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)

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

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
