300kw Monaro's - Strike 1

[R31Nismoid]

well last night i came up against one of these. And i thought... i've gotta at least have a go at it for all skyline's sake

and i shocked him royally, not to mention myself!

Both times we went from a rolling start of 80.

The first time i has this guy by half a car till 1*)km/h on the freeway.

Then we came into traffic and just plodded our way through it and we both got free and it was on again for another 80km/h start.

This time i had to wait a sec for boost (damnned lag) and then it the chase was on. we got as far as @@) km/h and he'd only got a car lenth and a tad more on me by that stage.

we both backed off and the look on this poor guy's faces was priceless. $100,000 and he still didn't flog me silly the second time round (which i thought he would do at the top end of my 5th)

i dunno what i'll be able to beat when i got 15psi

just had to share that one.

good work

*pat on back*

hehe ill bring my bmx and flog it, **** HOLDEN!!!

[predator]

its good fun during a high rolling start (at 60km/hr or whatever) in a turbo sometimes, can always drop it back a gear and rev it from that 4-6000rpm where it has most of its go.

"top end at 5th" ?? @@ hate to think how fast you were going I know mine i'm approaching the 2nd figures

[R31Nismoid]

mmm... it was up there, i'll say that much.

look at the speeds in the first post. (it's in very simple code)

DOWN THE HSV Flagship

[DJ_L3ThAL]

sheesh, yer cops would be too stupid to work out that code ay

? lol

[DJ_L3ThAL]

hmm, hope i contest with cars like that once i get mine back :)

[turbomad]

Aren't HSV Monaro's only 255kw? I thought only HSV GTS Commodore's were 300kw?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

a gts is a monaro...

[predator]

if you're talking about the HSV version yes.. there is the non HSV version which is the 225kw.

eek.. we're talking about holdens noooo...shoot me!

Thing is, you get 170-180rwkw in your R33 skyline (with your standard exhaust, boost, and i/c mods).. That translates to around 230-240kw (or so i've been told) in manufacturer talk. This is around 1400kg laden. So that equals around 0.171kw/kg

Now take 1700kg @ 300kw and do the same = about 0.177kw/kg.. close...

But take superior japanese engineering and the xtra kick a turbo can give and there you go..the skyline will be faster.

Soo, still no replacement for displacement???

[Guest gtst88]

GTS has 300kw

GTO 250kw

Monaro 225kw

[hippy]

wow.. nicely detailed engine 8)

[Horus]

the best part of owning a line is flogging dressed up commowhores

[R31Heaven]

Man that is one clean/nice engine bay

[benm]

Now all you need to do is find him again and take him from the lights and see how well you go against him.

80km/h rolling = just pure power

0km/h start = suspension, tyres, driver technique and power.

[R31Nismoid]

yeah, i was thinking that same thing.

i was filthy cause we went through a set of lights and i was hoping they would go red so we dcould go from a standing start... but no luck!!!

I think i would get him off the line. I'm good at launching. I got consistent 2-2.2 sec 60' times at calder... it's just waiting for boost that would cause me to loose i think.

but i will indded be keeping an eye out for him... as he probably will be for me too
