Here's a crazy thought, you could just go to the drags and race him :)

There'd probably not be as much in it as you'd think i'd say. The weight difference would help the r33 alot. But so many variables its hard to guess

Your kidding right they are not the goods & know people blowing them up there rods arent the best there chinese specials at $60 a pop

Trust me there not what there made out to be due poor cheap engine internals.

There was a complete test done in serious performance 7 dvd i think.

power wise the xr6 was much better but on the track the race drivers chose the r34 gtt (same thing as r33 gts-t) hands down.

Must be manual though with minor mods and suspension work.

The bigger and heavier xr6 will always be a family car pudding of a thing.

is the skyline turbo? :(

depends if it was built to be a drag car etc etc, XR6T are fairly quick, theres a Typhoon around here with 300rwkw which can just beat a mates HR31 Passage with a NEO and a HKS 2540 hanging off it - thats running the original Stagea computer and 14psi. Traction would probably be the main issue I guess?

just out of interest how far behind do you think a 300kw xr6 auto would leave a 300 hp auto r33 in the dust.just got a bit of a wager going, got a mate who reconds 60 meters over the 400 .what ya recon

The XR6 turbo is measured in kW's and you measured your car in HP..?

XR6 T = 300kW (402HP)

Weight (Approx 1723kg)

R33 GTS-T = 223kW (300HP)

Weight (Approx 1500kg)

You decided LOL! :(

Give him a run and see how well you go I say. Drop your rear tyre pressures slightly and practice a good spool up launch technique. You may surprise yourself.More so if he stuffs the take off and you nail a good jump on him. It wouldnt be the first time a car which was inferior on paper won the race-and it wont be the last.

Give your car a bit of a service..clean out air filter, oil change, check plug gaps etc...all may sound stupid but it does help..Just a shame you cant up the boost just a little bit

Heck on one of my old cars i had a bag of ice sitting on my Supercharger while I was waiting for the guy..helped too !

Stock engine from 02 to 06 would handle just over 300rwkw without any work (Valve springs may need upgrade)

From 06 all engine internal were the same as the F6 Handling well over 300rwkw.

RB26 stock die when pushed over 300rwkw so are you saying they uses cheap crap parts aswell??

There is one point that everyone is forgetting.

The XR6 turbo produces a lot more torque than the R33 would at the same horsepower figures due to the fact it has a 1.5L advantage over the RB25. The dyno graphs of a 300kw Rb25 vs a XR6T 300kw would be very different.

Horsepower figures don't mean jack if you haven't got the torque or the bottom end power to get it moving.

Depending on grip available and choice of transmission the XR6T would almost always win hands down.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
