i read most of it and the people who had actually driven a gtr had some clue, but the best argument most of them had is "my highly modified wrx beats stock gtrs" - no shit dick head.

has anyone here had much experience draging wrx's.

i'd rather drive my gtr than a wrx that was twice as fast. (harsh but true)

Most of them are suprisingly accepting of the fact that GTRs are quicker.

Ofcourse there is always the guy who thinks his standard car will beat anything! LoL, like a few GTST (pretty standard) owners that have claimed to beat STis on this forum....sif.

I have an auto r33 few standard mods

off the mark

unless the wrx has gear box work it is not worth a drag unless up to 60kms

a rolling start is a different story they go quit hard but have not much go from 80 to 120 or not as much as me

but both car are good and realy it is the gtir that should be the one that they compare it 2 and again nooo contest

but i like wrxs more than v8s

my 2 cents james

well the 1 rex i ever raced i beat 3 times. He didnt want to risk his gearbox with hard launches, where as i had brand new tyres and could launch reasonably well with minimal wheel spin.

I'd like to race one with the driver giving it some stick from the word go.

An STi driver who isn't willing to launch hard will be lunched by just about anything off the line. They got nuthin below 4k. Hell, my mate in his pintara (all 82kw) with a good launch managed to keep ahead of one until, maybe, 40km/h. Maybe 30km/h... But the point is, a well driven car with a little grunt can beat a poorly driven STi (with lots of power) to 100km/h. Would get run down over the quater mile though. And destroyed on the freeway.

One thing I don't like about the boxer engine note is when people take the stock non-turbo imprezas and put on fully sick 'zorsts. They sound like a Volkswagen Beetle with a hole in the muffler.

If I wanted a nat-atmo boxer engine, I'd go a 911 for only 10x the price!

EDIT: I guess the good driver vs. bad driver applies to pretty much all cars, but the massive traction of the STi combined with the massive torque hole seems to magnify the effects of poor driving.

I've run an MY02(ish) WRX in my Z from a 1st gear rolling start (we both took off, watched to see if the other was going to punch it, and then both did). Neck and neck up until I backed off at around 110km/hr (which I realise is nowhere near a quarter mile).

While this takes out the glass drivetrain problem in the WRX, my car also has a lack of off-the-line traction. If my Z can keep up, it won't stand a chance against a GT-R.

Once you factor in launching, and the ability of a GT-R to do a redline clutch dump more than 3 times.....the Impreza will be behind the 8-ball trying to reel it in.

The thing is, most of them also know the GT-R is a "cut above" theirs. So its no loss of face to rate those cars. It'd be like someone comparing an R34 GT-R to a Porsche 996 Turbo - there's no problem with giving props to a car that's significantly more powerful and expensive as a road car.

But, troll those WRX guys on how a Pulsar GTiR or Evo goes against it, and you'll probably get a similar response to when people start talking about (Supra or RX-7) vs GTS-t on here and the little kiddies take the bait.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
