Last time i was at WSID there was this sleeper copper orange v8 ss vx, looked totally stock from the outside

then looking under the bonnet....

GT3540!!!.. he said engine has been worked with forgies 5.7L gen3 running 10-11's can't remember but he said he was kiling the diff or drive shafts all the time

I GUESS HE SAW THE LIGHT! V8 + TURBO :(

lolz .... ahhhh good laugh.

why they talking turbos on a v8, when a supercharger is the obvious choice for large displacement anyway?

Not anymore...

The GEN-TT kits are killing most supercharger kits horsepower figures.

They only cost 9 grand as well, so they're pretty cheap in terms of kw gained.

Superchargers were king about 2 years ago, alot has changed in R&D for turbos on V8's since then though.

Alot of VX SS' are running around with the GEN-TT kits now, with not much else done and they're running mid to low 11's

I have run and beaten several eights with my near stock GT-R. it felt great.

the problem is that people are bagging skylines, they are confusing GTS-Ts(which are still great vehicles BTW!!!) with GT-R's.

i haven't met anyone that has driven a GT-R that wasn't absolutely astounded by its overall ability as a performance car.

pfffft. 5.7ltrs suck ass. all that hp now they want to be "ricers" lmao. there family cars for god sake >_<

exactly. just because the engine may have come from a corvette, doesn't mean the rest of the car is at the same level of performance.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
