it all comes down to the driver, and thats what makes racing even more fun cause you can get a retarded driver in a "quick" car get its ass handed to it by someone with no mechanical sympathy in a slower car. My younger bro has a 95 gtst which is stock besides a fmic, exhaust and 14psi (no tune) and he got a 13.3 at kwinana motorplex, i dont see a stock calias doing that.

So if you can launch your car well, and hit gears hard, theres no reason why you cant get him in a straight line imo

your post makes no sence.

you say its stock, but it has modifications on it?

I really dislike these "vs" threads also...however owning similar cars, I thought I'd join in!

I had a VT exec - 6 speed 5.7L - made 213rwkw with just exhaust and LS1edit.

I now have my r33 with a few mild mods makes the same power and the 33 with lighter weight, seat of the pants feel is quicker, and also was quicker at WSID also.

However I had to mod the skyline more than the commodore.

You will find both cars have a similar power to weight ratio - so comes down to driver factor, suspension set up and tyres.

These discussions will never end though!!

ok heres my 2 cnets worth]

honestly

it comes down to the driver

i got smash a gtr in a stock charade if the guy in the gtr din no how to drive it

it all comes down to skill

i got a vn sv8

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
