Munched my First Clubsport


Recommended Posts

VT Clubsports are hard to pick because they came with two types of engines.

VT Series 1 - HEC 5.0L V8 with 195kw: 15 second car :lol:

VT Series 2 - Gen3 5.7L V8 with 250kw: Low 14 high 13 second car

The only visual differece is the badges and the VT1 has orange indicators the VT2 has clear (although alot of VT1 owners retrofit the badges and indicators from series 2 so people think they have a Gen 3!). Still most moded Skylines should beat any stock Clubsport, they are a very heavy car. With a few decent bolt ons you can get them running low 13s, with head and cam work mid to low 12s are achieveable. Not to bad but probably still get munched by a modded GTR any day of the week.

They're probably trying to beat the next set of lights so they don't have to look at you :P

Don't you normally show you've won by taking their lane? (and of course, indicating)

Yeah but then you could argue the age old point ..... when does a drag end ... speed limit? till the road runs out? till your car doesnt go any faster?

Thanks Whatsisname :P

This is a pretty cool forum, I used to post on what I think was the old forum to this one? It was a NZ based forum with a regional section for Aus. Look foward to keeping up with Skyline news! I know plenty of people with them and think they are awesome cars! If I hadnt have bought a brand new car I would be driving an R33 right now!

Cheers :D

it ends when the person in front decides not to go any faster and cant be bothered with it anymore!:(

I munched a Ford Falcon GT (no idea what model but it was very nicely worked looking at a website it looks like an XY).

Cruising on the Hume Hwy back from the summernats just casually sitting on 100km/h with traffic infront and behind.

Falcon cruises up beside, windows down 4 x 25yr oldish guys all looking at me and talking amongst themselves. I've got my windows up a/c on 20c and sitting low just relaxing because of the 2.5hr drive.

The drive gave afew revs at me and i looked over and just gave a smile then continue driving for about 10sec, then they gave another rev (still at 100km/h). I thought ok only way to shut up this guy is to give him a run so i sneakily leaned over and thru it back in 4th (still on stock boost) and then just flatted it. He launched with me and i pulled approx 2 car lengths on him by the time i hit the speed limiter. I merged over infront of him to overtake other cars while backing off. By the time i slowed back down to approx 130km i noticed a cop reversing into position in the middle island part getting ready to setup.

I thanked my lucky stars (with a grin on my face) and the Falcon GT guys left me alone for the remaining 1hr highway journey.

I'm guessing you're a fellow LS1.com.au member?

The way I see it the race is over once you reach the next red lights if they arent to far away....or if you are clearly the faster car and can't be bothered proving it anymore so u just put on ur hazards to "tease" the other bloke a bit...Also when u go to the street runs i've notcied they mainly put on the hazards when its a tight race because all of the crowd is down on the other end of the quarter mile!!! If you win by heaps its not really needed unless u wanna tease the loser!!

when ur at the end of 2nd and the other car isnt gaining on you, then the race is over...if both cars are neck to neck..then 3rd gear would put u at 400m...basically u'll know when u've won or lost :D

yeah i agree ... i always never fully floor it unless i have to, cause u know the feel of your car and u know what it can do ... for me i will only speed up far enough so i know if i've won or lost ... which is usually by 3rd gear ... but usually i wouldn't go past 80kmph ... cause it starts to get really dangerous and i already know who's won or lost ...

Yep I recall seeing you name around a few forums, what is done to you skyline? Are you the guy with 300rwkw!?

Cheers

My car has all the usual bolt-on mods including a bigger turbo, but not enough for 300rwkw! I'll get there eventually though. See my sig'. There's a few GTS25t's owners here with 300+rwkw.

I had some pecker in a silver Rex cruising beside me on liverpool road a couple of months back doing the zoooom psssh zoooom pssh thing with his BOV. He issued the challenge at the lights just before the freeway (I was going back to Canberra)....so what could I do ?????....He lost !.....Go the Skyline's !!!!

Had a run with a 911 Carrera couple of weeks ago.

We had just left Sandown after a Porsche Club track day when this 911 came rushing up behind me and started doing the whole tyre warming exercise to tell me I was going to slow. We came out onto Springvale Rd and they blasted past me making some comment on Jap cars (didn't catch it all).

So that was it, I tucked in behind and followed them onto the merging lane onto Princes Hwy. I was right on him so he knew, and once he saw the traffic was clear, he was off in a cloud of smoke, as was I. I chased him to 90 where I pulled to the right lane and slowly passed him (at full noise). By 190, Mr Sky was a good 3 car lengths ahead. I backed off and they went shooting past.

We caught up at the next set of lights and I wound the window to say g'day but niether the driver nor his mate would even give me a look. My wife hates me doing that and I generally don't, but she loved outsprinting a porsche. As long as I never do it again.

Skyline...............!!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
