Spotted 6:40am this morning on west tce heading home from work a black 33 S2 having a look, i gave a wave then he booted it for about 50 mtrs, dont know why...cant just wave back in acknowledgement?

Bah...does anyone know what they compared and what came out tops overall ?

Surprisingly the STi came out on top. The R34GTR obviously had seriously more power and was faster in a straight line. And the Evo7 is a go-kart on steroids. But when Martin weighed up the prices vs performance vs grey import issues the STi came out the winner. Obviously the GTR is the best car, but at the time it was worth $102k (what John sold it for) so didn't represent the best 'value' overall. I think John sold the Evo7 for something like $65k too which counted against it compared with the cheaper locally available STi.

I will scan in the article for you tomorrow when I get time and you can have a read. Surely they wouldn't get a copyright knickers in a not over a 4 year old article, so I will risk it.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
