what a waste of time that car would be! a normal viper is so unbalanced it would wheel spin and understeer without 2 much trouble!  

Having that car would be like being stuck on an tropical island with 100 supermodels but u were gay!! :lol:

Well, look how the viper went in nations cup last year - unlike both the porsche and the ferrari it is not a factory race special, but still managed to finish season in third. In fact, they reakon they ran the car for the season for under 250k - dirt cheap to be so competitive in top level racing. Makes me think they're not duds.

I'd take that car instead of the tropical island.

I'll have to have a look i remember reading a car somewhere in the 8-9sec had a mph of 152mph.

No mate 152mph is quicker than TRY09's!

A 152mph TS shows the car is good for 8's with slicks & a good 60ft.

Now take another look @ how "streetable" this car is! Sure the power is not exactly "streetable" but the car isn't stripped & radically altered from factory. At 3500lbs it's no stripped out "race car with a set of plates".

Did anybody else notice Benjamin Treynor's (the owner) quote, "the rear wheels started spinning on the dyno drum during this pull at 4900 RPM, which is why the torque dips at that point. I don't know how much power it actually makes, only that it's over 1000 RWHP". Benjamin Treynor can be found on various US based car forums (treynor), quite a decent guy.

I love my Skylines but I'm not so one eyed that I can't appreciate a serious bit of gear like this Viper.

    • 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)
