a stock mclaren is going to hose a stock r33 gtr.

*waits for the " such and such's 700kw gtr would kick it's arse"

and my response is, possibly, but i bet that at above 200kmh the maclaren would pull away because the aerodynamics of the gtr aren't designed to let it go up to close to 400kmh.

but if i had to drive from brisbane to sydney i'd much preffer the SLK55. and unless you know that the person in the other car is 100% trying to win, how can you say you chopped them. they might have been using 50% throttle and just hoping that there was a cop waiting around the corner to get you.

i like skylines. they are a great car, but they aren't the best car. but at the end of the day, if you spend $100,000 making a skyline as fast as you can, or buying a car for $100,000, the resale on the $100,000 is going to be way better, and it would probably be much nicer to drive, and much more reliable.

oh yeah this debate could go on forever, i love my line but there are alot better cars out there... the merc driver was obviously ging me up and i finally gave in...

if i had 100k i wouldnt be buying a nissan thats for sure!

but i wouldnt want to be drifting a SKL55

:P

they sound like runny bum

whats wrong with drifting a SLK55? front engine v8 rwd perfect drift car! just dont drift on public road.

SLK55 with an exhaust will make your car sound like fart can in comparison!

What sort of kit? Would be some kind of supercharger or twin turbo kit? Basic chip and exhaust wont get you much from these already highly tuned V8s, but will give you the supercar sound.

Nice flat bottom steering wheel.

yeh you've really gotta watch out for some of the german sedens these days - i used to get into mercs heaps

not so much a mclaren but the likes of a CL65 an E63 AMG these things are very stealth street weapons.

just remember that the release of the Skyline GTR was around 8/9 years ago.. making these comparisons with such a difference in price and age really doesnt make a fair test.

thats an awsome audi mate - i saw something similar to that at the shopping cetre the other day they're such a classy car

becasue youll never have one youll never know, sorry champ i was the same when i was 18 but now that im a little older power and luxury is the only way to go.

What in the world do you do for a job to afford such a beautiful car? I'm jealous! :)

I probably won't and it doesn't really worry me, I just can't understand where their value comes from. I mean you could have bought a nice Porsche for that price and fulfilled your ego a little more. It looks similar to a liberty with that ugly grill that Audi puts on everyone of their cars.

i dunno where you see an ugly audi grill, or how you compare it looking like a liberty, the car is unique on its own, the engine brakes suspension and most other components come from the lamborghini, engine development, to make 309kw fro ma 4.2l NA, is incredible, holden can bearly get 300kw from thier 6L engine. and its stil a nugget.

If you have the money and you love your cars, the Audi RS4 is a must, Ive searched the market and could not find a car that compares to the rs4 for $170+k.

when you have a drivein one youll see why people love them

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
