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

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
