well i own a R 33 GTS T and this afternoon as i was making my way home and 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 i 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, it was roughly 200 meters was he just playing or was it seriously close maybe another 200 meters and would i have prefered to be walking???

this has NOT changed my mind of course i still want one but maybe not for the power anymore!

any thoughts would be great!!!

Remember the driver is a factor too.

Take yesterday for example - Gerald's R34 is stock - and there was no-way in hell I could keep up with him.

Why? He's a better driver. Simple.

So... perhaps your GTR driver was taking it easy, perhaps he's juts not that quick on gear changes...

GTRs are very fast when in the right hands - just ask Jet :)

isnt straight line what we r talking about????

why does every one say.. " but prob only in a striaght line "

i dont understand this

when have you ever had a lil run with some one and ended up turning corners .. i dont know about us but ive never done a 2 fast and 2 furios job cause personally i think its stupid and more dangerious then straight line... i had the exact same arguement with a guy in an integra... he goes.. yeh u can beat me straight line but what about corners?? wtf?? when do u ever take corners at 80 90 ks on da road and how often do u go onb da track.... plus considering most . if not all 10 sec cars and under are all rear wheel drives anways...... who cares about corners...

Its not like you can't drive a RWD hard into corners either :) you just gotta choose a different line and shoot out the other side. It just takes a bit more thought and control that's all. The gts-t skylines (esp the 33) aren't that well balanced for a RWD setup as some.

I think the key is a 4WD is pretty much idiot proof where as a RWD it is less so... a lot of track cars are all RWD as well. You don't notice F1 cars being 4WD do you?? lol.

You give one unexperienced driver a FWD and another a RWD, and the FWD will be better around corners... Anyway, Honda drivers.. pft..

Mnay people have run real low thirteens (13.02) and even into the 12's with a standard GTR. Stock for stock the GTR will be considerably faster.

And for the record there is a lot more too All Wheel drive than just being idiot proof. With an experienced/knowledable they will get far more out of a car with All Wheel Drive than a rear wheel drive car as it allows the driver to get more power too the ground at any one time as well as allowing the driver to get on the power far earlier into the corner and too do it with more gusto. Of course you can get a 2wd car around corners quick but it is a different league in regards AWD. Some AWD car have excessive understeer as they turn into a corner and push through when pushed too hard. The GTR does not suffer this but can have excessive oversteer but small mods can alter this to make the car extremely neutral in it handling when combined with the traction that AWD provides it is hard to beat when really pushing through the twisty stuff.

Mick.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
