R34 Gtr Mods Opinions

Hi,

Don't suppose you can pm me a dyno sheet and let me know what else you've done. It's not that I don't believe you, I just thought I'd done everything to cut the lag before opening the engine.

Even with a built 26 -5s are lazy on the street

Noticeably laggier in/out of gears, in the hills etc. You have to really wring the cars neck compared to having -9s (having had both)

-5s come into their own above 150km/h, but for most people thats largely useless.

Who has 2.6's these days anyway?!

Lol

i disagree, my -5s are great on the street and in the hills they are awesome.

i dont think they are laggy at all

ive been in a very very laggy GTR, i cant handle the wait.

i think allot of it comes down to supporting mods and the tune

Driven a GTR with -9s on it on those same roads?

That's where the story tells itself i found.

It was a noticeable increase in lag as id driven the same roads with -9s for 4 months before i put on -5s recently. I also found myself having to drop a gear more often with -5s and really get up it where -9s due to coming on sooner didnt need that geardown.

The only thing in favour of -5 is they pull to 8000-8500 no problem where the -9 are finished by 7000-7500. but they come on later so it makes sense.

In effect its probably a good thing for a stock motor to have the ones that don't have you keep burying the foot to higher rpm

Oh and the above comparo is on the same motor too - built RB26, usual top and bottom end business.

Was also driving on semi's too (makes for good mountain runs )

Yes I can't say I've compared to -9s, but the 5s are definitely not lazy in the hills, but agree the revs are kept high, but the 26s love that anyway, great corner exit with it at high rpm.

-5s+poncams=response of -9s with the extra power
