What is better?

[fastrThanU]

No vintage muscle? C'mon man.

[DVSNCYNIKL]

R34 baby!

[SickLude]

R34 all the way man.

[NB8CT]

From what you put in your poll, a R34 no question, but I would rather have a R32 GTR V-Spec.

out of interest why an R32? the R34 and R33 are faster.

Also on a similar note, what are the specs on the R34? I don't know much about Skylines.

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

well the specs hmmmm .....



Engine 2.6 L inline six with twin turbo chargers - Japan has produced many 1000hp+ Skyline with the most powerful built by HKS 1600hp



Fuel System Type Petrol
Delivery Multi-Point Injection

Aspiration Turbocharged

Engine data Capacity (cc) 2568
Power (bhp) 280
Cylinders 6
Camshaft DOHC
Valves per cylinder 4

Max speed (mph) 155
0-60 mph 5.0 secs
Kerb Weight (kg) 1540

The fearsome nurburgring in Germany is a very twister track the Skyline holds the fastest lap time for a production car which is under 8 minutes - It has an electronic 4 wheel drive system so it can go around corners faster than your average import!!!

this poll was doomed the minute the Skyline was added.

Sorry but the Skyline will rule out right.

skylines were banned from japanese grand touring car championships way back when the r32 came out cuz they were too much for the other cars.

[NismoDrifts]

yeah.....the whole "skyline is god's car" is kinda annoying, if it werent nissan, id hate it

anyway, looks like im one of the three people that wanna spin that rotary

[Jimster]

Skyline all the way

I just love the way they look, and I belive they are lighter. And plenty of power can be had from the RB26. I have a Option2 mag that compares a greddy twin turbo kit to a greddy single. The twin turbo kit on the RB26 powered R33 GTR made the exact same power as the Single turbo RB26 of the R32. There was however a lot more area under the torque and hp curves of the twin, naturally. In fact the curve of the R33's twins rounded out at redline, the R32's single continued to rise until redline.

Actually on the dyno the R33 and R32 produced nearly identical power figures in standard trim.

Anyone claiming the R33 is faster has no idea what they are talking about. The R33 is heavier and a slightly wider wheel base and body. There for more power is needed to achieve the same acceleration. The R33 does have a slightly stronger block as Nissan discovered that the early model R32's had a flaw and tended to crack between the #4 and #3 cylinder walls when pushed extremely hard ie: over 40 psi of boost. The R33 and later model R32's had a more refined ATTESSA systems which makes for better acceleration off the line.

There have been aruguments of single and twin turbo set ups for years. The top cars in Japan all run a twin turbo setup, even the mighty Vailside and HKS street/drag cars. They are massive turbos also. The hp figures are insane for an engine under 3 liters in capacity. HKS managed to squeeze over 1600 bhp on a dyno before the motor snapped the titainium con-rods on the dyno. I don't have all the figures on that motor but from what our HKS distributor said they were running over 47psi of boost on race gas and the motor was still making hp at a rapid rate when it let go! That is purely insane!
