Hey guys, just wanted to say hi and whats up. I'm from the US and have been looking for a good skyline forum for a while now since there is such a lack of reliable information floating arround in the states. The R34 GTR has been sort of my dream car for the past few years but since theyre about $90,000 USD in America... well doesnt seem like i'll be getting one anytime soon. I own a 93 Honda Prelude which is the main car I drive, I also have an AE86 which isnt running right now, and an 87 Accord. Next car i plan to buy is either a Supra, RX-7, or i'm even contemplating a 240 with the sr20det swap.

Anyway, off the bat i was wondering if there is anywhere i should start reading on this site, or do you guys mind if i ask questions that have already been covered? I am interested in quartermile times for each model, maybe some real dyno numbers. In one of the US mags, APEXi claims that their stock R33 ran a 12.3 in the quartermile and I just find that hard to believe. Which models are the fastest? How much horsepower do they really have?

Well I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time reading all the threads here, so I should find most of my answers.

Thanks

G'day wutangben,

Welcome to the forums.

If you would like to find out info about the more covered topics, you can use the search function link near the top of the page. You can use keywords or phrases and even choose which part of the forum you want to search.

This is really helpful for topics which are covered constantly such as specs, 1/4 mile times, various mods and dyno figures.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.

The R34 does 12.8 1/4 times.

With a tuned PowerFC low 12 sec times are certainly possible.

The power gains with an FC are apparent on a dyno.
