im amazed this topic is still going lol, so many stories, why does everyone race against holdens and commodores? i thought there would be more agaisnt civics and elantra's and excel's, is it because the N/A skyline will lose against the civics?

i used to own a N/A r34 thought it was fast but really they are very slow, then i decided to get a real car and got a gtt but decided its time to go the top of the pecking order and got a man's car, a r34 gtr!.

let the angry people begin posting lol.

Z32 Slicktop 300ZX, 1420kg making 131rwkw. Faster then your average NA liner, by quite a lot.

that's nothing really special. i had a manual magna making the same sort of power with just an exhaust, weighing about the same and while they are a bit quicker than a NA 'line or commodore (ran high 14's), they certainly aren't blow the doors off quick like the turbo skylines are compared to a v6 commodore. but then it depends on whether the car you are racing is auto or manual. cause if it is auto and yours is manual then of course you are going to do better.

I love this thread =\

You lot may aswell have a power walking race...it would be more exciting than watching worn out NA auto skylines trying to race 3000000000000000km old VN wagons with Hayman Reece towbars and a caravan on the back.

Yeah 3L VG30DE motor, no 0-100 times yet....but it goes alright for what it is with minor boltons.

Take a video if you can ? I'd like to see how one goes...always been kinda curious about the 300zx's.

Peak power isn't super high but i bet the torque is pretty good.

I had a fto gpx as my first car, and from 2l it put out 116 fwkw on tightarse dyno. Need to rev rev rev those type of n/a motors though and forget about it if you're going up a hill lol. It was fun still making power at rev cut 8200rpm though..

    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
    • Welcome.  Here's what I have noticed about forum vs FB..... FB; seems to be wallet racing, and the same few questions asked over and over. There *may* be some groups that are closer knit, but most have changed for the worse. SAU; unfortunately, no longer in its glory days. But....genuine people with similar interests. Not all about how much you spent and saying you dont have enough power. Sooooooo much knowledge available. Have personally seen people post up about literally topics I made myself, asking on FB like no one has done it before. Most has been done, and most of that is here.   If you ever feel like just general chatting theres the wasteland.  Other interests are also generally covered in other areas of the forum. Hope you enjoy hanging around. We would love to have you.   P.s. nice 32 😀
