doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out that race.

Nissans done pretty well there imo. nearly as quick, 1000 times better in every other department and has a warranty :(

civic hauls ass but its not surprising.

its like supercharged greyhound v a standard sausage dog.

R35 GTR isnt a drag car pure and simple.. it wasnt built for drag racing. The fact that it posts a pretty quick time is credit to Nissans engineering. As for the civic beating it.....No big deal...that car has been built for that kind of speed.look at its power to weight ratio...Any car with the right amount of work and money sowed into it can run considerably faster drag times...Hell I have seen a turbo 250 cortina run 9's, even a 202 commodore run 10's.I even know a guy with a 351 XB falcon single 4 barrel carb, no NOS cast heads that runs a 10 flat...its not impossible...just relative to how much has been done to it..

who cares if its a fair race..the GTR got destroyed

That comment is so stupid it wouldn't even have been made on ns.com.

A race is meant to be a competition, and its not really competitive if you have a level playing field. If they ran a stock Civic against a GT-R I wouldn't consider it a race either. Parking a family hatch against a supercar isn't fair either.

If they were running 2 cars (1 modified drag car, 1 standard street car) side by side then yeah, whatever. If its not a race (or they're racing against a time set for each car rather than for position against each other) then yeah, who cares.

I'm more of a "who cares at all"? Maybe I should post footage of me running a red light on a bicycle in front of a Veyron, and then say how my two wheeler is faster than the world's quickest car because I "beat" it.

Good on the owner of the civic.

For those who think that teh GTR can nevar lose, that the video is pointless etc etc, youve well and truly missed the point id say :(

Who gives a fark about lap times at the ring, when the video is about a drag race?

Everyone *knows* the GTR isnt built for drag racing. Id go so far as to say no bog stock car is.

BUT, the GTR is an impressively fast car in a straight line so its good to see someone take a car worth probably less than a fifth of the value of a GTR when new and show what they can do to it, then prove it with not only dyno figures, but a race too.

Im fairly certain the video doesnt claim for anyone to have produced a car with the looks, prestige, build quality, warranty or overall engineering of the GTR. Its just showing how quick an unassuming little 4cyl hatch can be, the GTR being the benchmark for 'quick'.

Agreed.

lol at all the peeps who didnt notice this vid was filmed in SINGAPORE and not teh U.S of A.

Damn you sure could hear that civic coming though.

Lets also try and put something into perspective. The GTR is a supposed "supercar", correct. It got pwnzred by a civic. That would take some engineering skill to get a late 90's buzzbox to toast teh champ. Bragging rights and first blood to teh civic.

Secondly, this was never meant to be a circuit sprint. A drag race was what it was. Not even Nissans engineering trickery got it past the civic. Remember also that the cars were sporting relatively equal amounts of power - The GTR even had mines gear under the body - and ofcourse the civic was much lighter but is it to blame because of it? Nope, take an advantage where you can get it.

Now..all we need to do is slim the porker GTR down a few hundred kilos./..

Put it this way, how do all the Porsche 911 Turbo owners feel when we buy a Nissan GTR and have bragging rights to setting a quicker time at Nurburgring???

more to the point how would 911 turbo owners feel if they came up against that civic! :D

Now if only someone could tune my Camry to pwn a R35, then I'm happy.

its called an aristo :D

When you go to the drags, there's a lot of cars that do slower times than this little Type R Civic would, and yet are a lot less streetable and look a lot more (scary) incomplete. It's an impressive little car with a lot of potential. There's just as many youtube clips with hondas getting smashed, don't worry! I enjoy all of it... Run what ya brung!!! But to be a Nissan rules and all else is mud kinda guy, I may as well be a typical one-eyed Holden lover - V8's to the death kinda thing!?!?!?! I'm a car lover - some more than others - some not much at all (read Hyundai/Kia/Pontiac/Holden etc!).

It accelerates.... it must be partly good!

give the gtr 2bar of boost??? dude.. fastest civic in the world is faster than the fastest GTR in the world

quit being a wanker and get over it.

the fastest GTR has run 7.5x the fwd's r in the 7.1x region

u can give the gtr as much boost as u want.. its still going to be slower down the strip.

throw some turns into the equation and u get a different result.. but we're talkin drags here, and we dont have braggin rights

Ya know...even thats under question...

So a well sorted GTR would mince a well sorted honda civic...

Hmm...evidence please.

Im sure there are some hondas out there that can claim some ground back you know...

I am sick of derrrrr "I bought a go kart put jet motor on it and it bet a GTR and it only cost me $3000" threads to compare the GTR. If you are talking mods to one car put them on the comparison Car. Yep shove snails that can handle 30lb boost and tunning engine work that the Civic has had and guess what the Civic would be spanked severley.

hey cool... it beat it. the civic owner has to be happy with that!

i might strap a rocket to my push bike then beat the gtr.

just as effective and the end result is the same.

or maybe i should just roll and apple and an orange down the road and see which one wins.

first i have to build up hype before the race and show how the apple grew on a tree and how it was picked and then washed down with water... u know its all crucial plot points for the big race.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
