Steve Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Is that all you have to write?Cos Im quite interested to learn otherwise. I am sorry, the vain of your post, as I interpreted it was that you were making a statement, not asking a question. The truth of it is, as Rob stated, most grey imports at the higher end of drag racing, both here and in Japan, use manual transmission. Manual is the norm, auto isnt.

Regards, SKYLINE.... 308rwkw to 448rwkw. That's one hell of a jump in power! Maybe it made 308 on 0.5 bar & they ran 1.5bar on Salon day? 308rwkw I certainly believe.

skyline Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 The 308 is the true figure that the car made,how the reading got so highat autosalon is a mystery either a glitch on the dyno itself or someone has played with the figures so that it would win the event.The pity of it is that this recorded reading is and will be listed in the all time power readings achieved at autosalon,which is akin to barbi wining the whole years dyno runs by blowing everyone away with one run and having those figures backdated so that it wins every round and gets the back dated points! (I figure if your not there on the day you dont win! It just shows youto what lenghts they will go to so their prefered favourites win.)Also what it does do is make it hard for you me and the average punter to get onto these rcorded records when doctored figures are being posted as fact.

Steve Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Good thought, now that you have a tough engine with a low CR, buy MattRs HKS turbo - hello 350-400 rwkw easy.

whatsisname Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 350rwkw is a bit too much for my engine to manage Hip. Edit - Not too much for the engine but I doubt my current turbo combo has enough in it. A big dyno number is all well & good, but I'd rather run decent numbers at AIR I'd love to put MattR's HKS on, but the budget won't allow it (actually I've got the $$$ but the Mrs won't allow it ) Oops!

SR910 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 In drag racing auto will always be king. I dont know why the japs keep manual, i think they rather keep it the way it is rather then running quicker times. They seem to be set in there ways and dont like to change. But auto and turbo cars in australia is definatly on the increase. Look at the mick guys r32 gtr, uses a 2 speed power glide built by MV autos and ran low 10 sec pass off the trailer! the rigolies accent dropped nearly a second from going from manual to auto. Try 9s and various other sub zero vuilt skylines all auto. All the quick top 10 vl turbos auto. FJ 20 200B in adleiade that runs low 10's. Its only a matter of time that autos become move avalible for gtr's et that they will become more popular.

whatsisname Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 SR910, AFAIK the Japanese prefer to keep a manual gearbox so as to have more of an all round 'street' drag car. Of course auto is the way to go for straight line speed, no doubt about that. It all comes down to compromise. How far is one willing to go to be fast over 400m & compromise the rest of the 'street' car package? To me personally, I see an R32 GT-R with a 2sp Powerglide as a horrible waste. I'd rather a low/mid 11sec GT-R that can handle the twisty stuff as well as the straight line stuff, than a 10sec 2sp pig. When you're talking BIG horsepower record breaking stuff (ie Kier, John, Mario, Croydon NZ etc...) then it's a different story. The defect list on the ex-JMS R33 would be nasty Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29890-sa-cars-spotted-thread/page/3/#findComment-614335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
32godzilla Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Matt, I was thinking about putting a powerglide in the GT-R, yeah and then putting a 350 Chev it in with a Ford 9-inch... what do you reckon??
