Speed or wheels or some such magaziene has approached Autostyle in sydney about using there white R34 with the carbon fibre bonnet to put up against a 550 maranello. the R34 is making 400+awkW from memory.

Just wondering what people thought of this??

Is it a fair comparrison or is the 34 to modified to be classed against a "standard" car?

The R34 can be viewed at www.autostyle.com.au

A 400 awkw GTR is going to be a laggy ho.

Not at all.

And the Maranello is going to be slaughtered by that GTR if it goes down. A friend of mine had a 550 he would bring to the illegals here in Texas. INSANELY fast from 40-180mph, but only good for mid 12s on a drag strip. Handling was a different matter, it was a great car to drive. :D

its not a fair comparison.

fair would be stock for stock..

and even then i dont think its fair, they should compare say the new 4 seater ferrari to the gtr, that would be fair, they are both 4 seater hardcore GTs(sort of)...

there isnt much to compare really, both have pros n cons

like stock gtr v's stock 550 - well gtr has power limit where 550 doesnt

gtr is a fraction of the price of a 550 and both are built differently

bang for buck would be a good comparison but then u could even put a modded s13 up against it.

id say it would be more of a review on the 2 different performance spectacles...

be an interesting read nevertheless

As soon as a car is modded and the other remains stock, there is no fair comparison. Both cars should come off the showroom floor, run in to 5000 kms and then spanked around by professional drivers.

Gimme the Ferrari anyday. Would much rather have a Ferrari than my GTR.

hahaha dave i remember you saying at the sandown track day when the 355 was going down the straight that 'ferraris just sound good but are slow' :)

And I stick to that comment D.

I would love a Ferrari!! The sound of any Ferrari at full song beats any stock Skyline and considering how slow they are, you can attract more attention without actually breaking any EPA regulations and pick up more hotties :)

Do you know what the '550' stands for?

$550,000 ha ha..

Different class of car... the person who buys a 550 probably has a 34 already.

You gotta ask yourself why a '00 r34 is $80,000 and a 1978 308GTB is $120,000 or why a '97 355GTB is $200,000.

T.

Simple answer. Coz the Rarri is better off the factory floor!!! Nothing beats R&D. No mods = no problems which can't be fixed under warranty :(

LOL. There is no such thing as an italian car better than a jap car of the show room floor,

performance & look wise yes, but it all down hill from there, unless u live with an italian exoticar (or german for that matter)before you have absolute no idea what you're getting youself into.

When was the last time your dash curled up when u park your skyline in the sun?

can't say the same thing about some of the italians.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
