Even missing a gear the GTR will win......

Mine (R32 GTR) recently ran 3 x 12.6's nursing the clutch off the line (2.1 60fts) and hitting the speed limiter at the end 181kmh.

All it has is a Full 3" exhaust and a pair of 2560s running standard boost (factory ECU etc)

The Merc will not run sub 13's :P

b4 i start - those 0 - 60ft times were written by my smartass brother who happened to come across some1 comments.

up until today i hadnt tested those times yet.

NOW..

GTR owners i have something to say - OUR CARS FKN ROCK!!!!

ok here we go..

his wasnt an c55 it was an e55, which scared me when we got to where we were racing.

we ended up racing over about 800 or so meters on a road in tullamarine industrial estate. the was we did it was:

There was 3 camera men, one guy dropping the flag, and 4 people to watch which car came in first.

the rules were the win had to be clear. (min 1/2 car length infront)

we lined up, the flag dropped, and i took off so cleanly with the tinyest bit of wheel spin..

i had the engine revving between 4500 - 5500rpm for the take off. and by the time we took off i had a full car length lead.

hit about 70km/h or so (wasnt really concentrating on that, could be more could be less - adrenaline was rushing!!!) and changed just as i hit redline, each gear was changed prior to redline, but after about 400m i had about 2 full car lengths on the merc, and was driving about 165 - 175km/h. the merc began to ccatch me on the last 100, but by then he had no chance.. i ccrossed the finish about 1 and 1/2 carlenths in front and earnt my dinner and a $2000 cash bonus

there you go guys..

a $200,000 merc VS a $42,000 GTR V-spec although it may be luxury, it still cant even stand next to a piece of "Japanese crap"

The boss was so amazed to see wat my car c9ould do he threw in that bonus, and took my car for a test to see how these turbo things really work. he owns a 1965 bently, crewman cross8, merc e55, and merc sl55...

To conclude,

all i can say is that i think my nerves all fell into place, and my driving on the day was perfect and couldn be better, one gear f*k up and i was dead.

Thats for all ur replies and critisism

we have it on video, hopefully soon i can post the video shots on a site so every1 can see the finish!

Go the GTR..

haha good on ya for winning.

Just make sure that video doesn't have clear footage of your plates, or face (same applies to your boss/his car.)

congrats to u and sucked in to the small minded merc owner! it sounds like all u had on him was the launch and gear changes though.

im happy that u actually went through with it and it wasnt all talk, although i thought you would go to the drags to make it more official with timeslips!

lmfao, gotta love the support given to illegla street racing.

Your boss is an idiot and so are you. Please post up the video so that the police can see as we know they do look at these forums.

This thread should have been closed a long time ago.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
