Why did i get chopped by a fto!!!???

[NA_R33]

............Bollox. Really don't wanna argue but logic says that someone who is interested in drag racing but can only afford a $5000 IS going to get chopped by someone who is interested in drag racing who pours $100 g's into a car. All other factors being equal.  Nothing means 0 and it is not 0.

Haha, yeah i dont want to get into an argument either mate. And i have to agree to disagree, u are quite correct though im merely outlining the fact that there are different ways to go about things and spending a heap of cash is not one of them. Tell me the cheapest way to get an NA 33 into the 12 second bracket, and ill tell u i did it with less than 6g's Read my thread "Time for NA power..." although most people said it couldnt be done i did and it now has been, if i invested more time into the project with relatively few more mods this car would run into the low 12's possibly high elevens though circumstances lead to me loosing interest in the project and the beast is now for sale. The new project is already a dead paper weight in the garage, 33 vspec, with blown turbos and alot of legal concerns need to be sorted regarding my warranty on the vehicle and repairs before any development can go ahead but this car will run 10's or relatively close with about the same amount of money o have spent on my previous project. Stay tuned.

you guys should try your luck with one of my mates who runs a EVO 4WD drivetrain setup in his FTO with the VR4 engine custom built for track racing and pimping tho, not for drags.

[LBR33]

The FTO's are 1190kg's make 150kw & 200nm of torque.

and approx (don't quote) mid 7's to 100km/h and lowish to mid 15 sec 1/4's.

Actually GR FTO's are 125kw and mivec GPX are 145kw.

Interesting Fact : Did you know Mitsubishi made a 4 cyl FTO but i dont think anyone bought it.

front wheel drive + sports car = :bs!:

[funkymonkey]

isn't the mitsy eclipse a FWD as well?

[Viscount]

and to the first comment, cruising around in an n/a r33 with your sister racing fto's.. thats shame right there.

hahahhaa!

[Guilty]

if it was ' a bee's dick' then i wouldn't call it chopped.

Quoting Vin diesal in Fast n Furious " It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning"

and as much as i hate the FTO, i do admit it is fast compared to other NA cars and have heard some stories of a done up FTO choppin a few type Rs n shyt...at the end of the day, and FTO is n FTO and its a box....

the eclipse came out in fwd and awd with the 4g63 turbo motor which is used in the vr4 and evo for the us market and they only stop making them about 4yrs ago with awd

[TurboX]

isn't the mitsy eclipse a FWD as well?

It is - at least the only one in Australia is. -Owned by a US Pilot that come over here to fly for Ansett after the pilots strike. Bob Hawke himself approved the importation of the car and subsequent use on Aust. roads WITHOUT CURRENT REGO! -Just some special paperwork. Met the owner at an Ansett BBQ who told me all about it many years ago.

AWD is available in the US and kicks most nissan and other :Oops: butt.

Hey, I own a Starion as well.

Man i don't know why all your N/a are so slow.

ive got a 1994 GTS25 5 speed, all that i have done to it is K&N filter, when i got it, it had a exhaust and thats all that i know of. no extractors. its got 4ws and a LSD.

and i am yet to loose a race to a V6 commodore or falcon.

ive raced 3 r32 GTS-t got to about 120km/h and i was 1 1/2 car lenghts in front of them.

raced a 5L VN Calais with extractors and exhaust and left him about 1 car lenght behind me as soon as i got out of second.

ive raced a BA XR6 N/A same as above.

on a cold day me car does 0-100km/h in anywhere form 6.5- 6.9 seconds. thats if i change gears on time.

[Evo_Lee]

this is FF

and this came in both FF or 4WD

now what's more interesting is how some of you still think street racing is not dangerous :confused:

[Greg]

nice work. ever dynoed your car?

[kaz141]

no i haven't yet.. but i was thinking of taking it up to hills to get it done.

just to see what sort of power figures it does.

i don't know what it has done to the motor.

but it dosen't souund as slow as all these other N/A.

[Ryan D]

Meh, The R33 GTS's are nice cars, if you got chopped by a GTO, goodluck to the GTO, you might chop his ass next time on a better day, Theres no reason you couldnt.

Couple of minor mods should do the trick.

i have a bit of fun beating commodores and falcons and whatever else off the line and then just sit on the speed limit, they get pretty damn cut and then take off (and sometimes loose it on the straight, lol).

[dineth]

hmmm does anyone know if Type R integras pull hard? my mate said he nearly got done by one and he has a R33 gts-t. The integra was the new model one. (with the copy cat skyline lights at the back)

[paully_tee]

yeah mate. quite a powerful naturally aspirated engine is the typeR. doesnt weigh much neither. my mate just bought one, quick off the mark. we maxed out at 240km/h before it started to feel dodgy. but seriously....fwd??? bs.

[iissavi]

Man i just got a R33 GTS-T mspec and im learning how to drive manual

the only thing i have chopped is a Mitsubishi Colt and it was keeping up with me

LOL

[siksII]

that sounds more realistic

[Cubes]

You definately need a little more skill to drive these turbo skylines compared to say a pftt.. V8 Commodore.. hahaha

Brainless just put your foot down those commo's/fords.. heheh

A Skyline is a drivers car..

A Commodore/ford is a cruiser car.
