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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
