gen4_v8 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 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 !!!!!

Steve 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...

Bonkers Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 do you think it will be able to beat my brothers VT V6 3.8 with extractors and exhaust??? You don't need to beat anyone when you own a Skyline. You are in front just because you own one!

Morgs Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 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.

gen4_v8 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61680-hello-guys-im-new/#findComment-1165035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
