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.

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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
