Ive searched and could not come up with any answers.

To cut a long story short speaking to a guy on another forum and he reckons that his vl running standard boost will beat most skylines??? is this true? i dont see how, with a vlt being 150kw standard and skyline being 187kw standard?

what is the deal?

Thanks,

Paradizzle.

Sorry if this has already been discussed.

Exactaly he is denial, and then some other fu*kwit comes into the argument and says his N/A keeps up with them. F*k some people are annoying.

LOL!

The r33 GTS turbo does 6.2, 0-100, 14.2 sec. quarters.

It would not take much to get a VL Turbo to smoke your average 33 in a straight line.

yeh ive own a vlt with high mount to4b,manual,forged motoe and shit,still running standard comp but will go very hard once run in.but anyway b4 it had all that it would never have beat a r33gtst as mates old one was faster for sure

i dont think its possible bcoz stock VLT does 15s. Maybe stock boost on modded VLTs?! My Vl makes 180rwkw-7psi - 245-14psi. Or stocky VLts with FMIC & 3"Exhaust+14psi, will do 13s with auto. that would keep up with lightly moded skyline

What exactly is the point of these XXX vs YYY threads? If you are asking what would run what stock for stock then sure but as people start bringing modifications into it the thread quickly turns to crap...

exactly. and even if you are asking stock vs stock, it wouldnt take long on the net to find out the stock factory performance figures for any pair of cars.

Sure vlts are potentially very quick, but as said once you bring mods in any POS can run 10's!

lets not get into POS's.

One final word from me...

The VL has absolutely hopeless torsional rigidity and very poorly sorted handling.

It is scary to drive as a stock N/A. Sad fact is that a VN is worse! Unless you dump money into a VL along with engine mods it's gonna be a shocker.

The R33 on the other hand has excellent body integrity - you can see with that huge box section between the back seat and the boot firewall.

Handling as bad as it is stock, is something that even modern Commodores are not really comparable.

Get it right Pete. With stock turbo running 3 bar boost mateeeeeeeeeeeee.

heheh Don't forget the stock injectors.

With regards to its regidity, I've had a VL in the past and it was stiffer than the VS I owned.

The pic I've attached.. What chassis rails. :)

The VL's are a nice car though, excellent for their time and long after.

Drop a FMIC a bit of boost in to them and they are up around the 180rwkw easily. They weigh in at around 1400kg's so very similiar to that of the R33 GTST.

Totally stock vs totally stock i'd give it to the 25GTS-T

Although neither are particularly fast in standard form.

Dont however under estimate the potential of the humble single cam RB30ET.

I got my old R31 to 340+rwHP a lot cheaper than I am atm with my RB26 ;)

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
