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.

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA

      It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in

      Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
