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

    • Welcome.  800hp should be a bit of weekend fun!
    • I'm going with "Just run two gates". Fix the problem conclusively. It's the only way you'd ever truly know, right?. This is all pretty much splitting hairs. Even the extreme example where it takes two whole seconds at 100kmh or something sounds monstrously dubious. And anyway, when you're punching the throttle when you 'need' this power, you aren't at 2800rpm in the wrong gear. Test it at 5600rpm in 3rd gear, when you're traction limited punching out of a sweeper. Much difference there when you account for traction?
    • And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually  
    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
