Ive got one! For about 2 more weeks :rolleyes:. I think the XR6 would get up...but as always it would depend on the driver. On the entry to a freeway once from a set of lights I was slightly in front but I had my best launch ever! and it was only to 100 maybe that extra power would start to tell once the speeds got up

Not even comparable. Straight line times the XR6 turbo would destroy a bog stock R33. There engines have so much more 1/4 mile potential as well as power is dead easy to pull out of them. As a track car it is a different story all together...

here is a link to stock vs stock 0-100km and 0-400m. Not a lot in it really at the end of the day if they are both manual the better driver will win. That said I have driven both in manual form and the Skyline to me was a much nicer car to drive. Lighter and smoother clutch and gear box. You can really fell the weight of the XR6 when cornering to.

cheers

A quote from that dude that owns the XR6T.

"Heya all i know this is an ls1 forum but a few people on here know me so i thought id let them know where im at now

Picked my car up from HPF today after having the engine rebuilt it makes 330rwkw at 3000rpm and max power 391.5rwkw with the factory turbo running out of puff looks like time for a bigger turbo

But what is impressive is the tourqe 12000N of tractive effort on the dyno which even HPF were amazed at

The car has a c9 3 speed fully manual shift auto in it now and in top gear at 100kph you can floor it and light up the tyres all you want

Hopefully is the rain holds out i will make it to calder tomorrow night now i got to get the power to the track"

330rwkw at 3000rpm.. Thats flamin awesome.

I've said before and I'll say it again..

There's no replacement for displacement. :O

Had a couple of run in's with XR6T's.. problem is they have all the power from the second they put the pedal down..

while I have to wait till 2nd gear to really start the power coming on.. my cars stock except cat back exhaust.. by which stage i'm doing 80/100 in a 60 zone.. not good..

maybe with the 8psi full time mod it'd be different.. will endevaur to g-up someone next time I see one..

:O

I would have guessed the xr6t. power to weight it has it, and then it also has a fair slog of bottom end grunt from the extra 1.5 litres or so. I still think it says a whole bunch for an up to 12 year old 2.5 litre car that it can more or less keep up with the new meat. .3 of a sec is bugger all!

How do you know there cars are stock? Lots of XR's going around with just the EDIT which gives them about 20-40rwkw more.

Who would win this drag race?

Both manuals, both bone stock.

I have only race 1 XR6T and it was auto;

Background info on my skyline its r33 but has rb20 size turbo (i was making 170rwhp at the time i race the XR6T)

It was equal untill i change gear, his was auto had a smoother change and pull ahead by abit, i think stop cuz gf gave me an eye look.

So basic 0-60km it was equal with my 170rwhp

i'd say 80 - 90% of them are stock that you see on the roads..

most people wouldn't void a warranty on a new car that's already pretty quick as it is..

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
