Well,

I think this is all over nothing as the best time MOTOR magazine achieved for the HSV Clubsport R8 was 5.83sec 0-100 @29degC and 38% humidity.

This was performed in controlled conditions using the most aggressive driving techniques.

This is a long way short of the 5.5sec that Skylinekiller quotes as a "bad day" and as for 4.99 sec, that must of been a downhill run with a 150kmph tail wind.

Skyliner killer lost all credibility with me at that point.

Since those MOTOR boys now what there doing there might be a few more tenths better 5.83 than in cooler weather, so maybe 5.5 seconds on the best day.

Figures are in the latest PCOTY (on the shelves as of Monday) for the world to see.

haha so your agreeing that theres no point in a nissan 2.6L when you can get a mazda 1.3L

one uses a rotary one uses piston.

i can tell with the points you argue with that you have no idea.

so i lower my itelligence to your level and ask you y a holden need 5l compared to a nissan 2.6l

again, apples and oranges

you guys are absolute ****heads... **** off and die you bogan ****s...

seriously.. im sure ur car is nice.. whatever.. i like driving my skyline.. it is a great car

i hope there arnt many skylines owners that come on the LS1 forums and start talking shit

but man unless youve got something interesting to say.. like a conversion project or something just **** off...

i dont mind V8s.. i think supercharged 8s are good and the Lexus v8 range of engines are pretty cool too..

Someone **** this thread off it doesnt fo ANY of us any favors..

Your all wrong, until you have experienced Hemi 245- 2 barrel power, circa 1971 and 165hp, your all denying what real performance is:whackit: Throw it in a beautiful rust brown VF Valiant with a blue boot and your talkign the greatest race car i have ever owned...next to my 2.0L Brown Sigma:)

you were still arguing about his opinion as much as he was arguing about yours, so it makes you just as retarded. **** i laugh at internet fights, especially over cars when each party clearly has there own personal preference. surely you would realise he wont change his liking of v8's as much as you wont change your liking of skylines?

    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay  
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
