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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
