Hehehe, I've had a quick run with a GTS.

It was a rolling start from about 20km/h to 140km/h.

There was nothing in it upto about 110km/h then I was just (and I mean JUST) pulling away.

I was totally shocked as was the bloke in the GTS :D

At that stage I had a turbo back 3 inch exhaust, 12psi boost, and a pod with CAI !!

Oh - I've got a 1995 GTS-t.

Not bad for a car that is about 1/4 the cost ;)

The Hsv r very crappy cars, they weight too much and dont have enough power holden really need to get them right. GTS-t should be able to hold them with not alot of mods.

The ls1 350 r around 300hp (if i remember right) they should be Mid 13second 1/4mile but they never are more like mid 14, so GTs should hold it and GTR should take it

All depends on drive, weather condition but the skyline should have the upper hand

Yepp just. When I say just I mean about half a bonnet length !! So there really wasn't anything in it.

The GTS's are very heavy. Something like 1680kg's (someone correct me if I'm wrong here), compared to the GTS-t's at about 1380kg's.

You mean it'd win if it's against a standard GT-R...

If on the other hand, the GT-R is modded with Japanese parts, it's shit over the GTS.

no they arent drag slicks car, they r street vette with street tyres. i was just saying if a kit like that was add to a hsv gts it would beat a gtr easy but then again a mod gtr is hard to beat (i have seen some really nice mod R_34)

If i remember right The 8second vette with the trubo kit had street typers (or maybe it was the 9 second)

again just tring to prove a point not up for other flame war

yes all that can be done no doubt with even street tyres i still believe you, but yes these kits cost money, and these cars are set up for drag racing with solis rear ends and usually mini tubs, (not all some) the most basic superchargers kit and all the essentials on a ls1 sets you back say 8g, spend that same 8g on a new r34gtr (apples for apples both new cars) and i bet the gtr wins again and i dont care if they are jap, german, english or aus parts...... Also dont forget there is about 30-40GTR's in japan that run low nines or 8's with street tyres... Not bagging the gts had one for a while there well dad did but, c'mon this thread is ridiculous its apples n oranges chalk n cheese one is a purpose built performance vechicle and one is a performance vechicle made from a purpose built fleet car, both have strong and week points but no need to have stupid arguements and prove you wrongs about them..

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
