Oh yeah, no question about that... The 3S-GTE GT-500 car would destroy a V8 Supercar...

But this car isn't one of them. It has more power and less weight than a V8 supercar but I think the V8 would still nail it, just my opinion

Yeh that makes sense :warning: :s So that supra has over 700 hp & the v8 super cars have 550 hp & you think a v8 would NAIL it? The supra is in the 1200 kg bracket, what do the v8 supercars weigh? Im thinkin supra would nail it *just as long as the BIG v8s arnt light :s*

V8 supercars have over 600hp and weigh 1350kg... Imagine the lag of that turbo on a small engine, it would not be great at corner exits even if you kept the engine spinning hard. Also they are fully developed racing cars which is worth a lot...

But it would be an interesting matchup anyway, oh well, we will never get an answer.

Yeh true, when i thought about it there would be a lot of difference in torque through the RPMs. Leave it at that.

That SUPRA was built purly for the top-speed trials a few years back. They use the 3S-GTE because it sits further back in the engine bay for weight distribution and centre of gravity. Also if you are going to compare that to a V8 supercar be realistic. The SUPRA is built for straight line top speend and stability, a V8 supercar is designed for circuit racing. If the SUPRA was set up for circuit racing you would find it would be to close to call.

this car was built for pure top end speed 200mph+, from memory the owner of top secret was fined in the UK for doing over 300km/h on a public road in this car..just some more info.

Looks like the one in the High Octane 2000 DVD.

Check out the "Option Speed Trial" segment.

An identical spec (wide body, Top Secret, gold, 2.2L motor)

was entered in this high speed trial in NZ in 2000.

The original motor was replaced with the short motor for improved circuit racing

handling to bring the center of mass closer to the back of the car.

THe car kept blowing off hoses (too high boost) and did not perform as well as it had in Japan, ie +300kph.

This is quite a good DVD by the way.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
