a turbo. The skyline is a whale and it has a turbo as well, so it comes down to weight.

If you wanna win, get rid of anything unnecessary for the car to actually run.

Stereo equipment

passenger seat

Rear seats

bonnet

front bar

rear bar

skirts

wing

Aircon

radiator (if the race is over a short distance and the car isn't running for more than a few minutes it's not really essential)

Consider even removing small things like the fuel filter, it all adds up

Get a hole saw and make numerous glory holes throughout the car. You'll need the airflow without your aircon and you'd be very surprised how much weight can be saved by shedding a bit of metal that is only there for structural integrity. Speed is more important.

Now, just before the race, open up the colt owners hatch and fill it with as much shit that you removed from your car as you can without him noticing. Be smart about it, don't stick shit on the passenger seat where he's likely to look. In the boot and the back will be good.

Always try to maximise your advantage by taking off before the lights turn green. There are a few reasons for this:

1. That split second of time that you gain by taking off before the light is green could turn into a car length before the next set of lights.

2. If you come close to hitting a car coming through the intersection, you may be fortunate enough to startle the colt driver and he will bodge his take off.

3. Everyone knows that if you go for it on green, you'll hit a truck reversing out of a driveway just beyond the finish line. If you leave the line a little early, your opponent will hit the truck, making his loss even more devestating. Not only did he lose to a shitbox, but he wrecked his car in the process.

There you have it, it is really that simple.

Unless the colt was doing everything right and the skyline everything wrong, money's on the RB.

Does come down to driver at the end of the day.

only way to find out is try...

i dont know how much power they make but you might get a nasty surprise... my b16 civic with intake headers and exhaust (untuned) made 100kw at the front wheels and weighed 960kgs with me and full tank of fuel in it I Beat my mates r32 gtst, he had 3" exhaust, front mount, more boost, i think a little high flowed 20 turbo, it was tuned and making 190kw at the rears and i beat him by half a car in a straight line.

If you guys want tips for anything else or want me to give you the low down on any other car comparison, don't hesitate to give me a shout.

You'd be surprised at how much of an edge I can give you over your opponent. You'd be shocked to know that a ford courier actually has more potential than a Gallardo, but it's true and I can tell you how.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
