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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
