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

Yes, skylines aren't the fastest car on the road.. but considering the majority of the more expensive cars out there are stock standard (for many reasons) the skyline often comes out on top.

Don't also forget differences between the road and the strip. I have this theory, which might well be b.s. so u can call it if u want ;) but anyway, as the commodores are a lot heavier (was it 100kg = 30rwkw?.. discussed here previously) they probably have better weight distribution so they can stick to the road a lot more. On the strip this is actually amplified as its a smoother surface and a bit of weight in certain cars can actually help.

The skylines are *very* tailhappy, and struggle for grip on a smooth surface. I've noticed this in the wet, no chance for even a light drag or else it'll go sideways. On an "average" bitumen road though, which is very textured which helps grip (at least in melb, i know streets around oz vary a lot) its not hard to get a rocket launch...and the race should be the skylines if you've got around 180rwkw.

If you do the power to weights on a skyline and GTS Monaro they are very similar - so it all comes down to how the power gets to ground. I'm still only talking stock GTS versus modified GTS-T though.

But you can call b.s. on me if you like :)

Lingenfelter 427 Corvette

The Lingenfelter 427 Twin Turbo Corvette runs 8.95 @ 153 MPH! street Corvette in the 8's/

Pfft I was 0.05 seconds off. (you do know that drag radials are considered street legal?)

I'm not a "skyline person". I don't even own a skyline, I just know they are better than corvettes. This "oh we have to respect all cars" crap is exactly that - crap. In life, some things are better than others.

mates stock VX GTS ran a 13.2 @ 108mph.. with tweaks it would be up there witha  gt-r.. especially on a rolling run

c'mon it's not totally stock. :P

I think this particular vehicle will beat most stock gtrs on a rolling run.

ahaha not even worth replying too :bahaha: :P:):O :O

Yes i would say GTS-T r about the same as Gts and GTR should blow them away but it all depends it isnt a perfect world

true Ethan, except that a lightly modded GTS/GTO will run a 12 not a 13. and in eithercase any gen3 commodore lightly touched will beat a gts-t as they were comparing after its established.

And for those who harp on about prices. the GT-R's have in each series when new been over $100,000's as well so its a moot point. Also i do love the gt-r but getting fed up with these newer board members harping on and on about import vs domestics

if the standard engines die all by themselves, i wouldn't have much faith in their longevity by modding them. But, i've never owned/driven/modded one so prob be wrong. But with full engine rebuilds after 15,000km's, u gotta wonder...

hey guys, this is all turning into like one of those american threads, domnestic vs imports..... i don't want it to turn into one of these!! they go on forever!!!! i was at car and driver(?) forum, and one of these threads went on for like 10 or so pages, bash this, bash that..... my point.... leave whatever be, if someone likes the domestics, let them have their opinion of what's best..... if someone likes imports, let them have their opinion of what's best.....and i mean no disrespect to anyone, i just want the bickering arguments over which is better, to stop... plz

    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
