turbotoaster · 18th October 2005, 01:22 PM

im looking around now for a r32 skyline, 2 compete with the cars that a proping up around where i live.

there is a 550bhp lancia intergrale
couple of 500bhp cossies
2 550bhp 300zxs
400bhp evos, and the usual m3s

i dont earn alot of money so i cant keep replacing turbos so its once on, stays on, cant have it too laggy as its going to be road car, what would u go for as i want to be competitive

Pikey · 18th October 2005, 01:36 PM

Or till they destroy their driveline......

wayner32 · 19th October 2005, 05:51 AM

or until they park it in someones front garden backwards

Dave_R1001 · 19th October 2005, 10:49 AM

The safest of those listed has to be the "400hp Evo", even then thats running at the ragged edge of the standard turbo.

'grale... wont last long, the cosworth... its a ford, need I say more? Not sure on ZX's though?

DAN00H · 19th October 2005, 11:09 PM

if you are seriously thinking GTR, then get one that has HKS GT2530 turbos, or buy one and fit these

Gez · 20th October 2005, 06:40 AM

lol...just buy a semi drag R32 GTR with 700bhp and a propper sequential striaght cut gear box so when you engage 1st and it makes that gorgeous sound they just sh1t themselves and back off

Assuming that the above contenders are all reliably tuned then you'll need to be running a decent spec - which means decent maintenance costs - to get on top of the Lancia, Cossies and Evos.

The M3s and 300ZXs can be despatched easily enough with well balanced cornering and launches (they ARE rwd after all). A very competent driver in either of those two would be hard to do over, but I think truly competent drivers of the caliber of M3s and 300ZXs are few and far between...

An R32 is an old(ish) car. If you upgrade it to produce the necessary power to stand shoulder to shoulder with your local competition then you'll be paying out more on maintenance. 12-15 year old performance car components will wear out pretty quickly if you're running close to double the standard power. So it ain't a cheap project...

Whereabouts do you live, I might know the 550bhp 300zxers!

R33_GTS-t · 21st October 2005, 05:03 PM

Don't worry about there being something faster than you. That will always be the case. Even if you have a ludicrously fast car, there'll be ZX-10Rs and GSXR1000s with Yoshimura systems and Power Commanders that will leave you for dead.

.... and lunatics with 300rwhp turbocharged Hyabusa's will leave them for dead.

Enjoy your car for what it is.

kirbz · 22nd October 2005, 08:34 AM

Cant speak from the evo and the cossies but i very much doubt the 550 bhp 300zx's as i know most of the people who are running reasonable power and theres ony 2 or 3 people in the country running anywhere near that sort of power in a 300zx so BS i think
