I've owned both an NSX and a GT-R and I can tell you the GT-R is a MUCH better sports car than the NSX was. However the NSX was a much nicer toruning car than the GT-R. The GT-R is all about performance where as the NSX was a really nice car to drive rather than a fast car to drive.

Didn't the "gentleman's agreement" mean that they simply said the cars were 206kw as opposed to tuning for hours on end and actually making them exactly 206. Just in an effort to stop the pathetic kw competition that goes on between holden and ford?

I loved the part about the Skylines. They talked so much crap it wasn't funny. One of the guys they interviewed said that the engine could handle 1000HP without blowing up.

Yeah right, if you had a spare $100K to spend on a mods and a rebuild.

My top ten are.

Porsche 998

Porsche GT3

Bugatti Veyron

Dodge Viper

Lambro Countach

Nissan GTR

Mazda RX7 series 8

Enzo Ferrari

Jaguar DB9

Mercedes SLR(sure it is called this)

So- How many of those have you driven?

GHEYEST TOPIC EVER

honestly, my car is faster than yours and better than yours will remain a bar discussion, and only that, forever, with respect to any good performance cars.

this is truly a useless discussion.

Skylines are shit and old technology - farkin cast iron block, crappy efficiency, poor emissions.

If the NSX doesn't qualify as a supercar based solely on its power, rather than its design brief and execution, then no Japanese car does as they're all making the same 280ps.

they took into account that the GTR is restricted from factory and with slight mods can make a lot more power

I made a resolution to play nice, but if you want to start up again we can have another thread that is going to end up getting deleted because of how badly I embarrass you and your inability to grasp basic concepts.

The 911 is an amazing sports car, but supercar it is not. The Carrera GT is definitely a supercar though.

ahahhhahh! :):woot: Your such a funny guy man. You make this gushing statement about the 911 and then in the same breath, quote Clarkson on how its a glorified beetle!!

Your a funny guy scathing, what can i say? Please dont go chucking your toys out of the pram just yet, mate! theres a good boy. :kiss::D

exactly, and that, a member with 5000 posts! :sorcerer:

lol! bring it on fluffball. :woot::D:):kiss:

hahahaha....dumbass.

why r u even a member of SAU?

pull your head in, i own a GTR

Skylines are exactly as i have said:

1. old technology - any high performance car today uses a alloy block

2. crap efficiency - low comp ratio, poor flowing cylinder head design, high pumping losses... i could go on

3. poor emissions - the "halo" engine RBs killed off by not meeting Euro III

ok so the next obvious question is, why do you own a GTR??? :kiss::D:)

cheap and fast.

i was just making the point to "Skyline Enthusiasts" that there are much better cars than what we own.

open mindedness is not something we see here very much these days - and I've been around here for a long time...

sorry i guess i should have been more specific wen quoting u.

Skylines are shit and old technology

ther we go...

i dont care if uve been around since the dawn of time...u obviosuly dont appreciate thr GTR and its accomplishments, so sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

ur freggin talkin about a car that was made in the late 80's early 90's (r32gtr)...a car that will still give top brand new sports cars a run for their money, and u say its 'shit'....pffft.

Don't be quoting me about not appreciating. The time and cost of spent getting my car bare metal resprayed, all the mods etc are unrecoverable. you want to buy it? $70K - it's yours.

Bottom line - old technology, better cars now.

the same reason why a 1980's lamborghini countach is an awesome car, but you're not gonna see me going out to buy one anytime soon, even though its very affordable now etc. It'll give a lot of new sports cars a run for their money... it dosen't mean its anywhere near as good as them in terms of efficiency, safety and technology.

GTRs were gey in their day. These days their like that bolding grey headed bloke that insists on having apony tail...holding on too tight for yesteryears glory. :D

To think Nissan built the original GTR, then went Grp A racing with the GTSr, then created a 1470kg lump of poo to bludgeon the opposition with technology and electric ass ticking dildos. :kiss: Imagine how cool the R32 GTR could have been if they had kept elements of the original GTR and the R31 GTSR closer to heart. FD RX7 shoud be higher up there if we are talkign sports cars and not performance cars :)

Hell, since we are talkign sports cars why is ourt beloved Skuylien even there? Its a sports saloon, performance car etc etc. I wouldnt call it a sports car, it doesnt even have its own chassis/floorpan

LOL...make the natives restless :woot:

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
