just before I sold my 33gtr I had a run with a 6l ls2 off the lights and I had him by several car lengths (4-5) towards the top of third. off a rolling start it was close, i was only walking away from him. my car at the time was stock except had boost restrictor removed and it had run 12.8 at calder.

So I think out on the streets if a stock gtr launches it will beat a stock LS2 comfortably, and should be line ball with a 185-200rwkw gtst.

A mates mate the other day had a SS with some work done to it and was paying out jap cars etc.. i turned around and said whenever you want to line up let me know, he knew i'd kill him, so turned around and said 'sure lets see how youd go towing 2 tonne trailor and 5 people' my comment was 'are we racing or are we taking the kids and caravan on a holiday'

tell him that the old magna-doodle won wheels towing car of the year last year ...that will fix him up :D

Here's a in car footage of my car doing a 0-100km/h sprint.

Shit that launches good!!

I seen a big sign on the motorway the other day advertising the 6 Litre. I was like "wtf that's more than 2x RB25 engines, where am I gonna put the 2nd 1" haha.

Can't beat the V8 rumble. I much prefer it to a spooling turbo. Also can't help to think you could shift quicker between 1st to 2nd??

GTRs would cream you.

Until on the 10th run the GTR's stock clutch drops its guts and you cruise off!!

But then - a nice big twin or triple plate clutch goes in + a massive weight reduction from the drivers hip pocket and it is back in business.

sorry to tell you dude but if you were in sydney and pulled up next to me on the lights i would bring your 297kw machine to shame, unfortunatly i love the 6l commo's and am considering buying one so lets decide now never to race off the rights so i dont change my mind in buying one.

I concede that a stock GTR be it r32,33, or 34 will have me in a drag. The only way I would win is if the other driver didn't know how to drive well or if he bought a lemon which was not tuned well. I'm sure there must be a few out there that aren't what they used to be.

As for the GTST's, from what you guys have told me a good match would be one that is modded with more than 185rwkw.

4-5 car lengths up to 3rd gear is pretty huge. I would believe that there would only be 1 or 2 car lengths within it. How do you know he didn't brake as the speeds were getting ridiculous and that he admitted defeat after seeing that you were already ahead?

To show you what I mean. Here is a clip of a LS2 taking on a modded twin turbo supra. The supra was about 1/2-1 car length ahead at the 150km/h or so before the ls2 stopped. Supra kept going and when he hit the brakes, was about 6 car lengths in front.

The GTR probably does 0-100 in around 4 flat... so over 1sec quicker than your car...

at 100ks/h how many car lengths is in 1 second? :P

100 km/h = 27.7777778 meters / second

But top of 3rd in a GTR is around 180.

I didn't release a stock GTR runs 4 second flat 0-100km/h even with the restrictor off. I thought that it would be more like high 4's.

MarchGTR may of beaten the LS2 by that many car lengths to that speed as he said. No offence intended.

My question is when someone says they beat a car by a certain number of car lengths it's accuracy can be questionable because it's difficult to determine when the other party has actually hit the brakes.

Yeah maybe it was auto Pus. I dont' know much about twin turbo supras.

Mate of mine has a manual supra 6sp man aftermarket cooler and exhaust running 12psi of boost. Raced it expecting to get flogged but it turned out to be quiet the opposite on both rolling and standard starts I was very surprised the skyline just kept pulling away but I then again they do weight even more than a GTR.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
