Are Skyline more powerfull than GTOs? Dynoshoot out! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

GTO NEMESIS · 22nd February 2007, 06:45 PM

Well to find out I have arranged a shootout...

Please do let me know if you guys are interested.
If you chaps aren't interested I will post it up on the other Skyline forums.

-----------

As some of you may know I have been talking about arranging this for 18 months – Now it is a reality.
I also discussed it at a Skyline rolling road day at Power Engineering early last year.
http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/s...024#post413024

DATE: Saturday 26th May 2007

The Gauntlet:
Who has the most power between the Skyline club and the GTO club?

The Criteria:

CLASS One – AWD/4WD only:
Ten of the best cars from each club will be entered to compete for the total maximum power. I am in negotiation to have the event covered by a Jap car magazine, so far the feed back is that only ten cars from each club can be featured but the other cars can have their details listed in an overall league table.
This category is for privateer cars only or ‘small tuning companies’ IE the company does not have their own Dyno.

[CLASS Two – Open Category:
The day is open to 40 cars in total, 20 Skylines and 20 GTO’s.
I will be choosing the top ten cars to represent GTOUK, the remaining places will be on a first come first served basis. If you want to be a featured car then please let your event organiser know when listing yourself for the event.
Any GTO or Skyline can be entered into this category.
(Someone will need to do this for the Skyline Owners.)

Trophies will be issued for the best in class/category – The categories are as follows:

Overall Grand Champion – BHP + Torque (Sponsored by Amber Performance)
Best of breed – Most Power (BHP) (One for each Marque) – (Sponsored by Evil Empire Performance)
Highest Power on the day (BHP)
Most Torque on the day (LBS/FT)
Most powerful stock car (BHP)
Best in Class 2 – Most BHP (IE the car with the most BHP out of the none featured cars)

The Grand Champion will also receive a voucher from Amber Performance for a set of brake pads for their car. http://www.amber-performance.co.uk/
Evil Empire Performance will supply a set of HKS Niridium Sparkplugs as a prize for one of the categories. http://www.evilempireperformance.co.uk/
Thank you James & Rob for this kind offer – Both Companies offer specialist parts for the Japanese Tuning market

Skyline Traders – Do you want to sponsor a category?

The Venue:
Torque of the Devil
Uxbridge Industrial Estate
Uxbridge
Middlesex
UB8 2FR

Torque of the Devil is a new tuning company and has a brand new, state of the art Dyno Dynamics chassis dynometer with a power rating of 2800 BHP!
The graph will display BHP, Torque, RPM and AFR. :smoker:

Torque of the Devil Director Chris Todd (Formally of Power Engineering) will be running the cars on the day.
Two coast runs will be done to monitor the fuelling before the third and final power run is done.

When I say new I really do mean NEW, as in it is just being fitted!

(Picture taken on Monday 19th February 2007)

The Cost:
£39.50 Inc VAT if we have 38+ cars
£42.00 Inc Vat if we have less than 38 cars

Spectators are more than welcome.

Making a party of it:

For those of you who fancy a night out before the main event I will be organising a night out on the town! (Well Uxbridge anyway!)
The evening is open to competitors and non competitors alike. Partners or fiends are welcome too.

I can arrange hotel accommodation for the Friday night should you wish to join the party!

I do hope you boys are up for the challenge! It should be a fantastic day.
The day is more about having fun and mixing with other car clubs than results but numbers will win the prizes

I'm up for this. Have some friends over on the Colt side who would murder me if I didn't take an opportunity to take a poke at the mighty

GTO.

Problem is my front splitter is so low that if the rollers aren't raised, the front end will get ****ed.

I think you will find it difficult getting any of the "normal" bhp GT-Rs out as they have been dyno'd to death. Only those who have not dyno'd before will probably want to take part unfortunately.

This was the bhp poll from Aug 2006 I think...

A post from the past...well 2002!

View Poll Results: How much power have you got at your CRANK?

200-300 10...8.70%
300-350 7...6.09%
350-400 17...14.78%
400-450 18...15.65%
450-500 9...7.83%
500-600 23...20.00%
600-700 14...12.17%
700-800 8...6.96%
800-900 5...4.35%
900+ 4...3.48%

Thats a shame. I thought it would be good to have a bit of a club shoot out.
When ever the two cars are discussed the GTR is always said to be the king of the power stakes.
Normaly we strugle to get 10 cars at a GTOUK dyno day but we have almost made the 20 so far and there are far far less GTO's in the UK than Skylines.

I hope more people do sign up as it is looking like the GTO are going to storm it at the moment

Confirmed names so far:
1) pitbull 270bhp.
2) cromwell
3) Sloathy 400...ish bhp.
4) Jae - 400+
5) andrew 32
6) dean j

We have a few stock and limited BPU's signed up and an NA, but there are a few 500+BHP cars listed too.

SteveN · 22nd February 2007, 09:18 PM

Who cares if GTOs "win" a boring RR day, nobody barring the most blinkered fool would think they better cars for power, or, err, anything.

Whats the fastest proven GTO in the UK anyhow?

mava_rules · 22nd February 2007, 09:57 PM

^^ bit harsh?! fair play to him for inviting 'rival' car owners. just my opinion.

R32 Combat · 22nd February 2007, 10:04 PM

Stick SteveN on the rollers, he's got more torque than anything I've seen...

m6beg · 22nd February 2007, 10:16 PM

The Lemon went on one of the rollers a while back.

Nearly took off.

They couldn't hold it down.
Need the dyno mate. Safest way and correct figures,

Mick

skyline69_uk · 22nd February 2007, 10:31 PM

It would be a fun day for some I'm sure but it will in no way be "who has the most power" as those guys ain't gonna go in force (maybe someone would?).

There are plenty of GT-Rs and GT-Ss etc making VERY big power (a good number over 800bhp and several even over 1000bhp) but they have done all their dyno days a long time back and are now more concerned with winning events and doing 8 and 9 seconds quarters now. You should be able to get a few of the others maybe to give it a go but don't think for one moment it will represent a GTO vs Skyline event (the Supra is more the natural opponent for the Skyline in big power stakes).

I think it's good to hear from other clubs Mark

I have raced a quick GTO at Santa Pod, over 500 bhp with NOS and Butane injection.

hyrev · 23rd February 2007, 12:53 AM

Take it to the track and let the cars do the talking. See which club has more
skills (drivers), both drag and circuit. Would be nice to have that challenge here
in Japan. The GTR's would dominate!

What's with your arsy post?

The idea of the dyno day was to have a bit of fun. I was going to organise one for GTOUK anyway so why not involve another Marque of car and have a bit of friendly competition?

As we only have 3 cars that have previously dyno’ed over 500BHP it’s not like I was arranging the day to trounce the Skyline owners.

I chose the Skyline as it is 4WD unlike the 300ZX or the Supra, that way no one could say ah we only lost because we have AWD.
(Hence Class One)

Good to see you other chaps see it as a bit of fun.
