I in no way condone street racing, but I think you are showing your own idiocy with your comments. AS IF you haven't ever put your foot down at a set of lights!!! :(

Like someonestolec said, it may have been a private road blocked off!!! And if it wasn't....who really cares. It was a one off, controlled event!!!!

Take a look at yourself before you judge others. :huh:

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.

haha so true.

I highly doubt that there are many "goodie goodies" out and about.

Besides it was in an industrial area...it's not like they raced in a built up area.

Who cares about the result? We all know its not how you race your car its how you stand by your car.......................... B)

Now printing fast and the furious t-shirts with all your favourite quotes on them! From "Smoke Em" to "more than you can afford pal.......Skyline!"

He probably left the video in his other pants.

Not to say his story doesn't stink like week-dead fish (a near stock R32 GT-R against a newish E55 AMG over 800m?), but it is the holidays.........

who here thinks he will post the vid or come up with an excuse not to post it?

im thinking no video

he lost me when his brother started posting his 60ft times . ... . .

Back one year ago when my mates dad had his E55, he told me the '05 E55 held the current world record for 100-300km for a sedan(or might have been outright). Guess this was due to the 700nM of torque.

A stock E55 should run low 12's at about 105mph (170kph). If you beat him by 2 1/2 car lengths, you have a mighty fast GTR mate, well done.

Video please

PS. Give him another run, rolling from 60kph. Ive been in an E55 slide across two lanes in the dry when my mates mum floored it to overtake a car :)...this had non std stuff fitted though :spank:

in an ideal situation on a good track with a good driver the e55 could run low 12s, realistically mid to highish 12s... this time doesnt seem so unbeleivable, quick but not unrealistic for a gtr running 16lbs, exhaust and quite possibly some sort of management upgrade (as obviously no speed cut). 2.5 carlengths is not much at all maybe 0.2-0.3seconds at those speeds

Mate, don't let this thread sway you.

You make sure you get yourself that Merc, but just make sure that you get plenty of mods to make sure that you can beat the Jap Crap peices of shit.

BTW, good on mum setting the prime example on how to overtake a slower vehicle.

Exactly.

Those times are taken in ideal conditions, everything is taken into account, temperature, humidity, the amount of petrol in the car, even the drivers are highly skilled midgets.

So when there's like 0.5 a second between cars out of the factory, a lot comes down to the driver and conditions, AlexCim.

E55 will do 12.5 1/4 mile @116 mph, his stockish 32 R will be about the same at the end of 1/4 mile with a lower mph but the in next 400 mts all he will be seen is the big mercs tailpipes ! It will take a GTR with bigger turbos to beat the merc to 800 mtrs .

elbee111, as good as the E55 was, it wasnt a "car" as i would say. It was a f**king quick family car, and thats it.

The fact that it had air suspension all around didnt help the car, and it truely was a "boat" (expensive albeit)

If i was going to get a Merc id shoot for the SL65 currently, but if i needed a family car, cant go past the E55/S55

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
