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

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 ...

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.

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...............!!

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
