Ferni,come to a renew/saunsw track day at wakefield park to see some bloody quick rx's. Maybe the GTR driver needs some leasons,,,what did he say "these speeds are scary".

Neil.

Yeah i wish there were some fast ones down here. I like the Series 6's - doesn't everyone. Just haven't seen them perform like i've heard they can. I know of a few people with them, all to scared to track them.

The MCR R34 had too much power for the touge stage, The RE RX7 is a fully striped out thing with a basically standard motor.

The MCR R34 will totally decimate it around a circuit

Not true mate.

The RE amemiya FD has run a 58 or 59 seconds around tsukuba, with stock turbo's... not far off the MCR car.

Not far off around Tsukuba is good enough because heaps of different cars are separated by poof tenths of a second but on more free flowing track i think itll be very far ahead

I agree to a point, but I think we have different opinions on what defines 'decimate'.

I think it would be a close run thing. And I'd imagine the GT-R would be quicker on the more flowing tracks, it's where the power makes the difference, but not miles ahead.

I personally think the RX-7 is a better handling car, but to each their own.

i believe its fair to say on a course like that....its very unfair for the gtr. that whole course had tight turns and hardly no straight full accelleration points.

i believe a r34 gtr will destory any type of rx7 on the perfect circuit, with tight turns long turns long straights and short ones aswell.

the rx7s biggest weapon is its handling.......on a course like the one touge

Very quick for what is largely a stock car on street tyres. Cool vid too.

So a general R34GTR Vs "any" RX7 - Okay...... SP RX7.

So a perfect circuit, tight corners, short straights, long striaghts, and long turns..... "The RX7's biggest weapon is its handling"......... The GTR would be far superior than the RX7 in hard launching, thats it mate. After that. the difference is driver error for cars equally modified.

The FD RX7 won 12 hour races x3 at Bathurst in a car which included facotry A/C still fitted.... I suppose Bathurst isn't a real race track.

Please, dont just jump on the band wagon. You know jack about RX7's.

This course has another advantage for the fd3s: it is a downhill race.

There is a down hill and a uphill run ?

When it boils down too it, both cars are legends, both cars are major racing winners.

No, both battles are downhill, which evens out the fd3s' power disadvantage to the godzilla. R34s are good for their power and performance, but on a course with lots of sharp cornering involved, it won't have much space to do anything.

As Andy has said, both are excellent cars with great track records with their own strengths; an fd3s will dominate on some tracks, and an r34 on others, given equally skilled drivers.

in the 4 car battle I did notice a few things. The silvia was as hard tuned as they get. full sequential box, 520hp GT spec engine... hmm both the GTR and Supra were road cars and the FD was just a 'boost up' level of mods with a measly 380hp. to cap this off the silvia was the lighest car of the lot. if anything else had one Tsuchiya would have had to retire from racing...

Wouldn't you guys call it even and no advantage. RX7's superior handling chassis vs GTR's mechanical grip advantage using ATTESSA ?

Not on a Skyline forum where a skyline has lost...

:P

markimak: I got that Tsukuba info from memory. I haven't seen a list of record times, just from what I've read in various magazines and on DVD's.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
