How far away is the race...?

The GTR will be easier to drive than the 34 down the track but thats half the fun.

Only one way to find out...

If the 34 was auto I would say bye bye GTR but the manual will slow things down a little.

Sure there will be dozens of them, but the fastest 1/4 mile skyline in the world right now is a gtst and it resides in England.

Average street car is always going to get its arse handed to it by an awd but a prepped track car is a different animal and I believe that is what the original poster was talking about.

Street car dude, street car.

Biiiiiig difference between a street car and a single purpose, track dedicated drag car.

So going back to the original post, I still have my money on the GTR.

If we were talking 1000HP, track specific cars where the GTT has had all the work done to get it off the line and down the track, then my money would change.

But a street car, on street wheels, the 4wd will overcome the weight disadvantage.

And if you read the thread correctly he mentioned good suspension and the right wheel rubber combination.

Done correctly it will be at least the equal of a heavier gtr.

How do you think the vl boiz run 9/10 second passes.

With 1000hp and a 4 link rear and/or mini tubs, or at least specifically set up for straight lines and straight lines only.

And VLs are generally always going to be faster, mod for mod, thanks to a live rear and more cubes.

im well aware of the differences, on the strip it will have drag rims and micky thompsons, still working out suspension atm. gotta finish the engine and body work first mate

I'm talking about 3 litre bottom ends with single cam heads on street cars mate. do some research.

As im sure you are aware, it basically comes down to how well you can get the rear end to work, if you can get it to hook up, then the weight transfer will take over, and you will be home set, as long as the toe and camber can be controlled at maximum squat, and the gearchanges dont upset it too much. Good spring/shock matching are crucial in this area

I don't need to do research. You asked how the VL boys do 10 seconds. I answered.

There's no substitute for cubes. Shoot for straight out HP and an RB26 will struggle to match a single cam RB30.

All of my comments were in response to FineLine.

If you are going to really start setting your car up for straight lines and straight liens only, then my belief that the GTR will be quicker may change. But if both cars are to remain fairly "streetable" then I reckon the GTR will still have it. All (generalisation) the really, really fast streetable Skylines are GTRs (yeah, yeah, bar a select few RWDs but my point stands).

The only way your gtt will do a quick time will be if it has an auto behind it with a decent converter.

We can all praise the VL's but these cars that are running 9's are built with monster autos and might i add a decent squirt of gas off the line.

If both cars are manual, no question its on the GTR.

Except sitting there on the trans brake getting boost going for 10hrs before leaving the line :P

I still to this day admire Haddad & similar people...

The guy drives there with his 900-1000hp ~1600kg Monaro that is quieter than a corolla - runs a 9 sec pass off the tree - drives home all on legal radials :D

You could drive the thing around the corner to the milk bar and never think it was more than a clear bodied factory car (except for that little S/C whine)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
