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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
