And people have gone mid 10s with DOT tyres in full interior "GTS" Skylines running 2.5litre engines and lowly GT3582Rs (under 400wkw). Hell one of my mates did a fair number of 10.6-10.8s runs with a stock bottom end RB25 25T, so one would imagine the same thing on full slicks - stripped out and a 3litre on it would go quicker again. Thats before you get into the fact this car would be making half the power again.....

Here is the rest of what i said, I clearly did have some involvement in the thread, by saying that neither car is really suited for drag racing in standardish form.

As a matter of fact that if I was talking to someone about this in person, I would say that it's a pointless idea.

So...how about you take some of your own advise and STFU, this is what forums are about...If no one replied to questions (even if they arn't what the OP wants to hear) than forums would cease to exist.

I don't think the question was "will the cars make it" or "are they good drag cars". The question was, ad-libbing, "Which car would be faster?"

How do you know the cars aren't set up to withstand the quarter mile?

u can see photos of my build thread here i dont have many recent photos to show, the pics in the build thread are about 5 months old just after i picked it up from dt panels

what tires u gonna use?

yeah im close to 150k... heres a basic rundown of the costs

car was 30k

engine is 40k

gearbox is 10k

clutch, diff, tail shaft etc 10k

thats 142k

also my best mate is building it and i help out where i can so im saving heaps on labour as well

Your mate is building it and its STILL costing 40k for a 26/30? :ninja:

I could see it being 25-30k total for big setup... but another 10k on top... that is some serious ouch.

You'd want some nice brand names for 40k, same with the clutch/tailshaft, that all should be 5k tops! ;)

A T04Z R33 GTR will be a 10s, a GT42R GTt SHOULD be in the single digits if everything is done right.
Curious, how fast do people expect the T04Z GTR to go?

A T04Z/Slicks GTR & dog box is a 9 IMO.

440rwkw+ will get to low 10's on semi's & a H pattern... So i could see the single digit ET for the GTR easily enough

Of course that's all the "variables" covered off and all.

my mate is not the boss unfortunately, he works for a workshop and the car is there and he is building it but i do have to pay his boss for his time.

and yes there are some serious brands going into it.

as well as many custom made parts.

Enough with the theory talk. Take them to the track and see. Also 140k on a car? Wow, do you still live at home?

ahh no mate i bought my only place when i was 22

i got 2 houses now ;)

and im only 25

Not being rude here, but seriously 40k for a 26/30?

I'm having a VERY hard time adding that up. Even with a billet 86mm crank and brand name parts for the rest i can't add it all up.

Mind posting an engine spec list please? I hate hearing of people getting ripped off

i agree with you on this my mate built a jun 2.7 litre t51r motor for less, sounds like someone is overcharging....

i dont feel as though im getting overcharged at all

engine will be able to produce over 1000hp

off the top of my head here is a spec sheet please bear in mind that this is not every thing

rb30 block

brand new r34 gtr rb26 head

custom pistons

custom billet oil pump

conrods

custom girdle

6 boost manifold

gt42r turbo

60mm tial gate

hypertune manifold - the larger one

hypertune fuel rail

hypertune throttle body - the larger one

ati 1000hp balancer

tomei cam shafts

tomei cam gears

larger valves

valve springs

1000cc injectors

machine work - porting, polishing

custom loom

oil restrictors in the head

ignition system

fuel system - 2 pumps, surge tank, braided lines etc

pwr radiator

pwr custom cooler (may change to arc)

pwr oil cooler (may change to trust)

all the pulleys on the front of the engine i think tomei

massive water pump

custom catch tank

splitfires

massive custom sump

thats just off the top of my head i have a 2 page list of all the shit thats going into the engine

then add fittings, braided lines and all the little bullshit stuff u need

redline will be over 9000rpm

i really dont feel like i need to justify what im doing either this is my project car and this is what i wanna do with it quite frankly if any one doesnt like it they can go f**k themselves

also to everyone saying go out and race - thats the plan but only when they r both finished i started this thread to have a debate about what kind of numbers car with this sort of power pull down the quarter, not to have a debate about wether or not i live at home etc.

cheers

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
