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

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

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.

Edited by SargeRX8

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.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
