just before I sold my 33gtr I had a run with a 6l ls2 off the lights and I had him by several car lengths (4-5) towards the top of third. off a rolling start it was close, i was only walking away from him. my car at the time was stock except had boost restrictor removed and it had run 12.8 at calder.

So I think out on the streets if a stock gtr launches it will beat a stock LS2 comfortably, and should be line ball with a 185-200rwkw gtst.

A mates mate the other day had a SS with some work done to it and was paying out jap cars etc.. i turned around and said whenever you want to line up let me know, he knew i'd kill him, so turned around and said 'sure lets see how youd go towing 2 tonne trailor and 5 people' my comment was 'are we racing or are we taking the kids and caravan on a holiday'

tell him that the old magna-doodle won wheels towing car of the year last year ...that will fix him up :D

Here's a in car footage of my car doing a 0-100km/h sprint.

Shit that launches good!!

I seen a big sign on the motorway the other day advertising the 6 Litre. I was like "wtf that's more than 2x RB25 engines, where am I gonna put the 2nd 1" haha.

Can't beat the V8 rumble. I much prefer it to a spooling turbo. Also can't help to think you could shift quicker between 1st to 2nd??

GTRs would cream you.

Until on the 10th run the GTR's stock clutch drops its guts and you cruise off!!

But then - a nice big twin or triple plate clutch goes in + a massive weight reduction from the drivers hip pocket and it is back in business.

sorry to tell you dude but if you were in sydney and pulled up next to me on the lights i would bring your 297kw machine to shame, unfortunatly i love the 6l commo's and am considering buying one so lets decide now never to race off the rights so i dont change my mind in buying one.

I concede that a stock GTR be it r32,33, or 34 will have me in a drag. The only way I would win is if the other driver didn't know how to drive well or if he bought a lemon which was not tuned well. I'm sure there must be a few out there that aren't what they used to be.

As for the GTST's, from what you guys have told me a good match would be one that is modded with more than 185rwkw.

4-5 car lengths up to 3rd gear is pretty huge. I would believe that there would only be 1 or 2 car lengths within it. How do you know he didn't brake as the speeds were getting ridiculous and that he admitted defeat after seeing that you were already ahead?

To show you what I mean. Here is a clip of a LS2 taking on a modded twin turbo supra. The supra was about 1/2-1 car length ahead at the 150km/h or so before the ls2 stopped. Supra kept going and when he hit the brakes, was about 6 car lengths in front.

The GTR probably does 0-100 in around 4 flat... so over 1sec quicker than your car...

at 100ks/h how many car lengths is in 1 second? :P

100 km/h = 27.7777778 meters / second

But top of 3rd in a GTR is around 180.

I didn't release a stock GTR runs 4 second flat 0-100km/h even with the restrictor off. I thought that it would be more like high 4's.

MarchGTR may of beaten the LS2 by that many car lengths to that speed as he said. No offence intended.

My question is when someone says they beat a car by a certain number of car lengths it's accuracy can be questionable because it's difficult to determine when the other party has actually hit the brakes.

Yeah maybe it was auto Pus. I dont' know much about twin turbo supras.

Mate of mine has a manual supra 6sp man aftermarket cooler and exhaust running 12psi of boost. Raced it expecting to get flogged but it turned out to be quiet the opposite on both rolling and standard starts I was very surprised the skyline just kept pulling away but I then again they do weight even more than a GTR.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
