60km both second. He had proxy 888 265 all way round. I just have more than 1000rpm response than him. His car is actually going for a 10 soon with around 425awkw.

Obviously if he launches it its bye bye for me lol

my GTST with GT35 will let go in 3rd at anything under 100km/h if i ramp the boost on hard.

i take it you have never been in a 300+kw GTST

Really? Ive got a fair bit of power, not 300, but the only times I can brake traction are between shifts(its not just a chirp, it breaks) and all throughout first gear and 2nd if I don't let it regain traction after the shift. It would be pretty awesome if I could be off throttle in 3rd gear then plant it just to have the wheels spin lol. I NEED MORE POWER. What tires and suspension do you use? My suspension isn't hard and has some squat in it to help give traction and my tires are fat 595's.

Gonna assume that's the make and not the width blink.gif

The main reason why he would lose traction in third is because of the 3540 having more lag and the boost delivery isnt as linear as to probably your turbo and with a 3540 on a rb25 its like all the boost comes on at once and so it goes nuts lol.

I had those 595 that were 265 wide and I'd spin them up easy in second gear with 285 rwkw when running the Gtr in rear wheel drive..

Like stated before it has more to do with the power delivery, I had nismo gt lemans turbos that were plain bearing and would lag then come on hard, where as my mates -9 turbos with 280 rwkw doesn't feel as violent comin onto boost

In the wet I could spin all 4 265 down the highway in second :)

Yeah my dads old 350rwkw GTSt could light up the tyres at 120-130kph if you wanted it to, but wouldn't spin at all when he used proper throttle control not just "mash the go pedal"

Highly untrue. GTR lags like dog balls. Imagine a 10 second Gtr with -5 turbos doing a 60k roll race. Wait I Did this! My r33 gtst 280rwkw vs r32 Gtr 385rwkw. 60k roll. I maxed my speedo b4 he caught up. A 10 sec GTR is nothing without the launch. You GTR fanboys crack me up :P

Get off the crack pipe! How am I a GTR fanboy when I own a fast Gts-t?

I have owned both (fast GTR and fast Gts-t) and I can tell you the only thing that could keep up with the GTR at low speed was other GTR's and maybe from 60km/hr a quick evo could keep up in 2nd, third was game over.

Take your slow Gts-t and go home...

PS. This is from around 60-70km/hr in my old GTR, I bet you can keep up >_<

You said it in one,

A gtr is fast (very fast) and awesome, but there's still times when I would love to have a 300kw gtst for the wheel spinning sideways action. Plus gtst are much cheaper to run and maintain. Before I get fanboyed I built a 300kw gtst from stock and now own a 300kw gtr.

So sinista gtr, how does a 300awkw gtr compare with the slow 300rwkw gtst, i mean at normal road speeds and sensible driving except those rare moments when u just wana zap past for a few seconds or do a spirited stab of the pedal coming onto an empty motorway on-ramp or say 60-120??

Sensible driving, unless you took off like a granny, 1st gear in a high powered gtst is useless as soon as it comes onto boost it's wheel spin and same with second. In the rain.... Omg you have absolutely no chance of getting near boost. The gtst is quick don't get me wrong, but when it comes onto boost say on the on ramp like you said from 60 or 80 you just wait to correct the steering wheel if it completely breaks traction or it's twitchy fighting for grip.

The gtr just has a feeling of immense power and torque and when you get on the go pedal hard or soft there is no worries about grip. You have to look ahead to see how far the car is ahead of you as it just picks up speed über quick.

The gtr is able to use its power on all of its range and gears without issues to be quick, the gtst is fast once you get past the looseness and wheel spin.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
