The figures I read must have been old then, explains some of the 30KW gain from a slightly smaller turbo between the BF and FG. Im trying to look after this car so wont be reaching this overtake mode for a while, im interested to know more about it. Also Launch control wont get a workout.

Overtake mode works that from around 70KM/H if you open the throttle up completely, it'll add in an extra 10% of Torque for 3 to 5 seconds. I'm not sure if it's in the autos only or not though.

1710kg is hardly near 2 tonne. Afik the 33 is approx 1370 so 340kg is a big difference but unless you have driven one you just see numbers. Aaaaaaaand your 33 gtst didnt come with Launch control. I love skylines and it disappoints me (on the skyline side) at how good the XR6T's are without any mods. I guess thats why Ford designed and built them like this, to challengebto Import market.

Not a chance.


Plus if your car is still on stock boost, even a N/A FG XR6 will almost keep up from on traffic light GP.

Straight line acceleration wise, stock R33 is no longer fast versus many of the large family sedans we have on the market.

This^

I'm even confident enough to say a stock V6 camry will keep up with a stock r33 gtr.

A bog stock FG XR6 is quicker than a R33 GTSt, my mates one ran 14.4 @ 98mph. No mods what so ever.

My old man had a similar race before

His GT35R powered R33 at 350rwkw vs a BF XR6T at 330rwkw. The skyline hosed it from anything including roll ons at any speed and off a standing start. For the mods listed in the OP though the XR6T will win without trouble.

I was getting rolled by a FG XR6 turbo automatic ute and sedan at the drags, running low 13's everytime. Also sat in a mates FG XR6 turbo with a full exhaust and the thing has so much grunt down low, its pretty impressive.

Overtook a BA XR6 turbo one day starting at 3rd position on the grid (behind him at the lights), he had a few passengers and i had a boosted stock turbo..

Not sure about that one...

Unless you mean the current Aurion (Sold as 3.5 V6 Camry in other countries), those were faster than most 6 cylinder falcdores in a straight line I believe.

The older (3.0) V6 Camrys had pretty 'meth' acceleration espeically if they had the ancient slush box auto, my parents had one (2002 model) & overtaking at highspeeds (80km/h+) sucks major donkey kong ballz.

you blokes are dreaming, I ran high 12's with nothing more than a zorst a tboost and a safc. The old skyline with very minimal mods in the right hands can dust the ford no probs.

Obviously the henry has potential for more power with the cubes but dont under estimate weight, the henry is some 3/400 kg heavier than the line.

do the same mods to a xr6t and they will be in the low 12's with a decent set of tyres. it's all well and good to say a car with mods will beat a stock car, but that goes both ways. a modified xr6t will just be a pair of tail lights off in the distance when racing a stock skyline.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
