Okay.

My Supra held dead level, with a R34 GTT (Auto in both)

Later on, I got my rear end handed to me by a V8 VN with an exhaust.

Basically, the R32 would most likley be beaten down like my Supra against a V8 in the VN.

Now against the V6, on the roll, I just start to loose out.

So I'd be hazarding a guess, that the R32 would loose out too (BTW, my Supra IS twin turbo)

Dude, a 2JZ-GTE being beaten by a 5ltr VN?

That doesn't sound right to me :s

An NA Skyline should beat your average AU falcon or commodore(note:SHOULD) as they aren't very quick. At the drags tonight a stock AU falcon was running consistent flat 17's, however a stock EL automatic was running mid 15's the whole night with absolutely no mods. A mates VR commodore with full exhuast, extractors, V8 throttle body, bellmouth removed and shift kit ran 15.7 on his best run. Its the VN/VP commo's and EF/EL falcons that will spank an NA liner quite easily.

i'm guessing that there was something wrong with the AU (like probably done 300,000kms and getting a bit tired). i've driven quite a few of the aussie tanks and i can tell you than an AU will beat a VN or an EF. it won't be by much, but they are faster, and they sure as hell aren't a second slower.

I dunno Marco, I've driven an AU aswell and they feel faster than the old dogs but I think it might be the extra torque that gives it that feel. They are pretty slow off the line cause they are heavy bastards. The VR and EL were much lighter and launched a bit quicker IMO.

was the au auto or manual? you can't compare manual to auto, but still, the stock times for the AU (non xr6) were low 16's for the autos. and the stock times for the EF/EL were pretty much the same. throw an exhaust on them and a set of tyres and you'll get well into the 15's. the xr6's are quicker. there are people with au xr6's into the 14's with CAI and exhaust.

hey, not so true i got a rb20de all stock besides spitfire coilpacks wouldnt do anything anyway but from a stop start i always get to 60 b4 most things besides a few time vs v8 ss xr6 turbo and a r33 gtst but most n/a's that try race me like all of them do i normally get a head then i stop cause dont wanna speed happy.gif then they over take me cause obviously im braking so i dont go over speed limit but yeh last night this dick in a 2007 xr6 n/a was revin shit at me for like 2 kms then at set of lights i gave it to it on lights and beat him to 60 not by much but still did .. i dont know why everyone says rb20de is so shit mine isnt bad at all more power then i thought it was going to have... not saying its reall powerful but not as bad as u would think ermm.gif

i could understand beating aussie 6's because of the fact that their diff ratios are so tall, but seriously, go up against other 4 cylinders (or people who can drive) and you'll find out just how slow it is.

and being able to go from 0-60 fast isn't a sign of power, just a sign of short diff ratios and decent traction (something an rb20 doesn't have to worry about since it has bugger all torque). try launching an aussie 6 or 8 by revving it up and side stepping the clutch like you can in a low torque, high revving car and you'll find that it is suddenly hard to see due to all the smoke.

LOL bozodos get fkd man no shit i kno my car has shit all power im not sayin my car is fast just sayin what has happened ..... all i read on n/a threads are r32 gts are shit and have nothing all im sayin is it does have a bit obviously its not alot since non turbo and rb20de .... what else im a p plate cant drive a turbo or else i would of got one and i love skylines why would i get rid of it ...if i liked say ford / holdens or something else i would of got one but no i dont like any of them at all .. insult to the rest of us hahaha gee dont even know you

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
