i assume we are talking gtst?? stock for stock, needless to say the monaro would win... however if you had 200rwkw+ id suggest it would would be very close.

The new monaros have 260kW i think and prolly weigh around 1600kg, so a 200rwkw line should be able to keep up only weighing around 1400kg and having approx the same power.

Im sure people have first hand accounts though.

cat back exhaust? stuff that, mate go to a real muffler shop and get a 3" straight through w/ dump pipe from the turbo to the tip. Then go to a radiator place and get a front mount intercooler. If you want more power get a greddy emanage or any kind of fuel mixture controller, then take it to a reputable dyno workshop and come back and show us what kind of power your putting out :rofl:

The Monaro is a lot heavier than your skyline so I would agree that you dont need to do much more than 200rwkw's to beat him. But with the main basics covered and dial up some boost to maybe 16psi I think you will suprise him :D

But if this sounds great to you, I'll tell you right now if you are saying money is not a problem and you would do those things, it might be a good time to sell your GTS-t and upgrade to a GTR. That would be a great time to flex some jap muscle back at his v8 :)

thanks for the reply......next important question is.....WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THAT SORT OF KW....money isnt a problem.

alll i have so far, cat back exhuast, pod, HKS bov, boost controller on 12psi.

I think it would be very close already. Are they both manual?

your car weighs 1390 probly 210-220 kw at the flywheel with the mods you have

His car 1690 (300 kg's heavier). If you do the maths the power to weight is very similiar.

Yes, the Monaro is fast. But so what? It can't get any faster! You can double its power output, and still beat it through the corners. Plus, in 10 years time, your car will still be running great while his is blowing smoke because your car has superior Japanese engineering.

Don't let him bait you.

standard the monaros are pretty slow, a mate in his gtst running around 160-180rwkw used to kill them... its got a lot to do with the driver, if your driving a manual you'll need a good launch, if his is auto, he could drag you while eating a big mac.

The skylines still a superior peice of technology.

Well last year we raced the guys in the HSV Club at Philip Island and pretty well cleaned them up. They are nice piece of car if big and lardy with a bit of stonk is your thing, but they suck on the racetrack.

One that I was dicing with was about a second a lap quicker on semi-comps with a fair bit of money spent on the engine and suspension while I had tired old stock suspension and standard road rubber. I had 220rwkw and he was just pulling away on the main straight so a bit of go in the old boat anchor, but I was seriously giving him something to think about on the corners until my tyres started going off due to too much heat. I came in about 5th in my class of modified but Frank and Snowman demolished their HSV barges in the GTR's.

Horses for courses mate but from someone who has spent only a little bit of time in a V8SC pit crew there is nothing similar between the racecar and the road car, so he gets no cred from that.

Consider: they need TWICE the engine capacity you have, and TWO extra cylinders, yet they still only have a bee's dick more power. Go figure!

I have to laugh every time I see one of those with 185i (at the flywheel) on the bum. I just have to wonder - where did the rest of them go? I've got that many at FOUR WHEELS!

guy at work has new monaro....those 5.7 v8 tanks......

how fast are they really.....he's shooting off his mouth saying skylines are pieces of shit and all jap cars are old shiz boxes.....

any1 know how good they go or have raced 1????? :flamed:

What you do is race him, and if he beats you by only a small margin (most likely, anyway), then you say to him "Hey, you only beat me by that much, yet your car is new and mine was made back in (insert year of manufacture here)!!! Yeah, it's Japanese, and yeah it's old, but your car is NEW and you only just beat me..."

Also:

Consider: they need TWICE the engine capacity you have, and TWO extra cylinders, yet they still only have a bee's dick more power. Go figure!

Even better if you beat him.

Hahaha. That's Gold. Gotta agree that it really is a joke. They don't deserve any respect in my opinion.

My missus reckons that she makes their owners cry at the traffic lights around town.

I got a R32 GTR running 1.1 bar. Has a fair bit of work done. Came across a sleeper Holden VS 5.7L, with substantian work done to exhaust, cams etc. I had Three people in my car total, he Only one. Have to give him some respect, he had some balls.

In Syd when coming off the syd harbour bridge going to carl expressway, as he did that left hand bend off the bridge onto carl express, he kicked out the rear throughout the corner. I did the same but with 4 wheel drift, which caught him in no time. But then he pulled hard on the straight, while i got out of 2nd and into third (loosing boost). Obviously i beat him in the end, but he had some power 0-100,,,,,,,,, Then my boost kicked in....... cya!!!!!!!!! 3 gear EAT GTR BABY,,,,MWAH,,,,!!!!

Not to sound opiniated here but i dont think u can really compared engines to engines, esp when urs relies on forced induction to make power. Whats going to happen when u turbocharge a 5.7 v8? It'll prob make enough power to tow your house down.

Not to take sides here, but its really comparing apples and oranges....so why compare? There are pple who like the rumble and torque of a v8, and pple who like the rush of boost and agility of a lightweight engine.

      So you can then buy a more expensive, less reliable, more boring and slower replacement that's harder to work on and you have no knowledge of?

      Will take much better photos when the time comes, I still want to do a sub 1m50s on street tyres at SMSP (just because). Then will slap on proper tyres and see if the car can get down to 1m40~45s range. If it goes sun 1m40s without aero, then wow.. but I don't expect the shit box to go that fast.

      I have the OS Giken R3C with the GM 26 spline input shaft in my 32(Rb32 with only around 750hp atw) and its a pig to drive. Its actually very forgiving when its cold when when its warmed up, it chirps the tires even when trying to take off slowly. Mind you though, part of this has to do with my clutch master(Non-OEM) so the travel on the rod is shorter. How did you get 1130hp at 85% @e50?! Are you running a stroker? If so, I would recommend the R3C purely because it handles the abuse.

      First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day).  It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team:  Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
