N1GTR

Yeah i really felt sorry for him when the commentator mentioned there's virtually no sponsors in that series and the driver would just cop the fee to fix it. DTM is on now - SO GOOD!!!!

There's been some for sale and sold, without wanting to sound rude; How havnt you bought one? Are you trying to get one for a crazy low price or something? They're not expensive to just buy new

First up, speak to SAUQLD club execs and tell them the plan. Then ring AASA (SAUVIC and SAUNSW get along with them very well), explain what you want to do. AASA will ask you for a heap of details, the hardest will be getting them to approve the track. Im going through this right now with AASA and its not as easy as you'd think. My advice is to supply as many photos as possible, show them photos of everything even if you dont think it matters. You will also need to fill out the medical form carefully. Each person there has a dinnerent role (well, duh), but if you end up speaking with Brenda - feel free to mention that you're the Qld version of the NSW Skylines club that Steve's from. Other than that as i said, SAUQLD (as they're CAMS affiliated) would be your first stop

Finke was good, shame about that guys buggy on fire DONT FORGET after the F1 there's more racing, DTM and GT3

Hey guys, Some AWESOME news! Ive worked my magic with our insurance company, long story short the costs for this event have been reduced. What does that mean for you? The Texi entry fee has been changed, by more than HALF! Thats right, HALF! The day now is $40 per driver So you've got to ask yourself; How can you go wrong for $40??? Is your entry form in yet?.........If not - enter, NOW! Form attached and general event thread is linked below Cheers -Steve http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4604816 Texi_29th_Aug_ENTRY_FORM.pdf

Yes please start a thread, ill argue they look MUCH better.

You guessed correct Andrew Basic comparison, carrera4 and a selection of skylines; R33 Gtst: 2498cc twin-cam 24-valve turbo EFI straight six RWD 1370kg 184kW 294Nm 6.21 14.4 5 Spd man/4 Spd auto 2-wishbone f't, multi-link rear vent disc, 4-pot calliper, 1-pot rear, ABS R34 GTR: 2.6 DOHC 24V twin turbo 6cyl 4WD 1540kg 206kW 392Nm 4.9 13.1 6-Spd man ind. multi-link vent disc, 4 pot f't calliper, 2 pot rear, ABS R32 GTR: 2.6 DOHC 24V twin turbo 6cyl 4WD 1480kg 206kW 353Nm 4.7 13 5-Spd man ind. multi-link Vented Discs Porka 4S: 3800cc DOHC 24V 6cyl 4WD 1480kg 283.4kw 420nm 4.7 6spd vent disc, 330mm F + R, ABS, Dry Sump Also the porka has 305/30/19 rear tyres, so its got more footprint over the skylines. And much nicer to be in! There's a suprisingly large amount of 4S's out there, i see more of them than GTR's. God help us if GT3/2's become more common. Check their specs; GT3: 1395kg, Dry Sumped GT1 motor (solid lifters rb26 style), 4.2 to 100kmh, 310kw, 8400rpm, 405nm, 6spd. Yes its NA, the throttle responsiveness is crazy GT2: 1440kg, dry sump, 3.6 to 100kmh, 395kw, 685nm, 6spd, launch control, variable vane turbos (much reduced turbo lag) The stock GT3 makes more power and torque than the stock R34 while remaining lighter with better brakes, dry sumped reliability etc.....and is much nicer to ride in/drive. Of course this changes if the skyline's had 20k thrown at it Anyway, this could go on forever, so ill leave it here.

Around the track most skylines out there will get anally gang raped by a decent porsche. Their rear end grip is just out of this world. While we're all worried about bearings and 10/15/whatever year old datsun parts wearing out and breaking, porka owners just throw on slicks and enjoy their dry sumped engines with nice things like oil coolers etc standard on all good models A carrera4 around town will make the skyline work for it, check their torque figures. A turbo will make GTR's work for it anywhere a GTR is usually quick. A GT3 is just SO much better in almost every aspect than a built GTR (the only place they lose is that sheer "oh gosh darn im going to die" style acceleration with a to4z or similar) A GT3RS will do the same as above, but enjoy non fading carbon brakes and completely adjustable suspension standard, plus they're so visually appealing. A GT2, well, just let it go, skylines really have to be completely built/worked and have a driver who knows what they're doing. Im not saying that it isnt possible for a skyline to be faster than the porka, just that its going to be very costly. GTR owners secret weapon (the 8000rpm clutch dump launch) is almost the only thing we would have against a porka in a situation like this one......but now porsche are introducing launch control. Do a youtube search for gt2 launch, you'll be impressed. Moral is; dont under estimate the porsche brand just cause they put a basic motor in their "mid life crisis" car

17 x 9.5 +18 = perfect on R32 GTR. I used 235/45/17 semi slicks, and the cars quite low. Looked great!

Yeah awesome vid!

It will make no difference, if the rings arent bedded in by now, they wont be in the next 300km...

This thread needs vids (not the snoring one)

Why not go higher CR? I had a motor with that compression, would never do it again

Sold!

A GTR with exhaust, decent clutch and stock turbo's at 1bar will smash a boster s. I know cause my best mate bought a boxster s (997) and he couldnt do anything to even keep up. Boxsters arent bad though if all you do is drive to work and back

How many k's on it now?

As I said to the guy at Top Secret; Id give it a good home, however it seems the plan is to see how long it takes to be completely covered in rust. Which is a shame, but the distinct vibe I got from each place we went is that RB's and 2J's arent worth bothering with now the R35 is out

Would be smarter to list up what cars/where they fit in the thread to save yourself and any buyers the time

Sure you dont mean clutch fan? If you really mean thermo fan try somewhere like tweakit.com for a kit

I regret dropping the price to be honest as it was a bargain at my original price

Turbo NA supra's suck - IMO they're underpowered

486kw or so

Sold pending payment/pickup

Pfffft, a fly would wake him up You have no idea how clean it was

Good write up!
