i think the C5 weighs in at 1497kg from HPI no.32, which coincidentally is in my hands.... isn't a R33 GTS-T around 1300kg? or is that a R32 GTS-T i'm thinking about....... well an R33 GT-R is 1560kg..... so, not much in it..... up the boost a bit, and they'll both be head to head..... C5 vs R33 GT-R that is..... a holden GTS, weighs in more than 1700kg(?? correct me if i'm wrong, most V8's are more than 1600kg right?)

btw, how much are most of those kits for the LS1 cost?

wow, warranty with the 550hp kit, hehehe, if only that could happen with installed hardware on a jap car

I killed an old guy (50's?) in a yellow GTS once but there was a bit of traffic so couldn't go for long.. I think he was trying to say "i'll show these punk kids with their jap crap".. I was in front in a few metres. He wasn't happy.

Hopefully i made him revert in his midlife crisis ;)

Pred - hehehe, I love your work... ;)

I remember one bloke in an old beaten up EH go past me (turning right at the lights) while I was stopped and yelled out "jap crap" out his window. Then his car backfired, almost stalled, and just made it across the lights before they turned red.

I was like WTF???? LOL

Anyway, that's waaayyyyyy off topic...

and yes im pretty sure 1 of this kit would give a Jap Mod GTR a run 4 its money (who would win would be done to spec and dirver)

The Lingenfelter Corvette that does 9's on drag radials is the 427cu (~7litres) twin-turbo, the small block ones do 10's or worse.

And FYI, the Veilside R32 does an 8.6 1/4 on Nitto's, not to mention plenty in that class that are only a few tenths behind. And there are shitloads of private street-legal GTR's in Japan that do 9's.

Ahaha and 4 the comment of small block ones, z06 ls6 do anywhere from 9 to 10second on streets

im not tring to start a flame war but it really does shit me that SOME skyline people think that they r the best car for watever reason. i know skyline r badass car which can run some wicked 8/9sec 1/4mile but it isnt the only car

Too true. I was a very one-eyed Skyline nut when I owned an R32. After a while, the novelty wore off. I saw the light and traded it for a WRX (Just kidding:D ). I came to appreciate all cars for what they are.

I still like the skylines, but now realise that they certainly aren't the be-all and end-all of motoring. whether it has a rotor, V8, I6, I4, Boxer or whatever, I really don't care too much. as long as it's quick, and fun to drive.

It's fun giving stick to a V8 on a race track, (proper one with corners and all), just as it's fun giving stick to turbo Skylines. By the same token, when a 450hp at the wheels GTR beats my times (in the dry at least), I can appreciate the performance of these things. I'd like to line up a standard GTR tho - I think it'd be a close race.

I digress. As Soulja said, nothing makes a forum more boring than the brand slagging that some members engage in.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
