Haven't seen it before either

That was a great video

Shows that Aussie cars are catching up (2002 car vs 1998 car) but also shows that Skylines are fit to be modified.

Agree with the poster at youtube in that they should've sourced a Skyline with a manual gearbox instead.

Lets get a 34 GTR into it then and compare it to the falcon...

Then let's get a Ford GT and compare it to a 34 GTR :P

Just because the Skyline comes off second best doesn't mean everyone in SAU has to get defensive about it. Geez.

Well....lets get a R390 GT1 and compare it to a Ford GT.

Heh, the R390 is my favourite Nissan car of all time but I wouldn't bet for it against a Ford GT...

Besides, there is zero info on the R390 road car.

Typhoon against R34 GTR is a fair fight, and one i will stand up to it. Factory specs claim typhoon pulls mid 13's, where as R34 should pull high 13's, but really, it does high 12's. The R34 GTT should kill XR6T easy, simply cause the XR is a family car, it wasnt designed as much as the R34. If we wanna talk big, than find a ford, thats built in Australia thats in the same era, say 1998 or 2002. As much as i hate to say it, ford sucked at creating sports cars during those times, it was only till 2004 that ford lifted thier game. Wait till the GTR 2007 gets released, than lets get talking.

Ps: XR6T pulls roughly 220KW, with the added weight, 1600kg, it should be similar to 206KW GTT skyline.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
