how is comparing the new GT-R to the old RB26 powered ones useless? :)

no, it's not the one Nissan was displaying- it's the black one from fabcar in WA that had a thread started about it a while back

by useless comparo i mean, we already know the results.

Now when the first 997 Turbo v Z06 v R35 came out, THAT was interesting, because we honestly didn't know what the GTR was really going to be like head-to-head. We had a pretty good idea that it should hold it's own, but we didn't know that it would demolish all except for the half mil jobs like the Superleggera/GT2, etc...

And then subsequent comparisons such as the new M3 or the 997 GT3, were also an unknown. On paper the M3 should have done alright, but it was destroyed and who would have thought even the GT3 would have gone down!

So those were good comparisons, because they were the GTR's contemporary rivals, and the real competition.

20 pages of GTR is just awesome :/ and i will no doubt buy a copy, but as a comparison goes, i still think it's pretty useless.

oh no, they've been hanging with the fringe dwellers!!! quick Colin, you know have hard "intelligence" in printed form!!

I dunno about the Z06; i think on the tracks that have longer straights the vette may return faster lap times than the GTR.

But I agree, it was cool to see how the R35 would do against other fast cars. I'm still waiting for a comparo against the superlegerra.

just read the article, hardly surprising.

What I would like to see, time and time again would be a comaprison between a REAL R32, 33, 34. Yes, the crazy ones you see on Youtube from Japan. Yes, the Twin 3037 equipped R33. Yes to the T04Z R32s and definitely YES to the crazy mofos with Twin 2530s running at 29psi. I would pay to see all that and I probably will once Tuner Battle Royal starts.

this is true, hard to compare the two cars stock vs stock as we know the later is going to finish up ontop.

I think it would only be fair to wait untill the aftermarket truly kicks off with the R35 untill this battle can take place.

All the garages top spec cars head to head would be very interesting!

possibly next years superlap @ tsukuba will be of high intrest for this..

:down:

I just bought the mag; I've only read the comparo with the older GTR's. I felt they were a little too harsh, considering the R33 and R32 are getting seriously old - they were light years ahead of many other cars at the time.

I'm the first to agree that GTR's aren't the be all and end all of performance cars, but I think they have to put the older cars into pespective - I'd like to see how a VS HSV or a 993 Carrera would compare to an R33 GTR.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
