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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
