Wasted by a Skyline??

Post by Joules » Wed Aug 04, 2004 11:01 pm

Absolutely not funny!!

My RS4 was conclusively beaten on a contest of speed this evening. At a speed where let’s just say inertia would not play a huge part a skyline undertook me and proceeded to leave me like I’d thrown an anchor out of the window.

My car is not slow with MTM stage 1 tuning circa 420 BHP and recently proved a solid match for a Tuscan S, so no apparent problems??

So what went wrong….? To make matters worse a girl racer was the driver…..( To be honest I approve of that :D )

OK the Skyline was an R33 GTR-V Spec and clearly not in standard tune….. but why such a gap…… ????

Any thoughts

ooooh dear,not good news at all mate but skylines can be tuned very easy to 600 hp and some times to 1000hp.
i would say she was using NOZ,if the gap was as u described.
THANK GOD GIRLS DONT DRIVE HERE. :beerchug:
BETTER YET,SKYLINES R NOT ALOWED HERE AS THEY ONLY COME
AS R/H STEERING :twisted:

Like the man said you'll have to do some serious stage 3+ tuning to match a highly tuned skyline :(

But don't forget you've still got the upper with 5 doors.. he/she can't even fit his cat in the back! :mrgreen:

Good excuse to go for stage 3 then :D

But there will always be a faster (standard & modified) car out there.

That skyline must be packing some serious wallop though.
No sig, no RS4 anymore

Indeed, Skylines are a quic car and it is hard to tell how quick or how modified

Have beaten some and then had some that are a match, never lost - YET!!!
Can't beat a bit of boost!

My Mrs got marginally beaten in the RS by one out of the Dartford tolls a couple of weeks back - I was following in my brother in laws car and was pretty alarmed by the way they both hooked it up and flew out at serious pace :D Of course it was all put into perspective when the Skyline driver spent the whole of the tunnel listening to his exhaust and dump valve :assflash:

Cheers

Record for 0-300km/h is 13.00s. Sick.

GTR-700 - Stage 2 - Pro-GTR drag specifications:

Current power: Greater than 1,000kW (~1,350 BHP) at 3.0 Kg/cm2
Current weight: 1,350 Kg (~2,972 lbs) as raced with fuel and driver
Best result: 9.75 @ 141 mph on first ever shake down pass, using only 1.5 Kg/cm2 boost and 10,500 rpm rev limit (only ~800 BHP)

yeah man.. those car can be tuned as he**... as previously said they can easily go to 1250hp.. in my opinion, not a car to race with.. unless you´re in Portugal.. here there are lot´s of car with tuning, but it´s all exterior. Tthey have 106´s and Citroêns Saxo equipped with a stupid looking guy, neons, a big aileron and some stupid looking 14" wheels, and the inside, the powerfull 75hp stock engine... can´t wait to get my "family wagon" and smoke this guys.. eheh :)
