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?

lol get up on the wrong side of the bed today did we? your a clown mate,if you dont have anything constructive to say dont say any thing at all!

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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
