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

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
