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:

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

but i catch da ****

rexs suck dick all there good for is take off

take em with a rolling start then see how good they r..

i recon with a lil boost and my exhaust thats coming in 2 weeks.,..

and some proper tires

il do da **** over twice as hard

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..

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

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 ????????

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.

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

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

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
