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.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
