Yeah dur! Lol

I've been saying twins are gay since 2008. Piggaz can back me up on this!

I actually like my car looking bone stock as I have too much respect for the R32 GTR so you won't find me putting a single on.

I love the twins.

In terms of gay, I find brotheled engine bays with China blue silicone hoses and shiny shit gay.

Give it a few years, you'll cave :)

Pointless I reckon unless your competing of course and have a box worth more than your car holding it all together.

Besides when cops defect your gate, you'll probably cave and put twins back on.

Thought this might be interesting and on topic. Advan Time attack R34 using -5 low mounts and an RB30 block with ALL the trimmings. 440kw..

WOW! Heck of a build!

Def would have gone single though on that build.

Looks like it's on an American hub dyno, should make close to 2000hp out of the factory

I've actually NEVER seen an American hub dyno in person!

This being said, I have personally seen skewed dyno numbers at a roller dyno before where the dyno was calibrated incorrectly. Some guy had a stock-ish 2013 gt500 and it supposedly made 625 or so RWHP which I thought was ridiculous. I was the next car inline for the dyno and when we put my old 1994 Twin turbo Supra on it (boost control and downpipe only - I mean it all other parts bone stock down to the stock paper toyota filter) and it made 515 whp!! I told them something was WAY wrong and they recalibrated and my car did 366 whp which is WAY more on target. The Mustang guy, on the other hand, bragged for months about his being the highest stock GT500 in the country...I lol'd.

I agree - we will have dyno numbers coupled with Haltech logs from my car (street pulls in let's say 4th gear) which is a great indicator of available horsepower soon enough. A log with time v velocity should be a pretty universal comparison assuming it's the same gearing and tire diameters. Heck I'd even film it and give a GPS speed if that would help.

Its a Mainline..... Straight from "down under".

Still have the dyno builder here setting it up.

hub dynos read high anyway and as we've said they are going to put the American program in it to match up with your dynos 170F170C-5AAD-4254-AABB-AADBC25AF89D.jpg

on our dynos you would not even make your 366whp with that car, to be honest you'd probably be getting closer to 300

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
