OMG! High 8's from a street GT-R with standard motor!

[DoughBoy]

Sure anyone can do 7's in a full tube chassis with a stocker, but how about 8s in a full weight street registered GT-R? It's all true! Details in a bit.

[DoughBoy]

The car has a light dusting of bolt ons, uses the standard bottom end but has polished runners. Apparently the biggest mod on the whole car is an aftermarket sequential gearbox - not a clutchless one though. Surprising what one can do with a GT-R these days, especially with mild boosting

[Ronin 09]

come on! come on! tell us son!

[DoughBoy]

I can't understand why people here are soo slow and in the 11's - even with built motors. All you really need to do it:

1/ Add turbos and a couple of other bolt ons

2/ Remove carpet + add cage

3/ Fit up Nittos (a must!)

Hehehe. Yeah, great journalism!

[funkymonkey]

kiwi mag? what's the source?

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

standard excepts for the RB30 OS KIT, Motec and 100s of R & D hours hahaha good to see they checked there sources for the article hahaha.

American mag, Turbo + High Tech Performance. One of the longest running and respected late model performance mags in the states. Makes you think twice over some other claims

[maximajim]

lol i'm sorry, but a respected mag? All import mags in the states offer poor, misinformed journalism at their best. They are just catering to the skyline/silvia/240sx craze.

[funkymonkey]

oh you mean its from a "teh RB in your 240sx is tyte y0" mag. They must have gotten that info from some 13 yr old keyboard drifter on a forum based in the states.

Ahh, thanks for setting us straight.

For what its worth, a Skyline in the UK did a high 8 run last week I believe although I cant remember any details. Will see what I can find out in the morning.

[NZM.031]

i hope you were drifting that keyboard on a desk where it should be. otherwise its a stupid thing to do....do you have the beer insured?? hope he wasnt hurt.

[Sumo]

The mousepad soaked some beer, the rest I sucked up off my desk....

Only time a grown man cries is when something happens to his beers.... or skyline.

Keith Cowie ran a 9.38 in the UK last week, are you sure that's not what you're thinking of?

I just like the bit that says:

"Keir Wilsons stealthy R32 shows what can be accomplished with moderate boosting."

umm, twin T67s at 25psi?? yeah moderate.

[Let Me Drive]
