Sounds like some TRX owners....

(hehehe)

Told us they'd smoke us on dyno day, but their cars couldn't get anywhere near the power figures of the R31's, and they're still making excuses, so now we're organising a drag day just to put an end to the dispute.

:burnout:

yes.. hey can we have a R33 vs R31 day with u guys? could be fun.. SAU plans nothing..

ash would win though.. hehe

[Guest RaBZ3174]

maybe he has a slight chance against a gtst but no wayyy the gtr i think he loves his car abit to much to relise what any gtr is cabable of!

[predator]

hmm.. I'm still of the belief that with a $20k GTS-T, an extra $20k spent, even if you have to chuck in a DETT engine ($10k?)..then spend $10k on the rest of the mods it will still be cheaper than what you'd spend on a GTR. Sure it will still handle like a -T but still, i think its in the realms of possibility.

Actually buy a Silvia for $10k.. chuck a RB26DETT engine in it and run away as fast as you can.. i think over the years this will become a lot more common and there are going to be some seriously quick hybrids around.. like the 12B is a common upgrade for just about any dato 1200, gemmini, etc at the moment - just the reliability sucks ass..

i dragged my mates wrx...

mines stock as a rock his is worked

he gets me of take of

BS Zdeno,

Il beat you with my stock ride-on mower, (with no air-filter)

and through 3rd & 4th youl have no chance! :shake:

[Zdenko]

mateee

ur ride on mower is fully sick blown man

u cant compair a skyline with a rexy

stock vs stock... r33 blow rexys ...

true true...

i mean..

there puss stock..

work a rexy a bite and work a skyline a lil and it gets intersting

but u know what would mucnh em all.. well 2 things

1.. my fully worked magna turbo running 25 psi

2. ur ride on mower..

[JNR24]

Are you talking about ernies rexy?? (the one you raced)

Cause you guys shouldnt over estimate rexys. cause there not bad if you spend 60K on them!! :shake:

[Zdenko]

yeh ernie was runing fulle zort boost...

and stiv driving he got me by half a car at the end on take of he had me buy 3 cars

so i caught up to him 2 cars by the end of the drag.. it was a 1/4 mile marked out at da back of werribee

yeh my mums ham van can go quick with 60k in it

[adznight]

Yeah I've been killed by STI's big time but gimmi your average zorst and intake moded WRX and I beat em over the mile, to bad bout the take off's though! I think thats pretty much the same story for all, xcept for the lucky GTR owners eh!

[Zdenko]

yeh.. stock.. i call the wrx premiture blowers..

cause all there excitment comes withi n the first 0-40 ks

they dont run da distance like us skyline drivers heyyy

[IOWNU]

Look what I've started, and boy have I let my mate know. U know what I think im going to start a lot of Skyline vs Forums to see how people rate the skyline against other japanese icons (ie Supra, rx7 etc)

MIght be biased though, but really what Jap car is better than the Skyline.....it (GTR-34) has one the japanese touring championship (sorta like the V8's here) the last 5 YEARS IN A ROW!!!!

Skyline vs ????????

[Zdenko]

man

stock vs stock.......

i recon skylines kick arse

[ApacheX]

i think a big factor in this is modifications. i dont konw if u said this, but how much iz hiz wrx modified? i mean....if its been done to run 9second 400m....then yeah its gonna beat alot.

not only does it depend on modifications...but also on the driver

[predator]

stuff stock... skyline isn't that quick stock.. needs to be running 10-12psi to make it reasonable. Thing is spend $3k on a skyline gts-t and you'll have it running pretty fast.. whereas a WRX you'll be spending a hell of a lot more.

GTR is in a world of its own.. there is a reason everybody wants one or talks about owning one - they are the most powerful japanese sports car in terms of handling, upgrades, and of course the power.

WRX are just a 45k hotted up up Impreza.. Just like a clubsport is a hotted up Commodore. And a skyline is a ???? A skyline, nothing else.. not a family car, not a base model xxx with go fast bits. It starts with the GTR and they work back taking bits off until you have a GTS.

[Zdenko]

what u mean

... skylines arnt quick stock..

im friken raapppeeedd with my car at the moment

didnt touch it took it to calder ran a 14.01 and 14.3's 14'4s all day..

to be honest.. its the quickest stock car ive driven... im pretty impressed with it...

but yeh.. ur rite wrx r just worked imprezas.. and a skyline is just skylines. cant get any better

[predator]

ha.. thats good man.. makes my 13.981 with the few things i have on my car look a bit dodgy

I want a mid-low 13 i guess which is what my car should be capable of really.. hence the heathcote idea in a few weeks

[EnricoPalazzo]

Predator: Wat mods u got. Your TS seems to be low for a high 13. Did u miss a gear or somethin on that run?

[predator]

Edit: removed mod list due to possible cop pressence

slowed down near end i think because wasn't sure where the exact end of the run was :-S .. anyway, next time, different tyres, different setup.. see what i will get

[Zdenko]

yeh man with dat set up u should be looking at low 13's

im gonna be runing boost and an exhaust if we go heathcote.. i was break into a comfy 13's and il be all happy...

does any one know if those apexi afc remove ur speed limitor by any chance??
