hello guys im new

[gen4_v8]

Hey this is steve

Im a little new to the turbo scene, Ive had my vr clubsport for a few years now but I wanted to upgrade to something that looks abit better, probably a turbo skyline? I understand I am sacraficing power and speed in this descision but the skyline definetley looks better in my opinion.

I cant decide between a 1997 skyline or a 1998 one. I like the new look but it is abit expensive do you think its worth paying extra. do you think it will be able to beat my brothers VT V6 3.8 with extractors and exhaust??? He will never let me forget it if he can beat me in a race. !!

Thanks in advance !!!!!

I used to own a mded Supercharged VT V6 and I don't think you will have much trouble beating a standard V6 without cam or forced induction)

I had a 12 pound pulley and tein 2.5" cat Back...

Although I never did actually race a skyline I would have been able to beat a new integra type R stock except for cat back...

yeh shoalin knows what hes talking about.

he used to own that bogan car then he fell in love with supras now he's on a skyline forum

wtf?

You don't need to beat anyone when you own a Skyline. You are in front just because you own one!

[KamikazeR33]

also owning one with just a few small mods will put u ahead of a 255 ls1 in a race down the 1/4. hell mine when it had just 170rwkws used to chop the crap out of my nans gto 255kw. no suprises there

just dont go dragging anyone on the street

Its funny how many people here came from a commodore background.

I was a Commodore man, at the same stage my mate bought a 150rwkw VR SS. Ive since had a range of imports from GTST to GT-R.

You're not sacrificing power or speed, a GTST will make more power and be much faster due to power to weight, not to mention handle much better etc. A stocker GTST will pretty much dust a 185kw VR Clubsport, you really can't lose when compared to a 3.8L VT.

[KamikazeR33]

oh n just as a side note, my mums mazda6 only lost by a car length over a 1/4 mile against a vs ss

[KamikazeR33]

^^^ what he said....

[gatty]

welcome mate - remember it's not all about speed in a straight line

skylines handle very well too - and look better

[ApleX]

dont forget Drifto

[gen4_v8]

Thanks for your input guys but I have decided to stick with the V8 this time, I guess I will just miss the power and torque too much. Skylines might be a bit girly for me.

[KamikazeR33]

the only girly thing is a v8 .. its like driving a hyundai

Wave goodbye to the nice people :wavey:

[KamikazeR33]

?

[gatty]

you loss

if you consider a car with 700 KW's at the rear wheels a bit girlie - perhaps we're tlaking to michael shcumaker (sp?) ey?

Note: someone i knwo has a r32, rb26dett and a shitload of stuff done - runs 30 PSI - almost 700 rwkw

[Morgs]

Your decision in the end, I'm not going to say you're wrong or anything but you're welcome to come for a cruise anytime
