I'd like to see 8 seconds flat on a G tech timer with a standard N/A...won't happen...and if it does, you'll have to be bang on the mark with launch and gear change. It'll be closer to 9 on average. Still decent for a daily driver but don't expect to be beating Commodores and Falcons unless they are shit drivers.

Damn. That's as slow (or fast?) as my 2010 Mazda 3...and no it wasn't an MPS!

It's slower than my fat magna too, but speed really isn't everything. I think na drivers have a sh!t time of it, I was looking at gts's them for my p-plated brother and they're just too expensive. r33 s1 gtst's are now as low as 6k, and not for a shocking example either! Just gotta remember that it's an aweful lot more fun than the magna, and in any sort of traffic they're as fast as a veyron

Rofl.

Sure its not a 20E?

Maybe he's just honest, shifted lazily, didn't go to heaps of effort to time it, didn't get a formula 1 star start, doesn't have ideal suspension or tyres etc... did i mention honest? A lot more na skylines can do 12.4 than can do 8 flats.

My point being, sisters SR20DE auto, just punching drive got 10secs...

well i was lazy and scared of an animal runing in the road as i was trying it so it was not going to be the best. but i do need more practice of corse but hey it is what it is verry bad cant say it was good at all. not even for a first try ever for a 0/100 in any car so im going to try it again but not going to let it ruin my day cuz it was a slow time.

If you want to do it seriously do it at the drag strip. Otherwise you're just begging to get booked unfortunately.

Just because he did a 12.4 doesn't mean the engine isn't up to scratch, it just means he wasn't trying to put his license on the line or hurt anyone.

Hope you're not letting these guys get on your nerves. To to an awesome 0-100 you have to nacker the car, like really punish it. You also should do it on a hot day, on very expensive street legal tyres. You should be on stock suspension, or modified suspension for the strip, you have to have you're foot hard on the brake and build up the revs heaps, giving hell to the torque converter. Then when you go you have to make sure you're getting good productive wheelspin from those super expensive tyres (tyre have the most grip at ~10-15% slippage) etc etc.

In a manual skyline for example, you'd only get 5-10 hardcore goes on a stock clutch before it was ruined.

no no i know people are just havin fun im just saying its not going to ruin my day :thumbsup: . i knew i should have added a smile but left it out so my bad .

well i did it on an empty road where i could see if there was anyone around i dont plan to do it for the heack of it. besides all i need is a wallabe bouncing into my front bumper to make my day :yucky:

I don't get it.

I sat at lights on a highway, where the speed limit is 100.

Light changed, foot off brake, onto accelerator, push accelerator to floor, 2 hands on steering wheel?

Granny snail driver in their white box Corolla see you doing this & not taking 1-2 minutes to accelerate up to 100km/h (like the rest of the snails on the road), think to themselves "bloody f**ken hoons" & call the hoon hotline on you for hooning... :whistling:

Also I keep on hearing that Police can book you for "excessive acceleration", however I've yet to find that particular clause in the traffic hand book.

    • 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.
