ok, thats great

one guy gets to drive home in a gtr

the other in a busted old civic

who's the real winner?

but, who really modifies cars like that for comfort....not many

just another way to look at it...

moral of the story, skylines are not invincible...

this clip is so old

the gtr isnt giving it 100%..

look at the acceleration the civic has as it goes past.

if the gtr is flooring it against a light civic that manages to accelerate that fast past the gtr.. well it would be inpossible to grab that much traction in such a light FWD car and pass a gtr like that.

and besides.. no matter how much they punch it, the other people on the road hardly seem to fall back into the distance, if it was real then you wouldnt see ppl in the backround at all

all you are seeing is a gtr gearing down and giving half throttle against a semi quick civic

a civic with a k20a swap isn't slow

So one can still go round corners safly and the other cant. Cool!

That said the civic is probably giving it a good hiding. My mates fwd corolla is still being run in on 6psi and obviously less revs, stock computer shocking tune etc, and his car just EATS mine. When he gets the haltech he has installed and tuned, runs 20psi, and revs it out to 8500rpm... I highly doubt a mild to mid modded gtr will beat it (assuming he doesnt snap drive shafts, gearboxes, and somehow gets enough traction to move forwards). But his car wont go round corners, its f'ing scary now in a straight line. Moral is, you put big motors in little cars they will go very quickly, but probably wont be any good at anything else.

as usual, wanky americans building cars that dont go around corners or bends.

even if the civic bet it i would love to see both cars take it out on a race track. and to see the comments that all those people left on the video is horrible.

But untill i see an american car that can turn corners im not even gonna bother thinking that they have a decent car that can race.

There is literally no difference to strapping on a rocket to that car and lighting it while driving beside a GTR.

Edited by koleka

this has been discussed on many forums!!!

There was no race because the traffic behind is going the same speed as the skyline LOL

This thread was made by a clown that thinks that the single cam rb30's are better then a twin cam RB30.

Wouldnt take much notice of him.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
