One of my mates owns a Subaru WRX.... he says that everytime he comes against a SKyline he smokes em nice.

IS this TRUE?

He said he's even done GTR's, and GTST"S are no challenge.

Frankly, I find that hard to believe.

Everyone will agree that the WRX stands no chance against the GTR, but what are its chances against the GTT R34 or modified GTST

WRX owners have an inflated opinion of their own cars I've seen. Does he ever mention whether these skylines are even trying?

Stock for stock maybe, but a modded GTS-T should be able to beat them. I don't have trouble with the couple of rexes i have tried, even once an STi wasn't that difficult.

Only advantage WRX is AWD so gets power off the line and maybe cornering.. otherwise GTS-T with a bit of power should be quicker and easily catch it.

GT-R ? What crack is he smoking? Does he even know what a genuine GTR looks like?

I mean WRX only have 170kw stock anyhow.. Their upgrade potential is also less bang for buck that skyline as well - most of the time the drivetrain or gearbox falls apart when you put more power through them.

Stock against stock the gtst would beat it at the line to because the rex actually bogs down first because of the AWD system. I have seen standard Gtst beet rexs all the time

they are hopeless

thats me

hey wouldnt mind some of that crack thats hes smoking dickhead

some people got no idea what so ever

all well

OK So a GTST would keep after 2nd but win if modified. GTR would absolutely kill the REX, but what about a WRX vs GTT R34?

MayB the GTR's hes claimed to have beaten are GTST's with GTR bodykit, and Badges: AFter all there are a lot goin' around

R34 vs. WRX? Usually an R34 would win after the second gear change (in 3rd, that is). Let them enjoy the first two gears and take 'em down by the time you shift third. Guarantee, there is no way he can keep up.

STis? In stock forms, I admit, they got an edge. But a slight modification to the Skyline would change everything. Again, same thing as the WRX... get 'em by the third. Guys, don't waste your time. Dragging a WRX don't mean shit... they are always at the disadvantage side for having a smaller engine in terms of capacity. Try to take them down in corners. After all, they always brag that a the car is a 4WD, a fool-proof... making everyone behind the wheels an instant pro racers...

Hmm, I only had one wrx try to race but I stuffed up take off and decided it wasnt worth trying to chase. Only had my car for a few weeks at the time.

Bring it on I say :D

Lets organise a major Skyline Vs other turbo / import cars drag event - @ calder I mean, b4 anyone gets all legal on me :)

And settle the BS once and for all!

ahh wrx's, 90% of owners are middle aged business men who know nothing about them, but just bought it coz it was a so called cult car.

Used to race 1 all the time after work at my old job coz the owner worked across the road. Hes had FMIC and a few other mods i could see. When my car was stock he used to woop me off the line down westall road but by 2nd, 3rd i would be near hes rear bumper. Then after i did all the mods, safc, fmic etc we lined up again and he wooped me off the line again but in the middle of 2nd i was beside him and 3rd i was already in front and pulling away.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
