R34NRG Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ye, and with a 1700-1800kg body, a lighter car with 200-220rwkw and 1400kg's is going to deal a beating to it time and time again because weight is the enemy of power.You can have as much power as you want. But when you tip the scales with another 300-400kgs, the extra power means dick all. Is basic physics. If you cant be faster than a Naro/GT with 220rwkw in your own car, then you cant drive, or you dont have 220rwkw (or a combination of the two) ahhahahha the infamous nismoid once again, i never said it was faster i just said they have 250 at the wheels and i want more then that, its not really about whos faster but i guess braggin rights a lil, and the fact that i wanna step out of the 200-250 mark thats so common these days. If you are going to try and pull up Paulr33 I suggest you get your facts straight and stop dribbling shit.He said the Ford and the HSV have around 200 rwkw - not flywheel kw. Trying to pull up someone that unlike you, does know what they are talking about will only make you look the fool. lol mate looks like ur the fool Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162228-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-3018181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBwhatever Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) So where's the money coming from? What 18 year old can afford a r34gtt and then mod it and fit and i quote "ive actually got a 10grand sound system with full neon setup, wider guards, full Do Luck R34 GTR Body Kit, ive got Silver Volk GTC as rims, and this is why im aiming for my next step, big power.....im after the whole package 18x10 tyres ive got now, it just makes everything that much better". At 18 most of us had to stretch our bank accounts just to buy a rusty bucket with wheels. Then we went on to labour for our earnings to even buy a sports car. Then the money to start modding the thing and paying insurance is enough to make lil timmy cry for a bowl of food. Edit: Working for telstra? so your pay packet is better than most other peoples? at the age of 18? please...

paulr33 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 also keep in mind a well setup and tuned skyline will pull harder than a stock setup monaro, ss vu, xr8 etc average power wins, its heaps better to beat them with less power Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162228-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-3018188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz0r$harP.UK Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 you should research more a FOrd GT has over 290Kws at the flywheel and the HSV monaro has 297KW at the Flywheel Just as a point of interest, in early 2005 MOTOR magazine dynoed both those cars when they were questioning manfacturer quoted specs.

paulr33 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 they are marketing figures at the flywheel on an engine dyno so it doesnt count loss for gearbox, drive train, diff, wheels etc so a 290kw marketed car usually makes around 220rwkw we dynoed a friends xr6 turbo and it made 211rwkw i think they were meant to have 250kw at the fly so, some have more, some have less but never get scared of xr8s, ss v8s etc with 290kw badges, they are bullplop Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162228-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-3018215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Holy crap, how much does your 10 grand stereo weigh? 2 amps, 2 subs and the rest.... could be about 100Kg in the end. Think of the cable weight Well, you obviously just have the engine left. All I can suggest is a small punchy turbo with no real specific aim on power. GT-SS for instance. Torque is better than peak power in my books. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162228-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-3018247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forged Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Got to give credit to Andru for his persistence despite getting flamed by everyone here! If the guy wants 300kw then just give him the advice on how to achieve it. He said he wants bragging rights of rwkw not power over weight ratio or faster 1/4 time, thats a good enough reason for me or for any car enthusiasts. im sure he will want to achieve other more important goals later (for example dump the stereo and get faster lap times) but thats a start. besides its his money or his parents money who cares. no need to stereotyping 18yr old whos rich. its not your concern. there are much more unfair things in the world. now lets get back to the topic( I have given my advice) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162228-300rwkw/page/4/#findComment-3018423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
