It may have been a "dakar" version. They are heaps lighter (no aircon, power windows, etc). I know a guy with one that has run a 12.0 with FMIC, intake, exhaust, boost and a slipping clutch.

At the time my GTR had run an 11.9 with FMIC, intake, exhaust, boost.

So not a whole lot of difference for the same mods.

regarding the above comments;

I dont realistically believe I would acheive anywhere near that time, the fact remains my car will still be smoking fast. And thats before I start modding it. It's no GTR, but who gives a shit; i'll be driving it soon ;)

UK 'Jap Car' mag's are weird..............i was reading one today in the news agent. they were compairing a r34 GTR with an r34 GT-T just saying what the differences is etc. what they didnt explain was why both cars had GTR badges stuck all over them. they riced up the GT-T.

tool's.

If u take any car and totally strip it, it will be quicker than a stocker. But would you want to drive around in a car with no sound insulation, a/c, radio, power windows etc?? It may be quick in a straight line but who cares, u aint gonna be dragging it 12hrs a day are ya? I would rather drive a comfortable car that is also quick but practical 2.

There are cars out there, faster than your 14 second GTS-t's, so what.

It's all about whether or not you are happy with the car as a whole, be it for looks, speed, handling or any of the car's other characteristics.

I think Skyline owners need to stop trying to take a poke at any other car, just because it's not a Skyline. Skyline's are not the be all and end all of performance, or motoring.

Can you show me an individual that has said that Skylines are the be all and end all of performance?

Not necessarily in this thread. I just feel that any time that someone mentions another car's capabilities they are just discounted on here.

Grant, this is a forum for Skyline enthusiasts and I am a fan of the series too, however I do think that credit where credit is due, the GTiR is a great bang for buck, exciting car.

Josh,

Noone is disputing that the GTI-R is a great BFYB car...just a bit sceptical on the figures provided in the context of the comment...

For the record, i previously owned a quicker LS1 than my current Skyline, so im not a biased Skyline owner

bottom line is regarding performance if you wanna spend the bucks you will get the timeslip..

Or even better you could build a tube frame chassis, then stick a big hp engine in there and drivetrain and brag to everyone how fast your car is. Just like the story you have read of this guttered Gtir that runs a fast time, big deal, as you wouldnt want to drive around in it all day would you

So in other words, you don't read everything and make uninformed and inaccurate comments on unspecified things others have written. I can see no outright bagging of the GTiR here, just some opinions on looks and some reports of what might go wrong or what to expect from mods. I guess you've not read any threads on here about crunchy gearboxes, broken ringlands, and factory turbo limits on Skylines?

As a forum I find the people here to be the least biased compared to others. You even get the occasional Skyline owner recommending something other than a Skyline when someone asks what car to buy (shock horror!)

I think S15 owners need to stop making bollocks comments in this forum.

yeah UK skyline scene looks a bit weird.....i get the impression that they call all skylines GTR's like it is the only model. it's not a common car at all........

they're not really big here in scotland. i've seen 2. a R33 GTR that gets around, looks sweet. and a R34, not sure what it was but i could hear the damn thing for miles away. and it wasnt reving hi either......infact, pretty weird. i was walking down a main road and there were hardly any cars, this 34 was doing about half the speed limit, usually the other way round!

dodgy hatch backs are what's considered 'good' here.

Ive read in a number of places that these things do like 12.9's stocko.....

unfortunately not possible.

13.3 is considered fast for a stock one

12.9 is possible with boost, exhaust and cold air.

Speak to the guys that own them.

There would not be more than 5 in OZ that can break into 11 secs and one of them has 280Kwatts at the wheels with a best of 11.4.

A GTiR B (rally model) is only about 50kg lighter and has a front diff and close ratio box so should not be 1 sec faster.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
