I own a r34 gtt, awsome car, great power (208kw engine)(just a cat bak exhaust).

Few months earlier i raced a WRX(Stok AS a rock, no exhaust) in same year model (03-05), from rolling point i took him slowly but from take off the rex got at least 5 car lengths and we were slowly catching.

So i figured an STI would smoke me in a drag.

So tonight there was the STi(stok as rok aswell), 4 people in the car, in the skyline my cuz n me. We were teasing each other for a while until we came to a dead straight, nothing around.

so from 60 kmh both cars in 2nd and i was slowly leaving it, the front of his car ws about the bak whels of my car, there were a set of lights were he took of on us and left us about 5 car lenghts and we started pulling closer then he pulled away etc.

We were surprised but then i figured they are both 208kw(stock) and i guess the rear wheel drive would have an advantage from rolling.

but really i thought it would have done much better than a WRX, if there was 1 person in the STI maybe a different story DUNNO.

SO are u guys surprised or its a good result,

cheers,

You'll find that your GT-T doesn't actually produce 208kW out of the factory.......

He was probably held down by the weight.

A GT-T shouldn't catch an STi for a while (we're not talking Impreza WRX!)

I'd imagine in equal circumstances with equal drivers the STi would have done better.

At the drags or track, he would have served it to you.

My mate has a s14 with just a FMIC, BOV and turbo back exhaust and he rips 34 gtts with ease. The same car kept up with a stock WRX (just a bit faster actualy) from a rolling start.

So for your gtt to keep up with an STI, hmm, something doesnt sound right.

Huh?

If his s14 rips GT-Ts....then it should absolutely slaughter WRXs rolling start!

Right?

s14a's are significantly lighter than GTT's, the standard s14a turbo can handle 1bar of boost no probs.

true

it also depends on what mods are on the GTT :) cant expect a stock GTT to keep up with a modded s14/a

my friend's sr20 180 (not an s14 but i think its even lighter?) has roughly the same mods as me and definately does not "rip" my GTT

but stock for stock.. the sti "should" be the go, but throw enough $$ at it and it'll beat anything you want :D

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.

      Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
