Skyline Vs Mustang

[SkylineUSA]

Have you ran your car yet, StageOneGalant.

How big is that turbo? What compression are you running? What gears do you run?

Sounds like a pretty fierce ride

[StageOneGalant]

My turbo goes something like this Stage/Level 3 turbo has a 3" inlet compressor housing and the standard 7cm exhaust housing. it has a 54 trim Garrett wheel and the larger TD06 turbine wheel to decrease exhaust back pressure. this turbo will flow about 690cfm and is rated for 500/550hp.



Jus a run down.. i wanna go more.. but i may kill myself.. thanxs for asking.

Sorry about the absence gentlemen. Had to move

SkylineUSA that 148 mph is on 205/17/45 Yokohama paradas

I haven't yet found a slick that is worth the money, any suggestions

In my absence I did mean to install a new tranny, custom 425 gear ratio, a Yoshimitsi short throw w/ shift knob:o a new motorex wastegate to match w/ twin blow-off's

I have done some interior work, removed back seat, and gutted it except dash board, two Sparco lightweights, that's pretty much it.

Galant: got any pictures, big fan of ralliart productions.

No I don't have pictures yet, no scanner or digital camera, spent every last penny I had on the accord, failed to make rent so I had to move. Not FUNNY

The worst part of all this my car's upkeep costs less than the old lady and her expensive tastes.

[SkylineUSA]

So, basically your just building a 1/4 miler?

Slicks, M/T. Old school, but they work.

I am not trying to flame you, just give you some sound advice. And you are right, its not funny about not making rent. If there is a circumstance about your not making rent, I would understand, but if its based on the fact that your car has consumed you to the point of you not making your rent, you might want to reassess your priorities.

How much do you have in your car?

Are you trying to make a name for yourself? I am guessing this is a business thing for you, and I hope you the best of luck.

[smittymotorsports]

Skyline USA, there is about $48,000 in that car not including the cost of the car, which wasn't much, something like $4,500.
The only reason I have put so much money into this car is the fact that I am trying to get a motorsports company to buy the car from me at a price in the lower 100's. I basically took a risk, along with my father.

I do have a steady job, so its not like I am eatin spam or anything like that, its just cars have been a passion my entire life, and money just doesn't seem important to me. I don't want to fool ya, I have recieved most of the parts from companies who want advertising.

I apreaciate the concern Skyline USA, I am lined up with a motorsports company to sponsor me and hopefully give me a spokesperson job.

Gotta Run, SmittyMotorsports:sun:

[SkylineUSA]

Got ya, Its very expensive to be different.

Like I said if its a bussiness adventure I wish you the best of luck. Man, you know what I could do with 50k in parts

*Thinks*

Mmmmmm:licker: :licker:

Just think about it Sky Next time you get bored, just run down what parts you would get and what your projected HP and handeling would be with them. Thats what I do when I'm bored at work, don't we all?


Smitty: Very interesting project you've got there I'm interested, what turbos are you using? What kind of electronic setup?

[smittymotorsports]

Gonthrax, where's the name from?

I am boostin with twin T-26B turbos, and a programmable Greedy ECU hooked up to a "borrowed" lap-top, a few gauge toys, boost controller, motorex turbo timer, and stero equipment.

I did get that job, and I am going to be compensated greatly, including parts at 10% below COST. I couldn't believe the chick when she offered me that option or more money.

As a celebration gift I orderd a front mount Blitz double core intercooler w/ three inch piping to match.

I feel like idiot not asking about your cars, gents. What are you guys running with, and such? (Skyline USA, Gonthrax) Got any pictures, like to see them? (wish I had some)

Gentlemen, take it easy, take it fast, and take anything:sun:

[SkylineUSA]

Well my sig has my car in its current state. I will post some picks as soon as I get some, I am still unpacking boxes from the move to europe. I will be upgrading my supercharger 15lbs, aftercooler, going with front and rear coilovers, torque arm, panhard bar, new LCAs, programable chip, upgrade fuel delivery, bigger injectors 42lbs, bigger MAS, Tremec TKO, shaving 200lbs, roll cage, new steering rack, Corbeau seats, maybe a custom cam, battle boxes, and I hope to have all this done by the end of the year. This should put the car deep in the 9s and I will only have about 14k into the car. Right now I have about 400hp to the ground I should be in the high 500s when done. I will not run her in the 1/4 anymore, as you know that is hell on a car, I will be going roadracing to go Skyline Hunting

Congrates on your job, now get your car to hook up

[smittymotorsports]

SkylineUSA, what part of Europe did you move to?

Nice place to move to, beautiful woman, beaches, skylines, and all that other good s***.

You talked about Skyline hunting, I bet you could over take them if they haven't very many mods. Road course racing? Are you sponsered yet, or do you just have that kind of money? 15 lbs of boost on a road course will still be murded on you stang, you might think about lowering the boost pressure, or even bore your cyclinders, to handle that much boost for long periods of time. Have you upgraded your oil pressure, or do you have a resovoir on hand, for more oil, cause you will burn a significant amount of oil over somany laps. How many laps per race will you be running? What class will you be competing in? Road racing is by far the most exilerating and challenging type of racing there is to date. Don't get me wrong I love haulin' ass down the 1/4 but like you said it is absolute murder on your car. Everytime I take it to the 1/4, I basicly have to rebuild her down to the block and tranny.

Update on the Accord TT: I purchased a set of Rays Eng. 17 inch wheels with Pirelli P-Zero's to match.

:sun: When in Doubt... just fuckin' floor it. Smitty Motorsports

Take care Skyline USA:sun:

[SkylineUSA]

You are right about the 15lbs, I'll go with 12, but when I shoot my N2O it should drop to about 10lbs. I am still in the planning stages, since I have not received my stuff yet.

Oil, I am going with a deep sump, windage tray, and oil cooler, It should be OK for the few times I take her out, but if not I have another engine I can build. A stroked 351w '69 block w/ forged internals, that will be a torque monster with a Supercharger and N2O.


Racing is on my dollar(or pound since I am in England) and they have track days were you just go out there and play around full blast.

Next weekend I am going to a dyno run with a bunch of Skylines, I post my numbers when I get back. I know some of the GTRs that will be there will be over 600bhp, BIG BUCKS


Skyline hunting, I truely mean that in the most respectful way. Hell, they had an EVO putting out 360bhp yesterday on the Rev Bobs Torque Show( Local British Car Show), that is impressive. That car would smoke mine right now, but not when I get done.

Smitty, I posted some pics of my car on the ford, mustang page if you want to check her out.

Keep up the work on the car, and good luck.

[SkylineUSA]

I am rethinking that deep into the 9s crap, maybe deep 10s is a lot more realistic

[japan_freak]

theres no better car like skyline i dont hate american cars but compare european cars with american cars, or japan cars.Its not that im hating american cars but most of this cars are very bad, ok the american and japan tuning are the greatest but the best car is skyline of these two cars

[SkylineUSA]

Everyone has there opinion on this subject, your biased as most people are. I would be damned if I sank my money into a car and turned around and called it a piece of crap. You might think my car is, but I don't. I have the numbers to back it up.

You own a Skyline, so of course you are going to back that car. Another guy drives a Ferrari guess what his opinion going to be. Another guy drives a TT Supra, guess what car he will favore?

If your knowledgable enough to work on cars, you can build any car to beat another, just depends on MONEY. Is my Stang better than your R34, no, but is it faster in the 1/4 probably yes. Would I spend the money for an R34, No. Would I dump that much money into my Stang, No. If we raced and you beat me, would I go back home and do so more mods, Yes. Thats the fun of it. I have a little bit of mechanical knowledge, and I can show it off by racing, and I try to do it as cost effectively as possible, because of limited funds.

Do I wish I had a R34, HELL YES

Can we see some pics of your car?

[NiteskyR]

haha excelent stuff tony
KNOW thine enemy lol
