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.

If anybody cares to prove this theory wrong, lets go! :D

oK TIME TO PROVE U WRONG hehehe (sorry about caps)

This kit is build for corvette but as the GTS has the same block LS1, it will fit with a few minor mod.

I dont think you could get something like that in australia for a hsv :bahaha:

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..

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
