i want to know

i am a relatively poor guy(but i dont plan on staying that way). i like the stuff you guys do to your cars, i hope to some day also buy a skyline, r33 i wanted to know if you ever got to race that evo6 again

Hi 200sx, I like your spirit. Keep it up man....:cool:

The EVO 6 has so far eluded me!:mad: However on the last track day, there was another 6 and I tell ya...it was fast. We were not allowed to race on the track but I did kiss his ass for about 3 laps when it was time for him to go to the pit. It handled better than my GTR from the way I looked at it. On the straights though, I think the GTR's 6 engine could eat him up in the 3rd or 4th.

I have a lot of respect for the Evos. Recently, a friend bought an Evo 6. I have yet to drive it. I have read about the Evo 7 and from the reviews I gather it is an awesome car. If only the GTR is 200kg less....than the Evo would be shitting in it's pants. :D

Helium in the tire's:hehehe:

That should lighten it up

lol

Dam, what a car man, r33 . It looks really nice. about the carbon fiber parts i will see if i can find anything for you. i don't get to use a computer often but i will see what i can do.If you do get them that will make your car much lighter(plus the helium):)

Helium in my front tires....hmmm...lemesee.....that would make one helluva wheely next Sunday:D
Thanks 200, for the compliment and for trying to help. Appreciate it.

my pleasure, by the way r33 why arent you allowed to race on the track?

Hey 200, welcome. :)

R33: have you ever driven a WRX STi? I haven't... :(

Hi Racer, how are you dude?
Nope, had never driven one. Non of my friend own a wrx or wrx sti. Would love to try one....have been reading about the new sti...sounds awesome.

200, the track owner does not allow racing or even lap timing. However lap timing is done quietly by us eithet by using oue turbo timer or stop watch:D I guess unsanctioned racing is not allowed on the track. There is also a pack among us trackies not to race each other, after all we go to tha track to have fun and to learn. Racing is however organised every weekend together with drag racing (on Saturday night 8pm-2 am) at a different track. I don't go there as those events are patronised by the souped up Civics and Mits owners who would not hesitate to whack your rear bumper while trying to overtake!:eek:

I'm gr8 dude. :) BTW, how much power do those civics etc. have? Sounds cool. I could probably take them,...lol I think. Oh yeah, I'm also gonna order that torque converter. :D lol It sounds awesome.

Racy, ordering the torque converter already are we? Cool stuff. I have decided to keep it....now am trying with 30% of torque in front. I will write more about it after 29th ...my track day has finally been confirmed. Even without going to the track, cornering feels much more secure and coming out from a corner is much faster. Less understeer and oversteer.
The Civics aree normally 2 doors type with souped up engine using type R materials or Spoon's parts. Could do 145-200 hp (na). Some of them are high on Nos (some drivers are even high on something - judged from the way they behave on the track!). The Mits are normally old Evos 3. Drive like maniacs having diarhoea or something...:mad: These people will instantly become dickheads with a horn or two in the middle when they see a GTR/Supra/Imprezza/RX 7/Evo 6. Thay will do anything to overtake these cars - whether on the track or on busy road in towncentre! I simply HATE them. Luckily, they can't afford to go to the Sepang F1 track. They congregate at the other track on Sats and Sundays. Not enough with that, they sometime have illegal racing on the hiughway after midnight (normally weekend). They are so daring like you wouldn't believe. Sometime ago, there was a report that one of them even knocked a police car while being chased!!

What pshycos... I'm sorry they won't "let" u race there. :(

that sounds like it came out of a video game, me personally, i don't like civics, here in the US everybody seems to have one, that is defenitely not atractive when your mom drives the same type of car that you do

I agree. Civics and Accords were not ment to be fast drag racers and stuff!! It drives me crazy. The ricified ones are the worst. The bodies they put on them actually ADD weight making it go SLOWER. Plus with all of the money they spend on those normal cars they could have spent on an actual fast car. Chevy's Z28 Camaro can be found cheaper the the Type-R Integra, yet it's much faster. I say if your going to spend 40-50 thousand on a Civic or Integra you might as well get a used NSX or import a Skyline GTR. This guy I know spent more money than the cost of a Supra on his Accord. After I slaped him around a bit he had realised he was a fool. Then he sold it to so street racer guy and got him self a Corvette C5. ;) With an upgraded exaust system. :) Off course he was critised by his ricer friends but he doesn't care know. His vette is much faster than his old...accord. <<shivers>>

Racer, spent more money on an Accord than the cost of a Supra? Real nuts...:rolleyes: But you won't be prepared for this guy over here. He converted his Mits to look like a GTR (complete with round tail lights etc). And guess what? He took a block of wood.....(you are gonna like this)....painted it silver to look like an intercooler...and put it in front of the radiator!!:eek2: :evillaugh He is real proud of it too.....he sent the picture to a local mag!! Freakin' nut case of the year!

LOL. It wasn't me with the Accord. It was someone I know. lol. :cool: And WhereTF is that guys brain?? I don't mean to be rude, but, WOOD??!! :eek: That's lame. Adds weight!! lol :rolleyes:

WOOD? that is even more stupid than the whole idea of the conversion, you are right 20, kids in the US any where from 18(my age) to their late 20's work hard to make our pieces of shit look better not realizing that we could have saved all that money to buy a real car, it probably its just part of being young and stupid but it is also part of the male nature to try to costumize and improve your own car, know what im trying to say. Still i dont get the point of buying the same car as every body else

i've seen an integra trying to race vette last weekend, the vette was driving like it was telling the integra to piss off, you know maybe this proves that it is stupidity, also this kid in school got a new integra type R and he actualy dared to say that all the money he is going to put in it will make his car able to beat a Viper:silly: :silly:

Integra Type-R faster than a Viper...LOL :sun: Funny stuff. BTW, have you checked out www.riceboypage.com or something. Sometimes I get teers in my eyes (laughter AND sadness) from looking at the hall of shame. lol :D

As long as they don't put wood in front of the radiator to look like a 'cooler or put 10 fog lights in front (like the one I saw at riceboy web), I suppose it's ok. I mean, a man's meat may be another's poison. As long as the conversion gives actual benefit to thye performance it should be okay. Looking at it from a different angle, some people might say that the amount we are spending on our GTR (or in my case, the amount which I plan to spend on my GTR) plus the price we pay for the GTRmay buy us a used 348 - so what the heck are we doing?
At the end of the day, it's what we like. And that guy with the Viper-eating-Integra-wanabe, I would like to contact him.......now!:frog:

I would like to see him race the Hennesy (sp?) Viper. Body kit. Two huge fart pipes. Twin Turbos. 800+ bhp. nuff said. lol :smoka:

i saw the viper with that kit , i don't remember wich magazine, that car looked scary. the kid droped out of school but i would love to see him get burned:flamer: :flamer:

When I ordered my car, I was told that the R34 GTR stock will lose to the EVO 6 stock. Stock R34 is only running 40% of its engine's capability. However, minor mod to the Skyline will turn this around.

Are you ordering it form MotoRex or r u in a different country? BTW, although it's probably to late now, I think the Tommykiarai ZZ2s might be available in the USA and for the same price as the current cash your spending on a MotoRex R34. Anyway, welcome, I own a R33 from MotoRex. And more and more GTR owners are coming here. Hope u enjoy your stay. :)

And I think you are correct, and R34 will accelerate faster on the straights then a Evo 6 because it has more torque but the lighter weight 4 banger engine in the Evo 6 might and probably duz give it the edge in the turns. :cool:

Racer 20 - I ordered mine in Hong Kong. My 5th grade classmate owns a car dealership in Hong Kong to import all kinds of Japanese car and aftermarket performance parts. He ordered the car for me straight from Nissan and gave me a very good deal on it. The price I am getting is less than what Motorex is charging for their 99 R34 (with no offense I am sure Motorex had spent a lot for its initial investment). I was told by my friend that they had the R34 GTR and Evo 6 both stock racing against each other. He said even the straight away, the R34 would lose too. He told me don't be surprised if I lose to those Evo5,6 or 7 when I get the car. I will have to mod it in order to release its power.

Hi InitialE,welcome to this wonderful and sometime manic world of owning a GTR (it should be GRRRR.....):D But I reckon driving a R34 around a cramped island ain't gonna be as fun as driving it on long highways and twisted country roads.....heh...heh.....
Yes, I think the Evo 6 would eat up your 34 straight out from the box!:mad: But that will not last long.....be cool and wait till you hit the 3rd gear at say....120 kph....mash the pedal and whoops.....at 170 kph in 3rd ...up to the 4th...and you could than see the 6's tiny intercooler in your rear view mirror:greenchai :evillaugh If you want to see a official comparison, go to Autozine at http://home.netvigator.com/~europa/Main_Menu.htm and click "new car" than "Nissan" than "Skyline GTR".
My personal experience with an Evo 6 confirms the report...the 6 blasted away from me in 1st and 2nd but my car was catching up in the 3rd when the highway became cramped with other vehicles..:mad: dammit...where's that 6?:finger: But both the 6 and my GTR were modded.

R33 - Where are you located? I haven't got the car yet, but I really look forward to seeing it in Aug. I don't think I would mod this car because my wife will drive it too. I am afraid she will have a difficult time to handle it. I heard the car is actually 320hp stock even though Nissan claims 280hp. This is gonna be my first turbo car. I am getting really excited about it. :D

Initial, that was what I said when I first had my 33!:D But now it has about 380 rear wheel hp! Next month, I am going to strenghten the bottom end and later I have plan for a 550-600 rated turbo!!:devil: I bet you will never resist the modding temptation (make that " itch!"). It is such a wonderful car that everytime you do something to it, it would reward you with soooo much pleasure that you want more and more from it! And the car delivers everytime you demand more! Damn!
Stock GTR is about 280 bhp. The first thing many owners do is to free the breathing by ditching the restrictive air filters with aftermarket ones...than the exhaust....later the intercooler....the oil cooler (this is a must!)....than the ecu......ad infinitum:jump: The air filters and exhaust change alone will yield another 20-30 hp. Your wife will be afraid initially as did my wife but when she drives the car on high boost, she once clocked 180 kph!:D
BTW, I am in M'sia. Quite near to HK. Hey...can your HK friend source some used carbon fibre parts for my R33? Hope I am not imposing. Peace.

R33 - I know I will be itchy to fix up the car, but like I said I am afraid my wife can't handle that much power. Trust me, I really love to mod car. I spent a lot of money to mod my Type R. It's my only hobby. I think the only mod I would do to the car is the blow off valve, turbo timer and sound system.

I don't think my friend sells used cf stuffs, but anything other than that, he's got them all.

Initial, thanks for the info on the CF stuffs. Well, I think you will enjoy the GTR, modded or unmodded. But hey....(whisper...) if you want to mod it while still keeping it at stock power when your wife drive it, tell me, I think I know what to do :D I am playing the devil's advocate here:devil:

R33 - Ha ha....I like it. I am sure I will contact once I get the car.

BY the way that viper can make 0-60 in 2.4 seconds:eek2:

WHOA........:eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

8l V10 TT. I wouldn't expect anything less. Ahh...Americas great. We always have the faster car. lol You would be surprised if you see it in action too. I heard it can ...get this... actually turn at those speeds. lol :D But alas, I'm kidding myself. A Skyline GT-R, Supra, RX7, M3, HSV GTS 300, NSX, (list goes on and on I didn't even mention TVR's) can be moded just as easily lol. :cool: Ahhh imoprted cars.... *lights a cigar* I love my life.... And soon I will have a ZZ2 or as I will call it, "the get the fuck out of my way or I accelerate and the power will scoop you in to the sky car." :)

is that a tommy kaira

It sure is!! ;) I really hope it will be made... :D

Where in Malaysia you live?? Do you go to Sepang or Batu Tiga to race? Which circuit you go usually?:flash:

At last, a fellow Malaysian on the board!:frog: Welcome Speed19. Where are you located in Malaysia? KL?

I go to Sepang once a month. The greatest fuckin' track on earth!:D My next track day is on the 27th of this month. At least one other R33 and an Evo 6 will be joining me. What do you drive? GTR? Whatever, come and join us:cool:

BTW, I am in KL.
