I know its a crapy kinda question but just wondering what people OP's would be.

My GTR has 2860r's, 260 Tomei cams, all supporting mods (rad,intake pods,700cc sards etc etc) Apexi PFC D-Jettro and runs about 430RWHP on dyno.

The VZ ss ute is stock. My bro thinks it will thrash it to bits. I mean I have come up against WR craps and common whores but no exp against utes.

Just wondering if anyone has ever had a line up next to one of these and how they went or how my car would perform against one.

I think the VZ SS ute specs are : a 6.0 V8Gen IV, 1600.. Kgs and around 250Kw ....

anyways.... Like to hear some thoughts

You think it will be easy to take out... Like not a 6000rpm launch or somthing right...?

i rekon you can jus roll it out. but then again whats the point lol mite as well make it a slaughtering and go for the launch.

but yes this is going to be done on a drag strip right?

I have a similar combo and the same RWHP and I can tell you with some degree of certainty that if you have even a modicum of talent the ute will be pwned. You've got AWD, more WHP, more weight over the rear wheels and a better diff ratio. The ute might be chipped but even if it is you'll have him cold off the lights, better 60 footers, he'll do some catching at the 660 mark but I proclaim it another victory for a well sorted Godzilla over the taxi. Make sure you drop your rear tyre pressures to ensure super happy drag time.

Don't mean to be rude but that was a pretty dumb question haha

I've raced one of those ute's with a full car load extra 300 kilo's with less pwr than u and blown it by 10 car lengths. Ur car weighs less n has more pwr so how could u lose?

Put a good bet on the outcome so you have some extra coin to play with your car.Is like the Eagles playing Balga primary school football team.

ROFL nice call

But yes, as mentioned, your car is lighter and has more power.. you're probably toting almost double his power at the wheels (you're running roughly 320ish kW@wheels and the stock gen3 with 250kW @ the engine probably putting down maybe 180rwkW on a good day.. correct me if I'm wrong).

The difference lies in that he has an abundance of low down torque but only two poor tyres to feed the power to the ground. You have lag, but also have 4wd to compensate for when the power does come on. Either way, he might get you off the line if you bog down but I'm sure it wouldn't take long at all to pass him like he's standing still :miner:

no chance dude :miner: ,godzilla would eat the ute for breakfast mate,different if it was a ls1 ute with some mods,but even then the gtr would win, with 430hp at the wheels,that should be good enough for mid to low 11s at least.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
