I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of any vids showing a GTR and a Hayabusi dragging. Just want to settle a bit of a dispute with a mate and would love to see it anyway.

If not a Hayabusa, then maybe other quick bikes R1 etc and of course with a win to the GTR.

Thanks!

I have a video of a modified Supra dragging a stock Hayabusa. Would that help your dispute?

And a win to the GTR would prove what exactly? That you can tailor-build your own car for $80k+ that will beat a $15k motorcycle?

No, actually it would prove that a street registered car is capable of beating a $35000 bike or one of the quickest bikes around which is what he does not believe.

You could tailor build your own car for $80000 or you could just buy an R32 for $41000 with 850hp which is what I am test driving on Tuesday.

Of course a street registered car is capable of beating a Hayabusa.

It all depends on how much money you have to sink into the car. Oh, and just because it's street registered, doesn't mean it's street LEGAL, which it won't be.

Anyway, this is comparing a HEAVILY, HEAVILY modified car vs. Stock Hayabusa.

How about a modified street car vs. modified Hayabusa? Bye Bye Mr. Street Car :D

Saw a turbo-charged blue Hayabusa run at the creek once.  Man that thing flew...  Would hate to think what it would take in dollars on a street car to beat it.

I would even venture to say it would be near impossible for a street car to beat it.

Stock busa does low-mid 10s... What would a worked (turbocharged, etc) busa run? mid-high 8s? low 9s?

How many 8 seconds cars do you know? Now ask yourself how many of them are true "street cars"? :)

But the thing is, with bikes that quick and powerful, there aren't that many riders out there that can launch them at their full potential, as they're scared of flipping the thing, or flying off the back.... and rightly so! I'd wet myself piloting a busa down the 1/4 mile, let alone a turbocharged one!!!! :D:)

Hayabusa at Final Battle was converted to 3-wheel, was turbo charged, and had NOS. Talked to the owner, and he said it's run a 5.5 1/4 mile assisted by NOS, and a 7.5 without NOS. And for some reason, it's registered as a car, because of the 3 wheels, and so he doesn't need to wear a helmet....insane

Martin Donnon once pondered in an Aussie mag (prob Hot4's) what it would be like to take the 1300cc motor from a Hayabusa and fit it to a Cappuccino.

Would LOVE a crack at one of those on a track! (Round a track not just straight along it though :D )

I don't know what you've been smoking, but a Hayabusa does not cost anywhere near $35k. Unless you're talking about adding $20k worth of mods of course. But if you're talking about mods, see other people's posts above.

well my mate told me they were $33000 + on roads but anyway I got some vids....thanks guys.

Brand new they are just under $20k. Second hand you can get them for under $13k. $15k is about average. Have a look on Tradingpost if you don't believe me. For $35k a Hayabusa would be running 8's easily. I think there's a turbo kit for around $10k, plus you lengthen the swingarm to help stop it looping.

I'm not saying that one is better than the other, all I'm saying is by having a GTR that can beat a Hayabusa is only proving that you have more money to burn.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
