Since Beer Baron doesn't have either moderation or admin rights perhaps you should find someone else to abuse.

IM PERFECTLY AWARE OF THIS AND WAS NOT ABUSING HIM JUST GIVING HIM CHEEK

HOWEVER I AM INFACT ABUSING THE PERSON THAT HAD THE POWER TO DO THE ABOVE WITHOUT INFORMING ME THAT I WAS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

Thanks nv033

we know that the MINES 32 in Japan has done a 10.60 with 25/30's.

Theo had the Aust record, 10.78 with 25/40's

Some guy in NZ says he has done a 10.2? with low mounts? (but this is only hear say)............so until we are proved incorrect or someone goes quicker......lets say DIRT is the fastest 25/30 :(

So unless anyone can provide any evidence otherwise, TWO06L is the fastest low mount-equipped GTR in the world?

Sweeeeeet. Congrats again. :O

I'm not sure that you're comparing apples to apples, I mean the Jap cars are running Nitto's and probably pump fuel. Then again their tracks are also alot slower than WSID as well.

Having said that, it in no way diminishes the results that Paul & Stacey have got with their car - at the end of the day it's a very quick time for a combination that would perform well day to day or on the circuit :O I think if Cabin/Autosalon are still doing that car of the year with track and drag testing it would kick some serious ass (with a slight change in suspension, tyres, fuel and tune for conditions).

i wouldn't call that spuring people on quite honestly!  And its not the first comment he has made with that theme... and like you can't stand half a logo, i can't stand sexist people!

As i have said previously, no comment was meant to upset anyone, and i did appologise if it had..... unfortuantely the internet doesnt convey how something is intended very well. It was only meant to be a gee up, but if you felt it wasnt i will keep comments like that to myself from now on...

now Merli, pics or ban i say!!!!!

I'm not sure how you can differentiate these things. If they want to run different radials, good luck to them, that is their choice. Pump fuel? That is not a definite and it is also their choice. And how do you quantify that their tracks are slower? None of these things realistically effect the times run in that different people choose different tyres, fuel and suspension. The main comparisons are there for all to see in so much as everything else is on a fairly level playing field.

Also, I recall a certain GTR from Japan a few years back attended a drag meet a Willowbank and couldnt run any better than its best time of 7.67 :(

That's exactly my point - being realistic. Nittos are a slower tire, pump fuel is certainly a different brew from VP gear and WSID is classed as one of the world's quickest tracks due to surface, prep, altitude, gradient and location. The goat tracks that they run on in Japan... is just that. You don't see the Japs providing an alitude corrected time for their runs, which is one of the most blatant aspects of their strip. Even the launch surface of WSID is a calculated affair, there's no way in hell that any such thought went into what looks to be a disused air strip/part time fire trail that they run on in Japan. There was a debacle about the legitimacy of the HKS drag car's best time, since it was done in "private testing"... Oh and wasn't it raining for the majority of time the HKS car was at Willowbank? That footage of Mr. K. doing burnouts in the R33 is pretty cool. Ideal environment for record setting yes?

Heh but I know you already know these things :(

I am not really sure how grouping the 'ladies' together is meant to spur someone on? if you thrown the gauntlet down and challenge me.. fine! but making remakes like that are really unnecessary and can feel demeaning! thats all i'm saying!

    • Ok another question. I have everything back in the car I have a very Uneven part of my driveway and one wheel is nearly touching the ground. Only the one barely hitting the ground is spinning. There are no weird noises when driving. Jacking the car up and turning one wheel, the other does not spin and same if I turn the wheel on the other side. But when I put the car in gear and drive, (in the air) both wheels spin. Is all of this normal?
    • None of the above. G30 660. Call it done. Or, BW EFR, or one of the other similar modern options. In the BWs we're talking EFR 7670 with the twinscroll turbine housing. Sorta good for 650HP at the flywheel, which should be more than enough. Broadly speaking it's equivalent to the G30 660. None of this is cheap like the OP's original options, though. The PSR3576 is also a bit larger than the new power target would suggest using. The ATR43SS3 was always a smaller choice than the PSR. 600 fly vs 750 fly. So they weren't ever comparable options. I would think the ATR43SS2 or 3 would do what is (now) wanted, especially if E85 is the path to making the target. Tao's own recco is for an SS2 on E85 for 340rwkW, which is almost exactly on target. The SS3 would have more headroom, but it really demands a 4" inlet. I would probably try Tao's reccomended turbo at <1/3 the price of the name brand stuff I suggested above.
    • G25/30 Series. Nobody seems to run a BW EFR anymore, and not at a 320kw power level on 95 gas. I did back in the day on a RB28, I don't think anyone ever ran a 7163 on a RB25. That said, a G series is going to be much easier to fit being physically smaller which is more helpful than you might think.  The turbo is the only thing that really adds power to the car. It is the most important of all selections. Do not skimp on it. If it's a budget issue, save longer. The difference between a G series and these other options will be like 5% when all is said and done. What's an extra $1000 now when you look at it through the lens of all the $ already spent to support..... the turbo to do its job well.  I see it in LS worlds too, where they spend $50,000 on the motor to run 2x $300 ebay china turbos on the f**kin thing. With engine consumables, well - they all are. Just less with less power. It's either already rebuilt... .....or it's a 25 year old engine you are wanting to boost to (at least) 200% of stock power. It would be very wise to consider what the plan is, and be ready for it, when something does go south. Don't be that guy with a just completed-now-broken-car because you didn't budget for things to go wrong, which is how a low of projects end up sadly.
    • If you had to pick between Pulsar and Hypergear I would probably go Hypergear.
