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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
