Munched my First Clubsport


Recommended Posts

VT Clubsports are hard to pick because they came with two types of engines.

VT Series 1 - HEC 5.0L V8 with 195kw: 15 second car :lol:

VT Series 2 - Gen3 5.7L V8 with 250kw: Low 14 high 13 second car

The only visual differece is the badges and the VT1 has orange indicators the VT2 has clear (although alot of VT1 owners retrofit the badges and indicators from series 2 so people think they have a Gen 3!). Still most moded Skylines should beat any stock Clubsport, they are a very heavy car. With a few decent bolt ons you can get them running low 13s, with head and cam work mid to low 12s are achieveable. Not to bad but probably still get munched by a modded GTR any day of the week.

They're probably trying to beat the next set of lights so they don't have to look at you :P

Don't you normally show you've won by taking their lane? (and of course, indicating)

Yeah but then you could argue the age old point ..... when does a drag end ... speed limit? till the road runs out? till your car doesnt go any faster?

Thanks Whatsisname :P

This is a pretty cool forum, I used to post on what I think was the old forum to this one? It was a NZ based forum with a regional section for Aus. Look foward to keeping up with Skyline news! I know plenty of people with them and think they are awesome cars! If I hadnt have bought a brand new car I would be driving an R33 right now!

Cheers :D

it ends when the person in front decides not to go any faster and cant be bothered with it anymore!:(

I munched a Ford Falcon GT (no idea what model but it was very nicely worked looking at a website it looks like an XY).

Cruising on the Hume Hwy back from the summernats just casually sitting on 100km/h with traffic infront and behind.

Falcon cruises up beside, windows down 4 x 25yr oldish guys all looking at me and talking amongst themselves. I've got my windows up a/c on 20c and sitting low just relaxing because of the 2.5hr drive.

The drive gave afew revs at me and i looked over and just gave a smile then continue driving for about 10sec, then they gave another rev (still at 100km/h). I thought ok only way to shut up this guy is to give him a run so i sneakily leaned over and thru it back in 4th (still on stock boost) and then just flatted it. He launched with me and i pulled approx 2 car lengths on him by the time i hit the speed limiter. I merged over infront of him to overtake other cars while backing off. By the time i slowed back down to approx 130km i noticed a cop reversing into position in the middle island part getting ready to setup.

I thanked my lucky stars (with a grin on my face) and the Falcon GT guys left me alone for the remaining 1hr highway journey.

I'm guessing you're a fellow LS1.com.au member?

The way I see it the race is over once you reach the next red lights if they arent to far away....or if you are clearly the faster car and can't be bothered proving it anymore so u just put on ur hazards to "tease" the other bloke a bit...Also when u go to the street runs i've notcied they mainly put on the hazards when its a tight race because all of the crowd is down on the other end of the quarter mile!!! If you win by heaps its not really needed unless u wanna tease the loser!!

when ur at the end of 2nd and the other car isnt gaining on you, then the race is over...if both cars are neck to neck..then 3rd gear would put u at 400m...basically u'll know when u've won or lost :D

yeah i agree ... i always never fully floor it unless i have to, cause u know the feel of your car and u know what it can do ... for me i will only speed up far enough so i know if i've won or lost ... which is usually by 3rd gear ... but usually i wouldn't go past 80kmph ... cause it starts to get really dangerous and i already know who's won or lost ...

Yep I recall seeing you name around a few forums, what is done to you skyline? Are you the guy with 300rwkw!?

Cheers

My car has all the usual bolt-on mods including a bigger turbo, but not enough for 300rwkw! I'll get there eventually though. See my sig'. There's a few GTS25t's owners here with 300+rwkw.

I had some pecker in a silver Rex cruising beside me on liverpool road a couple of months back doing the zoooom psssh zoooom pssh thing with his BOV. He issued the challenge at the lights just before the freeway (I was going back to Canberra)....so what could I do ?????....He lost !.....Go the Skyline's !!!!

Had a run with a 911 Carrera couple of weeks ago.

We had just left Sandown after a Porsche Club track day when this 911 came rushing up behind me and started doing the whole tyre warming exercise to tell me I was going to slow. We came out onto Springvale Rd and they blasted past me making some comment on Jap cars (didn't catch it all).

So that was it, I tucked in behind and followed them onto the merging lane onto Princes Hwy. I was right on him so he knew, and once he saw the traffic was clear, he was off in a cloud of smoke, as was I. I chased him to 90 where I pulled to the right lane and slowly passed him (at full noise). By 190, Mr Sky was a good 3 car lengths ahead. I backed off and they went shooting past.

We caught up at the next set of lights and I wound the window to say g'day but niether the driver nor his mate would even give me a look. My wife hates me doing that and I generally don't, but she loved outsprinting a porsche. As long as I never do it again.

Skyline...............!!

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
