No offence but i just cant believe that

Hey krzysiu, how do u think ur car would compare against a R33 GTR, since ur car has 250kw woud it be able to keep up, or maybe even come out in front.

:D

I have beaten a gt-r, but of course it led at the start (4WD) but i did pull in front. The thing is i know it was a stock gt-r cuz there is no way my car would beat a modded gt-r, ever lol. Cuz in the end of the day a GT-R is a GT-R

And the thing is we stopped at the speed limit (80Km/h) because i dont want a fine or a tree rammed up my arse...

Hey, I never said I bet any HSV's. I said I bet an SS, which is not a HSV. I don't really know much about Holdens, but I'm guessing the GENIII in the SS would be in a light state of tune compared to the HSV's.

For the record, I didn't beat the SS by much, just a bit more than a car length, but a win is still a win. It seems most (not all!) of the Commo drivers can't launch thier car well, but I guess that's where the weight differernce between the two cars come into play.

I know at the moment I would get whooped by a Clubsport or other new HSV, but meh, I'm not afraid to lose...

Ive a very lightly modded auto R32 GTSt (pod/exhaust/advanced timing/10psi), and have raced older 195kw and 225kw Commodores (The 225kw was an older model GTS with a few mods, dont know what actual power it was producing).

The SS (195kw) I out launched and just kept pulling away from, the GTS was alot more even, we raced 6 times in a row and I won 4 times (as in a bonnet length or more over him) up to 120km/hr before we backed off.

I also have a friend with a VXII Clubsport manual (255kw std, dynoed with filter/exhaust etc as 250rwkw), and upto 100km we are even or I am slightly ahead due to better launches, but after that he stomps all over me...

So I definately dont underestimate them, but would be interested to see his car versus a 25t with filter and exhaust from a rolling start, alot more even I would think.

In comparison I have raced 5-6 R33 Series 1s and 2s and never been beaten upto 100km/hr, but being auto I do have a pretty simple launch method that works quite well... Although I am on R33 rims with cruddy 205s :wassup:

i havnet had any v8 problems. 0 to 100 in 4.88 with 172rwkw (non shootout mode)

97 gtst manual with powerfc, fmic, [email protected], 255s on the rear, full 3" exhaust from turbo back

I've raced 2 HSV's (the newer models).... both never got past the 60ft line before breaking something :D (yes it was legal drag racing at WSID).

so if anyone asks you can say i have beaten hsv's by close to 1000ft before i backed off... :headspin:

That would be a gt-r right? As Sub 5seconds is late model evo territory.

Having a shitload of power can be pretty useless if your racing on a track. Like Keichi Tsuchia says, it's all about balance. After watching some best motoring video where a 911 Turbo, 360 modena, R34 GTR, Evo, NSX and Corvette C5R duke it out on a track I wondered how a Holden or Ford would go against those beasts.....I doubt it would beat the Ferrari which came in last place even with a good driver :Bang:

Exactly.

Some people forget that Japanese performance cars are not about absolute power. While Ford and Holden fans seem to care about little else.

Japanese performance cars (i.e. Skylines) have the following strengths (kick me if I leave anything out):

Styling

Weight balance

Handling

Engineering

Well-performing engines

Nissan chose to make an RB26DETT. They could so easily have redesigned the engine to be an RB44DETT (or similar) to make pure power by just upping the displacement, but they chose not to.

well over $35K still for a 1999 HSV judging from autotrader.com.au.

Can import a 1990 R32 GTR for 18K - 19K or 26K for a very modded one, drop in another 10K in also doing the suspension.

Will i still need to drag a HSV to prove a point?

We got some pretty wild GTRS here in perth and i haven't heard any of them have problems with any model HSV.

Actually you'd be suprised.. the sr20det puts out about 150-160kw at the fly.. so I'm assuming hypnotik's talking rwkw, or doesnt actually know how much his s13 puts out.. (i'm assuming its an sr20det, if its a ca18det, then yes he probably is dreaming...)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
