I know you're trying to get a rise outta me and it ain't gonna happen today :P

I admit that on any given day, I will drive the car in the most inconspicous way possible coz of the number of canaries which flying round these days.

I'm not one to make a huge scene out there. If you took notice of my car, it's probably only coz it has white Volk Challenge rims on it which contrasts with the purple.

I have been known to open the wastegate once in a while late at night but the fact is that you'll only hear the gate when there is someone out there worth challenging. Petrol is expesive these days and at 22L for the 100kms at normal driving, I don't have a lot of it :P

After the cruise on the 10th, I started with a full tank and after coming back from Arthur's Seat, my tank was less than a quarter.

600 horses? Now that I've sorted my spark problem, get ready for some real hp :P

Besides, INSANT, even when I do drive like a granny, I reckon I could give you a decent run for your money :P

As for being rich.....well that is nothing but perception really. I'm pretty broke now that I've bought a house :P

No rise from you??? why not??? hehehe

U forget i actually drove your car when i was getting the fmic put on :bahaha:

If u change gears at 2000rpm when u race me i will beat u :P

I'll cut you a deal. I'll change gears 2000 rpm before my rev limiter :D

it sounds odd.....it was probably more luck than anything. What kinda power are you making?

I thought the GTR standard was 207 kilowatts from engine right?

which is about 210 rwhp.

with FMIC and a few other little things the gtst would easily be pulling 210 rwhp....

so if on rolling start why do you think the GTR would win? wouldn't it be even? twin or single turbo still same HP from rolling start and close weight between the 2..

Well I'm pretty sure it was a real R33 GTR. It had the wide guards and standard GTR body, even a VSpec sticker on the back too.

Something I didn't mention before was, the GTR had 2 people in it and I was by myself... Still I think a R33 GTR does 0-100 in maybe 5 seconds and a GTS-t is 6 seconds? So from a rolling start they are going to be closer then a standing start. I know from a standing start your not going to go close to a GTR.

Maybe he was mucking with me, but I heard him floor it... I've never been in a GTR before and it was just supprising at the speed difference...

But hey they are both only cars right? Still maybe a GTR when I'm old enough to buy one outright :bahaha:

I thought the GTR standard was 207 kilowatts from engine right?

I read in a mag that the real output for a GTR is at least 230kw cos they were comparing it with a US spec Supra which has 239kw (bigger cams, steel wheel turbos etc....)

I've put quite a few lengths (~5) on an R33 GT-R V Spec (exhaust/filters & boost increase) from a 70km/h roll to the top of 3rd, he went first. The driver of the GT-R & I spoke after the run. He was in the same gear as me & didn't stuff up. It was an honest run. Then again I wasn't exactly stock @ that stage.

Matt was that 215, 235 or 257rwkw@ stage?:)

You said you raced to 160km/hr right?

I'm not saying this cos I have an R but seriously a stock GTR would chomp a light tuned GTST...... forget about the factory released power figures and weight... if all cars could be judged by the statistics explain why Integra Type-R's are so fast around a track with their 'measly' 140 odd kw and their FWD and no brembos in Australia....

anyway it doesn't matter.. what you should do is get a mate with a GTR.... get on a rolling start and see how you go hehe

Ummm.......good question mate? I can't remember if it was the 215 or 235 stage, definitely not 257 as it was a while ago.

Guys,

I don't doubt the GT-R standard power figures are quite a bit higher than quoted (@ least 230+kw) but in all reality it isn't' *that* much grunt considering the weight.

1530kg - R33 non V spec

1540kg - R33 V spec

These figures are dry weight too! Add oils/fuel etc.. & you're up near 1600+kg. Add a driver & that's one heavy car for 230+kw to haul *on a roll*, off the line is a whole other ball game!

R33 GTS25t - 1370kg (5sp) 1390kg (auto) dry weight

My car - 1455kg (over 1/2 tank +10-20kg of stuff in the boot) as weighed on very accurately calibrated weighbridge.

So.........

R33 GTS25t: 1455kg + 80kg driver = 1535kg

R33 GT-R non V spec (lighter): 1530kg + ~50kg fuel, oils etc.. + 80kg driver = 1660kg

1660kg - 1535kg = 125kg & I'd say that would be a conservative estimate.

"Every kg lost is more than a hp gained"

A healthy 180rwkw GTS25t "should" be able to give a *STOCK* R33 GT-R a very good scare *on a roll*.

As an interesting side note Munro on these forums had his R34 V spec weighed not long ago.....1658 kg! Add a driver & that's a porker!!!

*Note* All standard weight figures 100% accurate as per Nissan specs.

Also, both fatz (stock R32 GTR) and I (stock R33 GTS, 9psi boost) found ourselves at the start of the EC straight last time out. Start ~110km/h, finish ~200km/h.

The GTS-T pulled away. Now, I may have started slightly faster thru the corner, but he didn't reel me in...

Seriously, a stock GTR doesn't really put out that much power for its wieght, the great thing about them is how easy they are to improve, not how quick they are stock.

Standing start is a totally different story. Traction always wins...

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
