no, buy MY car stuff!

Not stuff for my car, the stuff I am selling ;)

You need some big ass brakes to slow up that fat 33 with all them v8 torques :)

On that note, I have a question regarding "power and street cars"...

I currently have ~270rwkw (264rwkw through a stalled auto) amd running 235 rear tires with a bit of stretch (they're on a 9" rim) I feel as though the average joe dickhead would crash very quickly if told to get behind the wheel.

But then I see some of you guys running well into the 300rwkw zone and thinking the cars are slugs, I don't understand. Even with my power my car feels very quick and very loose on the street

V8, NA Tourqes. You pull from all the way down in the range, high power FI cars have to be on boost. Makes your car seem faster according to the seat of your pants dyno.

Example, Martins car has similar power to Dylan's SLK55 AMG. I've been in both at full noise. Dylans feels faster, but its actually not.

Hmm I guess, mines pretty doughy off cam ie anything under 4k... Although I spin the sum bitch up 7k now so yeah. But coming onto the highway at from 60 if I tramp first and ratchet second it basically powerskids around the shop easily to 100.

But what im getting at is people around the place claim there bulk hp cars are "streetable" yet I can't see how it's possible... Some insight from a guy/girl with a big powah street car is appreciated

Do I count? I've currently just put my 235's back on the rear of mine and they are 18x9.5. 600hp and driven on the street, it gets a little wild on WOT, but fine if you feather it into boost..

Depends how you define streetable.

People will change how they define it for themselves meaning that people will claim almost anything is streetable. And honestly, its horses for courses anyway, so if they like it props to them.

Dan said to me that 250kw was his ideal for daily driver and anything over 300 was stupid for the street. And he kind of knows how to build a car.

This is kinda the thinking lines I'm along, don't get me wrong is love to have be power I just don't know the practicalities of it

I guess it all depends on the setups, mine is a single plate clutch and is easy to drive on the street and around town

Like sneaky Pete said though. Everyone has there own thoughts of streetable

    • I like the idea of tagging the model, and if GTS-t/GTt or GTR, and then a what, so wiring, engine, suspension.   That way you end up with a matrix, all content R33 GTST, or you can find all content that is wiring related for example.
    • You could probably just go with the genuine Nissan pads, they are not really the expensive, I can't say how they compare to your 350GT pads but at least they will give decent performance. Shims are probably the reason for the squeal.  When I bought my Q50 which runs the same Akebono brakes, the previous owner had some weird pads fitted and it squealed and dusted like crazy, I bought genuine pads and when I put them in, I found all the shims missing.  With the factory pads, the dusting is much better, performance is fine, but it still squeals when cold.  A bit of grease on the back of the pads and mounting points gets rid of it, but it comes back after a while.  I have bought a genuine shim kit that I need to install when I get around to it, hopefully that will fix the squeal.
    • Highlight that row, and a bit of trial and error. Try reducing it by 25% and see if it starts, if not, go the other way. On the newer Kebabtechs that table is in VE which makes it so much easier to calibrate.
    • That's the one I have in my R32. There isn't a bigger battery that will fit an R32.
    • Not sure what you mean haha. That one doesn't fit mine but when I get sick of my one I'll get a standard one. I just gotta find a way to make it fit cause some shit is in the way.
