It would be an interesting contest but i reakon that the skyline would have better final drive ratio than the commondore, giving it more acceleration. With the same, power in a lighter car, with better gear ratios i think the skyline would do it. But, obviously the commondore i would expect to have a fare bit more torque so as i said , it would be an interesting race.

It would be torque Vs ratios!

The VT will get a better launch thanks to an auto but if its a decent drag strip where you can go for at least 400m or longer, the GT-T will own the VT as its a good 300kg lighter.

Mind you 300rwkw VT Auto thats N/A is pretty hardcore.

theres a tone of factors. what mods to the diff etc of the VT? is it a series 1 or 2. is the transmission been kitted or anything? what tyres are they running?

what time would a 300rwkw r34 run?

oh and autos run quicker and more consitent times than a manual. :laugh:

this would a very close race.

i can tell u guys now that the ls1 is going to be pumping 300rw/kw just by doing exhaust alone (my mates dad spent $3500 on extractors alone on his vt series 2 and the rest of the exhaust and got 300rw/kw) remember in europe and US ls1's come with 400bhp from the factory :)

and yes i would like to know what a 300rw/kw gtt would run

ive seen alot of LS1's get 300rwhp from exhaust/intake/mafless tune, but not 300rwkw

hmmm maybe i remembered incorrectly. with the LS1 unlock theres ure 300+rw/kw(would be either europes or US's ecu map) right there. either way its shit cheap to get big power figures out of the ls1's

also aussie ls1s are 5.7L compared to the yank 4.8L or whatever it is...

with an ls1 all you need is extractor exhaust intake and tune and youve got 250+rwkw easy as. not bad for $3k mods or so.

The problem with the Aussie Ls1's are the tune. Get a good tune, extractors and twin 2.5 exhaust and a decent OTR intake and you'll be pushing 250rwkw, good easy bolt on mods. Injectors won't give you anymore power. With cam will make you around 280rwkw.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
