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.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
