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.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
