Didn't know where to post so thought I'd post up here..

My sisters fiancée purchased a 2011 VE SS and has put extractors on with full exhaust,cold air intake and chipped it with a retune,he has also done some suspension work but nothing crazy..I'm not a hater of v8s and actually like the sound of a niiice cammed one but lately i can't stand his constant shit smack talk bowt my 32 and in his words ' these shitty 2 or 3 ltr rice cookers' thinking they are all this n that when any v8 could destroy em etc etc plus not to mention the teenage hoon mindset he has behind the wheel.He hasn't told me his dyno figure but I'm guessing it would be around the 320 kw give or take. NOW this is my question would my fairly moded 260 kw td06 equipped R32 beat the commo?, I work f.i.f.o in the mines atm so can't take my car to kwinana drags any given Wednesday so am trying to find if they still do Wednesday night drags? And what you guys think the out come would be, 1 good win for Japan or a win to the loud mouth punk in his 6ltr..

Post away your replies I don't get offended :-)

260 in a 1.3 ton car or 300 in a near 2 ton car. but then you have to take in manual vs. auto, 1/8th or 1/4, drivers of each car yada yada and the result is usually too many factors to decide without actually taking them to the strip.

No the VE will pump your R32, TD06 or not.

The only solution to this is to fit a L98/77 6L to your R32.

Keep the replies coming :-)

Lol sorry but that's not the only solution bozodos a rb25 or 26 is a more natural progression not take a back step and fit a v8, my brother has the 5.7 ltr VY SS with extractors, full 2.5 inch zorst and some chip and I blow him away every time he gets serious and the 2 times we have been to the plex but seen as tho I know jack bowt the 6ltr I thought someone else would and can give some first hand help or experience with em..looks like the only way this is gonna be settled is on the track

The 6l is a different animal to the 5.7 - more comp, WAY better heads and different ECU etc, tend to see better gains out of them once modified; from 240-260rwkw usually (on a Mainline), so yeah around 320fwkw or thereabouts.

Bolt on Gen 4 6Ls often run mid to high 12s on the quarter FYI.

Hmmm makes me wanna get down to Perth ASAP and take this to the plex,my car can run 12s flat all day and I have the slips from the plex to back that up as well, i may run a few more psi and see how I go then..also forgot to mention I'm driving a gts4 so grip is no problem and il start working on my launches :-)

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
