Exactly. I Bet any track weapon with 1/4 the power would own that thing on the track. There's no use having that much power if you can't stop on a dime or put it to the ground.
And I bet a jet ski would be faster than both of them across water, a Landcruiser would tow a trailer better, and a Mazda 3 hatch would be better for the shops...
give me 100,000 pounds to spend on a car and we'll see what wins.
He said it owed him that much. That'd include buying it, and the multitude of engines it's had in it over the years. But yeah, 100k (pounds!!) is a big chunk of cash.
Lol give me 100K to put into a Skyline and lets see what we end up with?
I think you're underestimating how much things cost :P

I dont have a background in cars, but I do know how much it costs to electrosil and bullet proof a single 400cc engine. If you set out with 100k to make a nice well balanced touring touring car and based it on a Skyline, I daresay that you would end up with something pretty special.

Thats not to say it would buy you a whole lot :P

Doubt you would get near 7.80 second quarters unless you can do a lot, including chassis/clutch tuning, yourself.

Still $100k on a Skyline purely from a performance persective would be fun... although has been done several times over too.

U wouldnt even come close if you were the first to build a skyline for that purpose as the guy has to that car.

That is from latest season of 5th gear. The stupid looking host in the video is the new host along with VBH. He knows nothing about cars or anything much in general it seems. He looks like a D class uk actor they have decided to use for some reason instead of tiff or plato.

sue me if its a repost, i searched and nothing.

its quite cool - dont like how they compare it to the bugatti though.

and the uk must have some pretty lax car modification laws...

still cool none the less.

actually the UK has probably the most strick road laws in the world, which is why this car actually is quite interesting, he must be damn good engineer, to have made this car be able to be daily driveable, passing UK's very strict emission laws.

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
