Those things are blistering fast with their 85kw engine. Plus they sneak under 1 tonne and have lowered suspension over the standard models.

I mean power to weight they are crazy.... oh wait, no they arent, they still suck. haha.

Gtr fanboys on a skyline website, who woulda thought? blink.gif lol

Being serious though, it does say that the bloke in his gtr was only learning the car (taking it easy obviously) after moving from a modified sti. I would say its more of a case of the gtr squirting on the straights, mincing the little shitbox and babying the hell out of it in the corners, then the rest was dreamed up by the suzuki drivers. I mean look at that video, those suzies are slow as hell.

I just watched that video I want my 2mins back how slow is that car. why would you both filming it?

My first thought is what car did this person 'upgrade' from that made them think this car was youtube worthy?

In the end though im glad he did, this way it proves just how pathetic the comparison between the suzie and the gtr is, its not like i ever would drive one to find out.

What's the price of this car 19990 and your manhood drive away no more to pay?

If this guy thinks it's fast then probably best off he sticks with it if he jumped in anything with over 150rwkw he'd wrap himself round a pole

See this is how i know they are full of sheet - he had to lift off the throttle! :rolleyes:

lol @ 2 gears to go around one car too, it was like sloooow motion.

The GOR is a boring road these days anyway. The limit is 80km/h and no word of a lie, all i do anytime i go down there is turn the wheel. Don't need accelerator or brakes, just turn the wheel left & right. 80km/s be toooo slow and it doesn't get to 100 until after Marengo/Apollo Bay

Plus the cops love to hide out in any nook and cranny so its just silly to go there for a spirited drive.

HOWEVER... If you want fun on the GOR, take an old shitbox down there like i did - Ford KC Laser, manual - FTW! Now THAT was some entertaining fun.

i owned a 1.3L festiva. i know exactly what you are getting at. that thing was one of the most fun cars i've ever owned despite being the slowest. the reason being that you could flog the hell out of it everywhere and barely break the speed limit, and still getting great fuel economy.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
