well i own a GTS T R 33 and this afternoon as i was making my way home i come across an R 33 GTR V-Spec, (well yes the car of my dreams!) so slowly i creep behind as we aproch the lights! the driver notices me and gives a little grin (mind you driver is roughly in his 40's) lights are green and he lets the clutch out leeding me to belive he is just another old fart driving a magnificent car at only a quarter of its potential, but then with a fuel dump bluring my vision for a split second he was gone! wow its on. releasing all possiable horses i grab the stick shift to second then third pulling beside him at the next red light!

his wife also older giggling and smilling as i chuckle and listen to the sound of two magnificant cars stalling at about 2200rpm (well thats what i was at) lights are green and where off (RACING) so off the lights wheel spinning (as all GTS T's do) i find my self only half a GTR behind as i click second feeling the rear trying to pass me still as try to retain traction slip to third out to about 6600rpm and were both off the gas pop to fith and puring down the road like a quire on a perfect note. but only finishing half a car behind???

THIS HAS ME PUZZLED! i understand his only got .1 of a litre more but one extra turbo and probbably 15,000 dollars more for roughly .500 of a second quicker. i dont no, was he just playing or was it seriously close??? this has NOT changed my mind of course i still want one but maybe not for the power anymore!

any thoughts would be great!!!

First of all, the RB26 is internally a lot different from an RB25 other than that 100cc difference......combined that with ATTESA, a properly launched GT-R won't let U down.

you only have to look to other 4wd cars like the EVOs to match it's 'off-the-line' response....or the midship NSX-R.

ECR 33 - having gone from a semi-modded R33 Gtst (Series 2) to a virtually bog-stock (at the time) R33 GTR. I can assure you that he was taking it easy, or couldn't drive. The GTR's have a MUCH more advanced engine and gearbox (longer gears etc) and are considerably faster than a Gtst.

If you were in Sydney, i'd take you for a drive in mine..

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
