Because Group A was dead as a category internationally, even in Europe where GT-R's didn't even race.

Racing has long since realised that modifying road cars is an exercise is stupidity. If you want to go racing, make a racing car.

SkylineKiller Tell me this.

Why did they ban GT-Rs from Bathurst?

Because the rules back then didnt cater for the Turbo charged cars. The GTRs were pumping 600HP, the group A Cars where pumping 500HP. There was no rules governing the HP of cars.

How would u feel if there were 700HP Group As racing a 500HP GTR.

 

:) read what Gojira had to say, that way next time you will have the facts for an argument:(

Vaseline? So i need vaseline to get a girl to talk dirty to me:confused:

the japanese have made an astonishing impact on motorsport around the world...... F1,Rally touring cars,motorcross and road racing.....dont take credit away where its deserved....And i STILL want to go anal on that chick in the pic :)

Dick head, are you comparing standard production cars or modified cars, what is this 7500HP V8 shit.

While we are at it, the spce shuttle's three SSMEs produce just over 37 million horsepower. I'll have to admit that is more power than my skyline.

383 supercharged stroker

Chris Catouli's LC Supercharged torana.. street driven

7.33 sec @ 178.3 mph

The Earth revolves around the Sun at a speed of about 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec).

oh noes111!!!! that's faster than my Skyline

OK... and which bit of that is supposed to make sense?

Your getting posts mixed up I was replying to Roy's post, please read the quote above my post

well... if pushrods are so inefficient...   i will just keep refering back to the 7500HP KBs

inefficient??? thats 1071HP per ltr

2.8 ltr 1500HP RB 26?? only 538HP Per ltr :D

yeah, really, jeez lets organise a group buy so we can all drop one in our engine bay. It would make daily driving a breeze. :)

i thought the reason you started this thread was to stop baggin hsv's

"Its not hard to make any car quick around corners.... spend the $$$ and any car can go fast."

Sunk under the weight of your own bs. If this is the case, why start with a car that handles like crap in stock form due to being designed primarily as a large passenger/family vehicle? I'd rather (assuming my objective was to go fast and corner well) start with something smaller that has an intelligent AWD system (like, oh, I don't know ATTESSA perhaps) and has been designed as a sports car from the beginning.

I don't hate Holdens. My first car was an LX Torana and I loved it. I am even willing to agree that a new HSV Clubsport is a very quick car. However, to claim that it is an intrinsically superior performance car to a GTR is flat out ludicrous. When HSV get around to doing something with the new Torana, I'll be impressed.

Oh and as for you claiming never to have lost to any Skyline down the 1/4, you must know that there are plenty of 10sec street legal GTRs out there. Easy to keep winning if you pick your competition carefully enough: Anthony Mundine is living proof of this.

dont know what cars you've have raced mate but iv given most of my HSV races a "rolling" and start dont make much difference ,not that most races should be even raced like that last time i checked they race off the mark when under the lights? So who really cares what the outcome maybe on a "rolling" ?

(my car is good for 9s on slicks)

and there are no 10 second GTRs in WA

and also, there are quicker holden 5ltrs out there.... in a straight line... i definatly wouldnt go a GTR, ide go a V8

and an R34 GTR is just as big in size as a clubsport... and theres only 200kg weight difference....

WHy?? cause the clubbie is a balance of luxury aswel... the GTR has a pox job interior.

clubbies got leather interior, aircon, GPS nav, ect ect.

You really must be bored to make another thread on here eh champ. You should really just give up, and head back over to your LS1 forums, and suck some more bogan dick.

You were owned the first time, why try agian? :)

Because I’m such an ass, I should send off another complaint about your car to the Police. Heh. :D

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
