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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
