no, buy MY car stuff!

Not stuff for my car, the stuff I am selling ;)

You need some big ass brakes to slow up that fat 33 with all them v8 torques :)

On that note, I have a question regarding "power and street cars"...

I currently have ~270rwkw (264rwkw through a stalled auto) amd running 235 rear tires with a bit of stretch (they're on a 9" rim) I feel as though the average joe dickhead would crash very quickly if told to get behind the wheel.

But then I see some of you guys running well into the 300rwkw zone and thinking the cars are slugs, I don't understand. Even with my power my car feels very quick and very loose on the street

V8, NA Tourqes. You pull from all the way down in the range, high power FI cars have to be on boost. Makes your car seem faster according to the seat of your pants dyno.

Example, Martins car has similar power to Dylan's SLK55 AMG. I've been in both at full noise. Dylans feels faster, but its actually not.

Hmm I guess, mines pretty doughy off cam ie anything under 4k... Although I spin the sum bitch up 7k now so yeah. But coming onto the highway at from 60 if I tramp first and ratchet second it basically powerskids around the shop easily to 100.

But what im getting at is people around the place claim there bulk hp cars are "streetable" yet I can't see how it's possible... Some insight from a guy/girl with a big powah street car is appreciated

Do I count? I've currently just put my 235's back on the rear of mine and they are 18x9.5. 600hp and driven on the street, it gets a little wild on WOT, but fine if you feather it into boost..

Depends how you define streetable.

People will change how they define it for themselves meaning that people will claim almost anything is streetable. And honestly, its horses for courses anyway, so if they like it props to them.

Dan said to me that 250kw was his ideal for daily driver and anything over 300 was stupid for the street. And he kind of knows how to build a car.

This is kinda the thinking lines I'm along, don't get me wrong is love to have be power I just don't know the practicalities of it

I guess it all depends on the setups, mine is a single plate clutch and is easy to drive on the street and around town

Like sneaky Pete said though. Everyone has there own thoughts of streetable

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
    • Hi, i got 1998 r34 4 door auto abs model and its manual converted with bigbox when i bought it . I successfully find the neutral and reverse light wire but can’t find the speed signal wires for speedo drive. I know its grey plug but on my loom no grey plug with 2 wires . I opened the loom upto where it getting branch with other wire, i’m amazed they is no wire. So need help how to fix the speedometer problem. I search on google it says some r34 model measure speed from diff sensor. Is it right? I talk to a wrecker he say no this isn’t right, i’m kinda stuck. Please help
    • What!? US law does not apply to the rest of the world!!!
    • No requirement for JDM vehicles,  which the 33 is, maroney label only needed in the US market for new cars I believe (Federal law stuff) Google knows all
    • Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly
