Hey krzysiu, how do u think ur car would compare against a R33 GTR, since ur car has 250kw woud it be able to keep up, or maybe even come out in front.

:D

I have beaten a gt-r, but of course it led at the start (4WD) but i did pull in front. The thing is i know it was a stock gt-r cuz there is no way my car would beat a modded gt-r, ever lol. Cuz in the end of the day a GT-R is a GT-R

And the thing is we stopped at the speed limit (80Km/h) because i dont want a fine or a tree rammed up my arse...

Hey, I never said I bet any HSV's. I said I bet an SS, which is not a HSV. I don't really know much about Holdens, but I'm guessing the GENIII in the SS would be in a light state of tune compared to the HSV's.

For the record, I didn't beat the SS by much, just a bit more than a car length, but a win is still a win. It seems most (not all!) of the Commo drivers can't launch thier car well, but I guess that's where the weight differernce between the two cars come into play.

I know at the moment I would get whooped by a Clubsport or other new HSV, but meh, I'm not afraid to lose...

Ive a very lightly modded auto R32 GTSt (pod/exhaust/advanced timing/10psi), and have raced older 195kw and 225kw Commodores (The 225kw was an older model GTS with a few mods, dont know what actual power it was producing).

The SS (195kw) I out launched and just kept pulling away from, the GTS was alot more even, we raced 6 times in a row and I won 4 times (as in a bonnet length or more over him) up to 120km/hr before we backed off.

I also have a friend with a VXII Clubsport manual (255kw std, dynoed with filter/exhaust etc as 250rwkw), and upto 100km we are even or I am slightly ahead due to better launches, but after that he stomps all over me...

So I definately dont underestimate them, but would be interested to see his car versus a 25t with filter and exhaust from a rolling start, alot more even I would think.

In comparison I have raced 5-6 R33 Series 1s and 2s and never been beaten upto 100km/hr, but being auto I do have a pretty simple launch method that works quite well... Although I am on R33 rims with cruddy 205s :wassup:

I've raced 2 HSV's (the newer models).... both never got past the 60ft line before breaking something :D (yes it was legal drag racing at WSID).

so if anyone asks you can say i have beaten hsv's by close to 1000ft before i backed off... :headspin:

That would be a gt-r right? As Sub 5seconds is late model evo territory.

Having a shitload of power can be pretty useless if your racing on a track. Like Keichi Tsuchia says, it's all about balance. After watching some best motoring video where a 911 Turbo, 360 modena, R34 GTR, Evo, NSX and Corvette C5R duke it out on a track I wondered how a Holden or Ford would go against those beasts.....I doubt it would beat the Ferrari which came in last place even with a good driver :Bang:

Exactly.

Some people forget that Japanese performance cars are not about absolute power. While Ford and Holden fans seem to care about little else.

Japanese performance cars (i.e. Skylines) have the following strengths (kick me if I leave anything out):

Styling

Weight balance

Handling

Engineering

Well-performing engines

Nissan chose to make an RB26DETT. They could so easily have redesigned the engine to be an RB44DETT (or similar) to make pure power by just upping the displacement, but they chose not to.

well over $35K still for a 1999 HSV judging from autotrader.com.au.

Can import a 1990 R32 GTR for 18K - 19K or 26K for a very modded one, drop in another 10K in also doing the suspension.

Will i still need to drag a HSV to prove a point?

We got some pretty wild GTRS here in perth and i haven't heard any of them have problems with any model HSV.

Actually you'd be suprised.. the sr20det puts out about 150-160kw at the fly.. so I'm assuming hypnotik's talking rwkw, or doesnt actually know how much his s13 puts out.. (i'm assuming its an sr20det, if its a ca18det, then yes he probably is dreaming...)

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
