ok so this is the situation.

this dude i know is nearly finished his r33 gtr im not going to go into to many specifics but its an r33 GTR with a rb26/30 with a to4z making around 600 4wheel kw

i have an r34 GTT with a 26/30 and gt42r when tuned it should have 700hp

now the debate is who will be faster down the quarter mile

both cars are fairly stripped and caged

both cars have dog boxes

both with drag slicks etc

both drivers around the same sort of skill

neither of us will be at the track till around october so i just wanna hear what sau reckons

thanks

Do you mean 600hp or 600kw because i am yet to see a to4z make 600rwkw on what ever fuel.

both will be quick, but the gtr will have the traction off the line, and that makes a big difference.

peak hp is only part of the equation. where each turbo makes it's power will play a big part too because if the gtt has less down low the gtr will pull away off the line even more.

suspension setup will play a bit part as well. if the gtt has stiff suspension (for a track setup rather than drag) then the gtr will pull away off the line even more as it will have better traction. stiff suspension = poor traction.

as a bit of an indication of things, i had/have an old motor magazine where they ran a v8 supercar, a porche 911 gt3 and a formula ford down a 1/4 mile (think it was setup on a runway). all 3 ran similar times (think the v8 supercar was a fraction quicker). the porsche and the formula ford both killed the v8 off the line (had one of the taller diffs in it, plus they are just hard to launch at the best of times). the acceleration times were a true indication of the power though. i think the v8 supercar was a full second quicker from 80 to 120, and the trap speed was much higher on the v8 (was very high for the time it ran)

unless the GTT has a good suspension setup id put my money on the GTR winning as you are going to have traction issues in 1st and 2nd possibly even 3rd gear in which time the GTR will just walk away from you. both cars starting at 100km/h would be a different story though.

You can have the fastest car in the world, but it all comes down to the driver

hay mate

ive had several fast cars and i wouldnt be investing 150,000 into a car if i didnt know how to drive would i

my question was about the cars with equal drivers skill.

marc

ill have some pretty good suspension setup and wide as f**k rims on the back ill be investing heavily on traction and keeping it down as best i can.

mickey thompson drag slicks should be good enough lol.

also throwing the whole nismo suspension arms catalogue at it

lol

i can see it braking traction in 4th gear pretty easily hahaha

Agreed. And to the guys saying an AWD will have a quicker launch, not always. RWD is just as fast if you can get the grip, it's just getting it is not easy. Ask any top end drag racer. They've kept RWD for a reason. If you can put the power down with just the rear wheels, you can be just as quick, if not quicker. Why do you think Top Fuel still runs RWD? It's not for nostalgia's sake.

Well if that is the case, looking from a hypothetical point of view, the GTR will win....

will it be coilovers with a somewhat heavy spring rate? for drag racing you'd nearly be better off with the stock suspension as it allows plent of weight transfer over the rear wheels. that is where the awd of the gtr gets its advantage. it can run a slightly stiffer suspension and still get off the line better as the front wheels will pull it as well.

to be honest though, i don't think you will know for sure until you actually race. the reason being that while you may be both experienced, how much experience do you got have with cars with the sort of power level you are going to be putting out?

ive got friends who have cars in the 7 sec bracket (not skylines) but from what i can see and experienced dyno figures and the race are 2 totally different things , quoting a friend when i say dyno results mean sh*t! he got really poor results on the dyno then turned it around on the track with times.

like status says the other variables mean hell of a lot , track temp , overall weight of the cars, outside temps, track conditions , the better reaction time..

on paper id say the GTR but only the race will tell.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      Nismo rear spats

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      Rb26/30 build

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
