There's nothing in it between them . You had the Rx7 only win the races it lead starts and for the GTR the same. No clear winner at all.

Go the rx7 for ending up with no hearing and no sensation in your ass. At least they proved you can listen to your favorite tune in the GTR while doing the Touge whilst recovering from hemeroids :)

a better scoring system would be to use timing. This way, we know exaclty who's slower and who's faster. So many time I've seen a faster car chasing but uable to use its faster cornering speed as the front car is so much slower and no room to pass. It then loses out it advantage and loses in the high speed section.

This is the reason why you have certain vs battle that goes on for 5 times and it only becomes clear once someone makes a mistake. But then again, take all the result with a dash of salt on the side.

Get the rear of the rx7 to grip up more and it wouldnt be so "even"

yep they don't do that well at all. Having owed a few beefed up Rx's thats a rather big problem.

Throw some wet at it and the rx7 would be nicely landed in one of the many trees on the side of the road :D

Maybe make it 4wd?

The point of the touge is to win and at least in this case the rx7 did that...well sort of.

its funny how everyone tries to save the gtr.. ur all like those faggots from the corvette forums when they got beat

WE GOT BEAT, BY A FKN CIVIC AND A FKN RX7

get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the rx7 as an awesome handling machine i had one.. i dunno bout u rev210 but my rx7 never had traction issues... and that was crankin well over 300kw @ wheels when i done with it...

chassis was well sorted as was the suspension and everything else.. awesome car, no weight and plenty of power and grip.

Sure the GTR is an awesome piece of kit.. but its no feather weight. its a fat fat bitch and it wont be able to compete with a purpose built rx7 unless it goes on a SERIOUS weight loss program

props to the rx7.. for now :)

I think its funny all the talk of the gtr is quicker and the fd is quicker.... and after all that the Amuse S2000 would hand them both there asses on the touge.

But in saying that they dont call GTR's GODZILLA's for nothing (im bias i own one) LOL :)

Isn't the Amuse in a different touge class? 300hp?

The weight difference would make all the difference, the R could get hte power down so it could almost keep up.. the fd was horned... trtying to get the power down early to make up for the r's awd... ended up waisting time with wheel spin..... though preventing wheel spin in a car that revs that highly isnt the easiest thing in hte world... the power delivery is impossible.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
