Lately there've been a couple threads about how mildly modded Silvias/200SXs beating GTR-Vpecs and so on, I know the GT-R isn't invincible, but stiill....guess it's fun when you have a "Brags & Stories" section.

Here's an excerpt:

"i pulled up next to a white R33 GTR at the lights. He had a APEXI front mount, exhaust and carbon bonnet.

I tried to get him to run from the lights, but he took off slow.(Prob thought he'd beat me).

Anyway, i revved my car as we took off, he looked over, i nodded at him and he smiled and nodded back.

2nd gear takeoff rolling start, as soon as we take off its me just in front. I change to third and he pulls slightly ahead(my sychnros are stuffed), as i rev out third i pull aprox 2 cars on him."

2 cars! no sh*t!:bahaha:

beating one wouldn't be hard as gtr's aint quik standard...i've seen light modded sr20det s13's runnin low 13's, high 12's and have also seen someone on this forums dk purple 33gtr (vspec?) run a high 13 or somethin at the plex, so maybe the guy that said he beat one wasn't full of shit...

A hard launched GTR is good for mid 12's which takes an Sr20 engined car a fair bit of work to get to.

A dud launch on a GTR will give mid 13's as a lot of GTR owners don't want to abuse the clutch that much.

try a rollon in 3 rd gear and see where a SR20 near stock vs a near stock GTR is at the end....

problem is these days there are so many done up skylines that ppl can't tell the difference between gt-r and gts/gtst

especially ignorant silvia drivers :D hehehe

also the 33's are that little bit harder to tell if their guards are pumped etc etc since they have less aggressive panels than the 32's and 34's

I'd say the guy got his facts wrong and actually beat a 33gtst

funny stuff:bahaha:

with comments like:

"if GTR are such great cars why aren't they in rally?":rolleyes:

And some guy's response:

"Also yep GTRs were never meant to be rally cars, you can't just say because they have all an AWD system why aren't they in rallies? There is a hell of a lot more to rallying than just having AWD."

Correction - ATTESA System:D

why can't we all just be friends?

anyway, like kengtr said, to launch a gtr quick you need plenty of revs so they dont bog down, so if you make a halfhearted attempt you might be watching hyundai wrxs beating you

Have to agree with PSIKO that there are many GTR look-alikes.

Having said that, the smile from the Skyline owner might have also been a "yeh whatever" look and was laughing at the guy having a real go. It may also have been aknowledging a nice Nissan.

Quote from Wife: It just would not happen if I owned a GTR.

Myself I would probably just let him go as the Skyline owner did.

Enjoy!

Thats exactly what i thought ..... slap a GTR badge on my GTST and it would be difficult to tell the difference between that and a real GTR on the road.

When i was shopping for a Skyline i noticed how many GTSTs/NA's had GTR badges!!

But even if it was a real GTR there couldve been many factors why he didnt take this guy on :P .....underlying mechanical problems or the fact that he doesnt just take every car on that revs their engine beside him ..... the fact he may only have a point or two left on his license and not wanna risk it.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
