R31 Vs. VN ute - race.

Well much to my delight I raced a VN ute with VP engine, VR 5speed box, VP interior, VS bodykit. He has the 3.8L V6 with same mods as me, K&N (he has pod i have panel in stock airbox) and full exhaust (he has gutted cat). Drag was from about 70km/h to 130kmh or something. He was slightly ahead through 2nd but when we changed from 2nd to 3rd, i got my nose in front, his bumper was at my b pillar, and thats how we finished. Hah I was so stoked that i beat a car with slightly better mods than mine, and 800cc more capacity (dont know about the weight). I fuck up the 2-3 shift a bit when im accelerating hard, but i nailed it this time, ah im so happy. :D :D :flipa: to you Holden.

Just thought id put it up, a skyline win is a good win, specially against the odds. :sun:

Chalk up another kill to the humble R31:D Slip How do you find the Panel Filter I am looking at one instead of a pod???

Mate, no noticable change. Get pod, get cold air, and get rid of the restricive 1st part of intake etc.

i wanna modify it so the panels facing forward and gettin some good air, with no lid.

Good stuff slip!

Its always good to hear about fellow skyline owners whipping V8 ass.
Keep up the good work mate.




ps, you spelt skyline wrong in your profile, might wanna change it. :D

Lol, it was a V6 - hence the 800cc capacity advantage - 3.8L V6 commodores.

Thanks for the profile tip, :bloated:

shit ay, we both learned something today. 3.6L DOES equal a V6.
Then you should of dusted him off pretty easily ;)
Theres actually quite a few commodores around here that are V6 but sound like a V8. Must be exhaust or something.

Hey i just noticed you can say shit on here????
I reckon they should ban the word "holden" and "commodore" becoz they might as well be fucked. :flash:

ehhhh?????? did i just say fuck and it not get banned???

thats enuf of that matey. we don't like that shit. dam fucken foul mouthed aussies.

oops, i think i'm about to open a can of something (if only it was beer, and not that shit u guys drink either, mmm NZ beer)

Just whats wrong with our beer???

These days i'm getting into Stella Artois! Tasty shit.

James Boag - tassie beer - kicks arse.

yeah stella's a good drop, but its not an aussie beer.

we get a bit of vb around and that stuff tastes like something a horse would piss, but its pretty cheap.

me i'm quite found of DB Exports and also this drop called Haagen, tasty wee numbers (they tend to hurt a lil more than others the next day)

hey look at the post times, i posted b4 slip, but in response to his post.

it back to the future all over again (better go clean the delorian b4 my trip back)

I HAD A DRAG AGAINST A VS SS A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO FROM THE LIGHTS AND BY ABOUT 160 I WAS ABOUT 4 CARS AHEAD OF HIM!!

I STOPPED AT THE NEXT SET OF LIGHTS WAITING FOR HIM AGAIN, BUT THE PUSSY DIDNT EVEN STOP SO I COULD C HIM AND LAUGH, HE STOPPED BY MY BACK WINDOW!! :D :D

yeah V8's dont like admitting they are slower than skylines.

Should be able to beat those slugs as they run low 15's standard :D (15.2sec quoted)

WHAT ABOUT THE 250KW R8? WHAT DO THEY RUN DOWN THE 1/4?

I WANNA DRAG MY MATES UNCLE WHO HAS 1.

The VX R8 has 255kw, the VT has 250kw, either way theyre as quick as each other should be low 14's, about 14.2sec, not much faster than a SS commodore which would pull close to that as well despite less power (less weight too).

Is it unmodified? they can gain up to 20rwkw just through a decent exhaust!

yeah 255 and 250kw.
but its rear wheel kilowatts that counts. What is the power AT THE WHEELS???????
I heard the HSV maloo ute is 120kw at the wheels.:D

I used to have have a V8 VS Commodore Manual with Extractors and 3" exhaust..
It used to Beat stock R32GTS-T's with an exhaust.

It also used to pull in the WRX stockys once I hit second then when I hit 3rd good bye.. But I sold it coz it would cost to much to get it going harder....

It had close to 140rwkw's

yep his vt r8 is unmodified since its still under warranty!!:smoker:

From memory i know guys with power figures ranging from low 170rwkw's to 190rwkw for their Clubsports, stock.

120kw at the wheels is crap, not true.

Up the boost and you should have no worries denjam but stock for stock if they can drive they should have you.

awhile more till the boost goes to 14 and fmic, and power fc comes in!!

he will have to wait 4 me to kick his ass

Another Kill to the Humble R31. I was on they way down the street when a young VN P plater desides he is going to give me a run at a set of light. I was thinking piss off stupid, but as the lights went green he gunned it, and I went fuck it and droped the clutch, side by side until I went into third and took about half a car lenth on him and started to edge away, so he backed off. I thought a VN would be in front with the V6, to a stock RB30, but hey! chalk up antoher one :D :D

Hahha something about them VN's....

Have you got any mods the the Sil. R31Heaven? Its a replacement for your previous car if my memory serves me correctly.

Skylines are a hell of a lot nicer and feel safer when pushing it hard over the commonwhores... Feel so much smoother.. powersteering feels nice brakes feel really nice.. I like the turbo feel over v8's....

The car i had before the vs was a VL Commonwhore rb30E.. Manual.. with a 2 1/2 exhaust.. that went pretty good..
used to be quicker off the lights than my mates v6 VS commonwhore and up top they were exactly the same...
I think the powerfigures for the rb25de's are around the 140kw is that right.. the rb30e is about 118kw.. would be curious to see how the rb25de's go...

118kw at the engine :(

The motors as stock as a rock the only change is the HR31 5 speed. This is my old car, My GT Passage is still sitting on the docks in Japan, Steve (MR_GTR)is going over to Japan in a couple of days and will give it a run and get some more photos of it . It comes in to Aus in January as it reaches its fifteen years and dont have to pay $3000 for a compliance plate. so I am getting itchy feet. I might even take on VS V8's then:D

Is it NICS or ECCS and whats it gonna cost you all up?
Do they have IRS?

Thanks for the info R31Heaven.

Saw some of the pics of her, shes got a nice arse. ;)

She's an ECCS. It has IRS,HICAS, cruise control, electric windows, auto censing wipers, autocensing lights and auto spoiler. Total cost on the road works out around $7,000....

Cheap as fucken chips!
