just thought i'd share my underpants changing experiences with ya guys :)

in the last 2 weeks, i've been lucky enough to be in the presence of 2 R32 GTR's, a BMW E46 M3, and a BMW M5.

I guy i met on the forum came round to pick a CD up from my house last week, white R32 GTR. I've never actually been that close to one, i've only ever seen them driving on the road for a couple of seconds. Man, that car is really something right up close, damn it demands respect!!

While I was at Hampton BP, a Black R32 GTR pulls in (complete with hot chick in passenger seat :) ) I think you know what i was looking at more!! :D

Tonight, an awesome red M3 launches, and i mean LAUNCHES from the other side of the lights, passed me. That thing was singing like you wouldn't believe!!! I saw it on the other side of the lights and wound my window down all the way, hoping that the guy wasn't some rich old guy who couldn't drive. I was lucky, they guy took off big time and i've always heard about how u are hard pressed to find a better sounding car than the new M3, now i know why. It was incredible!!!! Then about 5 mins later a black M5 turns into the road i was on and blasts up the street.

Needless to say, i was quite delirous by the time i got home. Thank you bayside for thy bounty of awesome cars to cast thy eyes upon. :)

Dunno...whats the kw rating of an M3 these days?? Actually, off to bmw site...here we go...

M3: 252kw @ 7900rpm (that is high!).. weight is 1525kg

When i pick up my skyline (177rwkw or around 230kw flywheel) I look foward to testing this. It would be a close one I think. When I chuck the Greddy B it should be easy.

Now next:

M5: 294kw @ 6600rpm... weight is up to 1790kg..

Ok, well that is pushing things...although there are plenty of skylines in this forum that would probably kick it to the kurb. You'd probably want 240kw or so to be comfortable... that extra 400kg or so in the M5 would really bring it down

Yes, well with a 2L GTS I'd be racing you in my old R31 :-)

Oh yeah, forgot these ones...0-100 times are similar between M3 and M5 actually..with M5 slower believe it or not.

Acceleration 0-100 km/h

M3: 5.2 sec

M5: 5.3 sec

Standard RB25DET is 6sec... so with a bit of work, yeah, I'd be putting my money on the skyline.

Of course this is stats only :D

Obviously the 'line will rip an M3/5 to bits with a bit of work.... But for a NA 3.2 litre engine to produce 252kw is nothing short of amazing!

Its prolly the build quality that would own me. A black M3 with matching black leather interior, electric everthing.... EVERYTHING, a "standard" stereo that would put most maccas hangers to shame, 19 inch wheels (again "standard"), and the list goes on....

God I want one!!:uh-huh:

the 0 -100 times for the M3, M5 are very often misquoted. The 5.3 and 5.2 are used alot. But on "Top Gear" and independant timing found 3 sites, with 0 - 100 and 400m times. The M3 was 4.8 0 -100 across the 3 sites also on the "Top Gear" show. The M5 being a flat 5 seconds.

So 4.8 seconds is ur target for Skyline to beat an M3.

It is amazing that a 3.2 Ltr Straight Six can make 252kw, BMW just knows how to make a straight six, simply awesome engines. Put it this way:

3.2 Ltr Straight Six = 252 kw

5.7 Ltr V8 = 226 kw..... :confused: ....

well i think we can all quess how made that waste of space V8 ;):D

I have driven many M3's and two M5's and I can assure you they go hard. They are a very impressive car. One of a few cars that you can hop into and drive fast straight off. Very well balanced. I would think that my GTR would kick them but they are still very impressive cars.

I saw a white 32 gtr in Brighton Saturday week ago along beach road about 9-9.30 when I was driving mine. Wonder if it is the same car.

Mick.

I am sure they are very nice cars... different class of vehicle, more luxury sport. Probably much smoother power as well.

Although for $141,000 for the M3, and $195,000 for the M5 I can't imagine too many people rushing to trade in their skyline to buy one :D

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
