I was neck and neck with an R35 GTR down the main straight of EC when I only had 320rwkw and im sure his wasnt standard.

So do we think that a properly set up 370rwkw+ 32 gtr would smoke an R35 from a rolling start at 60kph?

So too a standing start if the bloke in the 32 could drive?

I've often thought about this and I've come up with YES

and YES depending if the 35 uses launch control, which I don't think would happen much on the street

the R35 from the factory has proper launch control (full boost before you even start moving) not to mention the larger displacement and much newer tech but it does have a lot of KG on the 32.

without actually doing the test you cant say for sure though.

well what does a 35 run down the quater stock standard? somethin like mid 11's...alot of this good quater mile time can be put down to the launch control

have seen a few 35 run at WSID and they have been high 11's without using the launch by the sound and look of it...

an R32 with 370rwkw+ is potentially a 10 second car

yes i know there are other factors but im talking about a perfect world here

Theres a few clips on Youtube.

Well this in a roll on from 2nd. 600hp R35 v 700hp R34 GTR

So this has gone from a 10 sec RWD R33 GTS-t, to people that don't understand ATTESA.

Now it's onto R35s that have DSG. :laugh:

Surely this is ready for the Wasteland now?

It is.

Quality thread so far...

Yea well this thread got high jacked ages ago so im gettin in on it

just finnished watchin some other clips on youtube as well, havent seen this one yet

Well the DSG (cough...auto) does give quite a big advantage on the strip, also the R35 GTR has more gears so can make better use of its torque curve. It's almost like a continuously variable transmission.

To sum up, a 10 Rb25 is not all about having the power. Its the potential to get it down on the ground, from the get go. You need the launch, you need the traction, you need the quick smooth gear changes etc. You really cannot compare an R35 to any other manual skyline. Unless you're chuck norris, you can't out shift a DSG. Hell even chuck norris cant do it.

Power to weight will always win in my book

In a quarter mile track awd means nothing.

Most efi comes with launch control

Mine is set to 6.5

Mine was jumping to the left

Lowered the pressure on the right tire and helped alot.

So suspension and tires are destructive counter measures against awd cars.

I sure fear no awd car out there.

They are top prey in my food chain. ;)

So u drive around the street with less tyre pressure in your rear right tyre?

Or do u just jump out and lower it when ur at the lights after pulling up next to a GTR

This thread has come a long way from the first page, maybe he didn't read the OP where it was talking about street tires and full weight.

None the less it is a true statement. Ive seen some videos of VL's and rotors make some pretty quick passes with street tyres. The VL is a fat sloppy car while the rotors are generally fitted into a chassis which weights easily under a ton.

Fat as in they can in no way be compared to skylines in terms of their suspension work. My cousin has a VL which ran 12's or 11's and it had almost no suspension work. Fat as in when you smack the brake it rocks like a boat and handles like a boat. Skylines might be big and heavy but they really do not handle like boats. They are 1250Kg, 100kg lighter than my GTST.

I think that's why they are good for drags straight out of the box though, the soft wallowing suspension aids in the rear squatting and the front lifting, whereas the Skylines with there sporty suspension is a bit to firm for hooking up.

Although the VL does handle a bit more like the Queen Mary when going around corners.

I think, LOL.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
