Well into the top 10, being 4wd and basically purpose built it will flog em on the track....also the straight they use isn't huge so terminal speed shouldnt come into it. Its a stretch but it may well choke your chicken... as stated purpose built 4wd it will be right at home.

Edited by madbung

One things certain it'll be quicker than the monaro......that'll do :(

I still reckon it'll surprise a few with it's tractability regardless of weight, none of the top 10 cars are quarter mile animals...quick but they don't put the GTR to shame and the majority are also rwd..well balanced yeah but the nissan should be pretty flat and quick around that track.

There's no way it will make the top 10. These aren't your 'everyday supercars'; they're hyper cars. I love GTR's as much as the next guy, but basically every car in the top 10 is in another league.

Even with my Skyline blinkers on I'd have to agree.

Would love to be proved wrong though.

Would the 180k limiter be an issue on that track?

Don't forget how well the R35 GTR did at the timeattack. 1.01 stock... look up other stock cars around tsukuba.

The 360 Challenge Stradale did 1.02 around Tsukuba, and is in 14th place on the top gear times.

So yeah i agree with Snowy. Faster than the GT3, but slower than the Carerra GT. Around 7th-15th is my guess. I just hope it's not raining when they do it, i hate when they test cars in the wet, hard to judge against other cars then.

However I think below gets best quote of this thread :(

smoke the tyres harder than a VL at a wedding so i'll go 11th behind the Ascari KZ1

Anyone got that photo?? hahahaha

maybe..it did well around the 'ring as its a LONG track...on a short track the more nimble cars should school it...i think ur right..like 10/11th...its 1740kg and 480hp..the weight just seems to be too much of a problem on a short track...

Except it's already "school"ing the light cars around short tracks such as Tsukuba.

small track... turbo power delivery... depends on usable power, the length of gearing vs power band... its great to have 5 kajillion jigawats... but if your having a hard time keeping yourself in that band then its pretty useless... yes I know they car is a 4lt tt.. so in theory should have excellent mid range but all comparisons Ive read have not been very tight courses.... almost anything with a reasonable shift seems to get power down on those tracks.

small courses with hard turning.... all that weight changing direction and not so much use of power could be something exceptionally crap... then again... the car probably is tuned pretty well and stock turbs would deliver power pretty low in the range... cant wait to see the effects on turn in with the newer system and .. well... we know if it manages to turn it will exit pretty fast..........

scary ride though shift the low slung wieght... well atleast it wont be so easy to flip... provided your on tar.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
