From these JDM supercars, which one would you want to get and tune?

There's only one car - Skyline GT-R

i am a Nissan man my self and i would say the 300zx tt, even though the skyline is a higher grade but hay, i would go for the z tt or maybe supra tt? it all depend's on what i am doingbecause if i was going to race the car and modd it out i would go for z tt or supra tt because they can hold more hp and whp than the skiline because there rwd and can accelerate fast higher rpm's, a skyline is 4wd so it is the bdest thing off of the line but at higher speed it will not pull faster just because it is 4wd, but if it was me i would get some thing odd that every one does not have and that it suit's my need for what i want it for!!

the name sayz it all "speed kills"

I also chose the supra, but i would still love the skyline just cause.

Anyways, yeah i saw a couple of R-33's i think on eBay - some guy in Orange County, CA has some.

I saw one end at 62,000$

For me, that would cost 2 arms and 2 legs and my right nut.

But it's still 'The Car"

its amazing how everyone has overlooked the rx7. perfect power to weight, easy as shiet to make power in, handles like rails from the factory (!!!!!). cant really beat that. yeah i know that there are skylines, etc out there, but to buy a skyline you have to look at a price tag of about 45+k depending on the year... you will never pay that for an rx7 of the same vintage... money to mods to power is the ultimate comparison. bang for the buck, i want an rx7.

I chose the RX-7 just because ive seen some sweet ass ones modded up pretty nice.

Skylines look cool and seem to have some pretty good numbers, but I have never seen one in real life, and im just guessing that there quite a bit more money than an rx-7, money to mod ratio that is.

GTS-4 Ben
10-17-2001, 09:54 PM
:rolleyes: where the hell did you get that crap from...

It is a torque split system.. it works on wheel slip and G-Force.. not 180k.
Hicas works after 80k.

When you nail the GTR hard it delivers some torque to the front wheels to aid in traction.

You can however buy a HKS or similar system to control your torque split more.

I would choose the GTR for street racing and road going race car..

Ever heard of RH9?? 9 second road cars... they have to be 4wd because the hell you going to have slicks on the road with your 2WD..

Sorry, not all of us have as good a taste in cars as you. What do you drive? An Eclipse, or any other of the DSM's.

Now, if you want to get into an arguement about spending money on a car, I can go out, spend $5,000 on an OLD ASS '87 BUICK! A freakin' BUICK! It's got a tiny 'lil V6 with a SMALL TURBO on it. It's RWD, sorry, not AWD like your GODLIKE DSM (cough*girlcars*cough) Then, I'll spend $1000 and blow the DOORS off your DSM. If I wanted to go faster, drop a cam/turbo in it and go faster then your pussy little DSM will EVER go...EVER! There is NOT ONE IMPORT that has been able to keep up with them, let alone a DSM.
And about me spending more $ for a T/A, so what? If you were to spend over $300,000 on a damn Lamborghini, would I sit here and tell you that my "pussy automatic" Trans Am would hand you it's ass? No. You spent the $300,000 on the car because it's something YOU LIKE! Just like ME spending $30,000 on a car I LIKE.

Also, I assume you said you'd get a GSX in a 5 spd. "not a pussy automatic" because I have an automatic in my car? If so, then you've got a LOT to learn about the drag racing world. Why the fuck would I get an auto? Consistent launces, Torque Multiplication, and the fact is, GM makes their cars with AMAZING autos, unlike DSM's and their "slushboxes".

So, I'll tell ya what, you go get your Diamond Star Motor's hunk, DRIVE IT OVER TO CHICAGO IN SPRING. And we'll "run what we brung" either on the street OR the track.

Hope your cars in the single digits! Mine will be! (even with it's pussy auto)

:finger:

man, why would you call an AWD 200+ hp car a girl car? How many girls buy GSXs?
an RS eclipse hell yeah that's a girl car, but a GS-T or GSX hell no

and it doesn't take any skill to drive an auto, so why are you braggin about it? auto's are for people that don't know how to drive, and auto enthusiast wants to be connected to the car, controlling every aspect, etc. not just slammin the pedal down
I'm not sayin autos are REAL bad and nobody should buy them, but come on... if you wanna race, you go stick
how many pro race circuits do you see with auto cars? do you see auto cars in lemans?

and an R34 Skyline GT-R could blow the doors off most american cars, even in stock form.
actually i think the fastest car in the world right now is a modded supra, which is ahem* japanese.
(the mclaren is fastest production car)

and don't even lie about your car being in single digits 1/4.... that's just like all those fast and furious boys, commin outta the theatre talkin to their friends sayin "hey i'm gunna make my civic run 9s in the 1/4"
if you get that power, have fun gettin it to the ground..

Blackbird01
12-30-2001, 05:24 PM
Alright, listen...
I have great respect for cars like the GT-R and MKIV.
I've personally SEEN one of the fastest stret legal Supra's in the WORLD run. It's a 9 sec. STREET LEGAL car...and guess what? It's auto!
I'm an auto enthusiast, but my primary hobby is DRAG RACING. Automatics in drag racing NATURALLY have th advantage. Sure, I could have gotten a 6 spd. but I wouldn't have ET'ed as good and modding them is more expensive.
Now, about my car being in the single digits, as of now, it isn't.
But I'm NOT one of those stupid F&F fags that think with a "bottle of NAUS" I can beat anything on the road!
I've been into the sport of drag racing for quite some time now.
If you'd like a list of my mods what what my car last ran, I can give it to you. Maybe then you'd realize I'm not some dumb riceboy with a bottle and big balls thinking I can go out and beat anything.
About me putting the power to the ground, you're right, when you're making over 500hp at the WHEELS, getting the car to hook up DOES become a problem. That's why I usually only race at the track and on ET Street tires. Again, don't believe me? I can email you a DETAILED LIST of my mods and what I run.

I didn't start this lil flame war. He came on saying I was the idiot for buying the car I did.

RazorGTR
12-30-2001, 09:31 PM
I agree getting the power to the ground has always been an issue with high hp cars, hence the reason I also love the GTR. The ATTESSA system is awesom. 2wd until the G-force sensors detect wheel spin and apply torque to the front wheels.
Getting 1000 hp down to the ground with regular street tires is easy and a feat. :)

Blackbird01
12-31-2001, 12:18 PM
Yeah. GT-Rs are not something I'd want to mess with on the street.

At the track, with ME on a full slick and the GT-R on a street tire, it would probably be a different story. But on the street, by car will go nowhere....just spins.

dirty30ex
12-31-2001, 03:26 PM

We have a couple of bad assed Hondas here in New Zealand. There is one owned that is running mid 10's, though it gutted out, running a huge turbo and is more of a drag car than anything else. The damn things are so light even decent hp makes them go really well. Also there is a couple of NSX's here now and yep they go really hard but for the price, I would rather have an R34 GTR.

LjasonL
01-02-2002, 04:35 AM
anyone who knows anything about drag racing knows a good automatic will be faster in a straight line than a manual. for one, its easier, and if a car is easier to drive then its easier to drive fast. 2, a computer can shift faster on every shift than the best driver in the world could on his best shift ever. 3, if the stall converter is set up right, it will launch harder and faster than a manual. okay with that said, u will never see me buying an automatic, cuz im into more than just straight line racing and manuals are way faster in corners, plus i just like manuals better.

LjasonL
01-02-2002, 04:40 AM
as for the cars, how do i choose? im kinda biased for the subaru, cuz i drive a subaru. but then the skyline is so bad on a circuit it has been banned from most racing series in order to give other cars a chance. however im gonna go for the supra due to the ease of modification, and the fact that with good tuning they will handle 800+ hp on stock internals. just look at craig paisleys old supra, before he tore it down, rebuilt it, then wrecked it. that thing was running 8s on stock internals. i think it was even street legal to boot (though not a very nice daily driver, being gutted and all)

Blackbird01
01-02-2002, 01:47 PM
Craig Paisley's car was hardly "streetable"...
Running on 110 octane isn't necessarily "streetable"...
I could see if it ran on 93 Octane, but 110 is damn near close to LEADED GAS!
His car however is very impressive.
There is also another high 8 sec. "streetlegal" Supra.
And Sound Performance here in IL has a couple of mid 9 sec. FULL INTERIOR, STREET LEGAL SUPRAS!
They are very nice cars.

Now that is something that even the Japs can't get out of the Supra! Generally speaking the stock internals would be good for about 1.35 bar of boost or (19psi) before the cast pistons melt. When you say stock internals I take it the head has never been off thus also meaning stock cams and head gasket.
Even with a Garret T88 34D single turbo conversion that would be a feat in itself.
Is there any information on line about this car?

I must say, the Skyline GTR amazes me.
AWD, Turbo power, and it looks damn good...

However, I lean a bit more towards the MKIV Supra TT.
I just love it's looks, and I believe the engine itself is a bit stronger then that of the GTR.
Either way, both are very nice cars...

The 93-98, IV generation, Supra Twin Turbo has forged pistons. I have heard of head gasket problems with the older Supra's (7MGTE), but I have never heard of any head gasket problems with the newer 2JZGTE.

There are many stock bottom end Supra's runing around the streets of the USA with some insane horsepower #'s.

Jesus Rivera, from Florida, has laid down 823 rear wheel hp with a stock bottom end supra with a GReddy T88 turbo @ 28psi boost pressure with 272 cams, a Greddy 4row intercooler, and upgraded fuel system.

Bryce Danna, from Texas, dynoed 874 rear wheel hp on stock bottom end with a HKS T51R SPL single turbo setup. That is about 1030 crank hp! He now has a fully built motor.

There are others that have pulled some insane HP#'s out of the 2JZGTE.

I hope to dyno my car and get in the mid to upper 600 rwhp range in the next month or so.

hey i only said i though paisleys supra was street legal, i agree its not very drivable. have u seen powerhouse racings supra in the july 2001 issue of turbo magazine? it has full interior, street legal and kinda drivable. expected to run 8s on slicks when that article came out, 9s on street tires. i havent heard anything about it since that article though so i couldnt confirm that, although i know it made 866 rear wheel hp on its low boost setting and was expected to top out about 1200 hp.

you might think the GTR would be the obvious choice but it has a hard time doing over 200mph because its not the most aerodynamic of vehicles and the 4 wheel drive system screws it up a bit

You think i could fit a mugen JPV10 into a NSX if i could i'd add turbos too and i'd then continue to put NOS on it and it would probably blow up but not before creaming everone :devil: :flipa: :bandit: :silly: :apoke:

Hard time doing over 200...when in the hell are you going to go above 200 MPH? ;P

Those Supras are powerhouses, but the whole problem is that they don't have that kind of power unless he's sippin from the race gas...on the streets he can't run that kind of boost on normal gas. I mean, a day at the track with that 823 rwhp is great, but on the street, it drops A LOT.

man i saw this video of an r33 gtr running 205 mph on the street in a tunnel noone else was in, that was crazy! see for yourself at www.teamprestige.com/video.htm

You obviously know nothing about the Skyline mate. In factory gearing the Skyline GTR will do @ 170mph. While I agree they are not the most aerodynamic, but where they lack that they make up in sheer hp and the ability to produce hp.

The 4WD systems is unique. They are 2wd until the computer and G-force sensors detect wheelspin or the need for it. Even under hard acceleration you will see only around 10% front wheel torque. Now lets talk about 200mph. Veilside R32 combat drag/street car can accelerate from 0 - 300kms or 180mph in 13 sec! I have a video of it doing just that and it was on DOT legal tyres. That was also only getting into 5th gear with another to go.

Who cares what kind of gas it uses, no body is gonna know if you are running race gas on the street.

Oh well we have GTR's running around New Zealand that are producing over 600 bhp on pumped gas on street tyres that would run rings around most supras. There are a few Supra's here that are damn fast but they never seem to do very well once the GTR's show up and shut them down.

Being that I own a skyline (admittedly not a GTR) I would take one over the other choices. Handling wise they will eat a Supra and I just prefer the aggressive look to them. and if you treat them well they seem to be a very strong motor.

yea 200 mph they do it alot in Japan

one of the recent super streets has a 246mph Supra normal everyday car built by JUN

yak yak yak i probably seen more than you but i must admit you do have a point i mean some cars don't need 1000hp+ to get to 200mph they have 600hp i mean if you look at it .... i think i'm right you can get it to do 200mph very easily but they need twice the amount of horsepower as a maclaren to do it ..... o and i was recently looking at a Skyline that can do 0 -200 in 14 seconds

i suppose they do it faster than a maclaren but there you go it took japan a while before they broke 200mph with a skyline

i agree with you on every part

except "you obviously know nothing about skylines"
quite frankly you can go fuck yourself

RB26DETT is Japans most powerful engine or potentially
twin turbo
six cylinder
twin cam
it has super hicas steering system which means when grip is lost at the rear power is sent to the front meaning it is not a full time AWD its one of the most advanced cornering machines in the world,
Its the fastest production car around the nurburgring and i have seen a stock R33 do a race course faster than a 500hp Ferrari

Don't go ranting about people you do not know !!

Umm. That Supra is nowhere NEAR a "normal everyday car"...
It's a purpose built "top speed" car. Although, it didn't break the record!

Don't go ranting about people you do not know !! :mad: I'm sure Razor knows a bit about Skylines, since he owns a GT-R and all. Perhaps you should keep your own ranting in check.

You are as ignorant as you are arrogant.

For one the steering has nothing to do with the 4wd system or ATTESSA system. That is a seperately contorlled system. The factory torque split controller works off 6 sensors. 2 G-force sensor one latterally one longitude. Two sensors are one on each side of the rear diff housing which engage a small cog gear to detect slipage of the rear wheels based on the rolling speed of the front wheels which are also cog geared and sensored. It is the same with the GTS4 which shares many of the identical running gear parts, hence is named the baby Godzilla. There was a very good article of a guy in Australia who used an electronic system he built to even enhance the factory system more or less depending on driving conditions and needs. It is also critical that all four wheels and tyres are the same size in diameter and condition as that can also cause problems with the 4wd systems.

For the record the active steering or HICAS only comes into play after 80kph, unlike many other systems which are generaly reserved for parking and only work at under 20kph. Also for some more information on that. Many if not all the racing teams disable the 4ws system as it can give you the same symptoms as a tyre going down if not working properly. It is either completely removed and a hybred power steering pump used 50% skyline GTS (non type S) and a primera pump housing, or they pin them with one of the many aftermarket kits available.

The record a nurburgring was reset by the R34 GTR Vspec I.


Get your facts right the first time and I won't have to come back in here and correct you like a little boy. I say little boy because you comments are that of a young person of whom has no common sense and it looks like you have been getting your mis-guided information from sources that are just as fucked up as you are! Now little boy go back and start doing your research again. Once you have completed it come back here and enlighten me.

Now be a good little boy and do as your daddy says. :finger4:
