The colt for sure. Think about it, it's lightweight and it has a turbo. The skyline is a whale and it has a turbo as well, so it comes down to weight.

If you wanna win, get rid of anything unnecessary for the car to actually run.

Stereo equipment

passenger seat

Rear seats

bonnet

front bar

rear bar

skirts

wing

Aircon

radiator (if the race is over a short distance and the car isn't running for more than a few minutes it's not really essential)

Consider even removing small things like the fuel filter, it all adds up

Get a hole saw and make numerous glory holes throughout the car. You'll need the airflow without your aircon and you'd be very surprised how much weight can be saved by shedding a bit of metal that is only there for structural integrity. Speed is more important.

Now, just before the race, open up the colt owners hatch and fill it with as much shit that you removed from your car as you can without him noticing. Be smart about it, don't stick shit on the passenger seat where he's likely to look. In the boot and the back will be good.

Always try to maximise your advantage by taking off before the lights turn green. There are a few reasons for this:

1. That split second of time that you gain by taking off before the light is green could turn into a car length before the next set of lights.

2. If you come close to hitting a car coming through the intersection, you may be fortunate enough to startle the colt driver and he will bodge his take off.

3. Everyone knows that if you go for it on green, you'll hit a truck reversing out of a driveway just beyond the finish line. If you leave the line a little early, your opponent will hit the truck, making his loss even more devestating. Not only did he lose to a shitbox, but he wrecked his car in the process.

There you have it, it is really that simple.

Unless the colt was doing everything right and the skyline everything wrong, money's on the RB.

Does come down to driver at the end of the day.

only way to find out is try...

i dont know how much power they make but you might get a nasty surprise... my b16 civic with intake headers and exhaust (untuned) made 100kw at the front wheels and weighed 960kgs with me and full tank of fuel in it I Beat my mates r32 gtst, he had 3" exhaust, front mount, more boost, i think a little high flowed 20 turbo, it was tuned and making 190kw at the rears and i beat him by half a car in a straight line.

If you guys want tips for anything else or want me to give you the low down on any other car comparison, don't hesitate to give me a shout.

You'd be surprised at how much of an edge I can give you over your opponent. You'd be shocked to know that a ford courier actually has more potential than a Gallardo, but it's true and I can tell you how.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
