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.

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
