Just a quick question to settle an argument. A friend of mine has a fairly new v8 calais and Ive got a lightly modified r33 gtst s2. He seems to think his car would be way faster in the quarter, I obviously have to disagree. Having not been out to the track yet and not able to find any reliable information on the net about his cars performance its an impossable argument with out taking them to the track. I didnt plan on going until my lightly modified, (fmic, exaust, filter, plugs), got a little more edge and really after all this debating I want to make sure its not close. But in reality I figure right now it would be a close quarter and I think the line would win, you all would know more so please give me some information to end this argument. The hours of lookin at commos on the net is starting to make me ill.

Thanks

i would think your line would win.a mate of mine has a VN SS that makes 193 rwkw's and my 33 RB25DE stays head to head with it up to about 120 km/h (fastest weve taken them out to then backed off).my 33 would be lucky to make 120 - 130 rwkw's with the mods it has.

I vote thread lock on vs threads.

you said it yourself.

Sorry mate, wasnt tryin to stir anything up. Just figured you all would know more about the commos performance having been to the track so I was looking for an educated opinion. Wasnt saying anything about illegal activity, didnt realize there was a rule against asking about what would more then likely perform better.

you just compared two completely different cars to what the thread is about.. well done.

rather than squabbling like girls, take them to the track and find out.

well put it this way, a lightly modified r33 should beat a brand new f6 typhoon, a hsv gts, and the new cobra... (claimed 0-400m times of 13.9, 13.7 and 14.5? respectively) at least thats what i recall from wheels mag.

calais? please...

im interested in what tyres youre running and what rwkw you get. i had 180rwkw with 255 bridgestones and they seem to provide excellent traction. against a fairly modded wrx i only lost half a length on the launch and then left him for dead once i grabbed second. a calais will have no traction at launch and will also weigh a shiteload more than your line. no contest i say.

havent been down the strip but id say 180rwkw is good for about a 13.5?

Funny how such a simple question can get hairy so quickly...

lol. This is why vs threads get locked.

No offence taken mate, your a noob so you obviously didn't know.

In my opinion, before it does get locked, your cars will be similar and it will come down to the driver launching and shifting etc. If you mis-shift he'll have you, if he mis-shifts he'll just be even easier to beat.

Are we talking LS2? Supposedly most of the SS series with the LS2's hit 13.6+ - so it would probably eat you.. with light mods like that you might be looking at a 14 flat with a good run.. i've seen one of the new r8's munch a gts-t running 220rw, those ls2 commo's aren't exactly slow :angry:

actually i retract my statement...well to a degree.

say if its a vy-vz calais they push 235 kilowatt. with your upgrades say u have 200. (flywheel)

if you can drive you should just take him.

remember they push alot more torque so it would be close

A newish holden v8 (non hsv) is still under 200rwkw's a stage 1 nodded 33 gtst without turbo upgrade will be similar at the treads, but 400 kilo's lighter...

But only just, champ. Any VZ/VE Series V8 would whip the arse of a stock GTST.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
