I have a feeling that the weight factor is signicant across 400m, and I think that's been demonstrated in our cruises with r31skylineclub.com. Top speed? That could be a different story.

I think its just too close to call really

The only thing that would tell is a real quarter mile run between the 2 base models.

Anyhow, i think we should all be happy that we own Nissans and stick together!

This is starting to sound like we drive other unnamed Aussie built Cars and have the attitude to go with it

Lets just wait till we see some quarter mile times and maybe a decision can be made from there as to what is the quickest car.

As far as bang for bucks goes, i think the r31 has well and truly demonstrated that its the BIG winner here.

noss said something about the abundance of bolt on goodies that are avaliable for RB30's and he is too right, all thanks to VL-T's. So if your looking for something that you dont have to spend big dollars on to gain reasonable kilowatts and extra torque from, the r31 wins hands down.

You guys would know more about what can and cant go in u12 pintara's but from what ive seen the KA24E is probably not the way to go if you want big horsepower (the RB30 bottom end is good for 800hp in standard form, but who knows how long it would hold out), possibly SR20's if they bolt in. The Pulsars with the SR20's did exceptionally well with what seemed not alot of modifications.

All these cars have great potential none the less and remember, we owe it to Nissan that we own such great automobiles ( and we r31 owners owe it to nissan for such crappy electrics

).

Peace

Yep, that's the only thing gonna prove it.

I just wanted to point out the separation in 'quickest' over the 1/4 mile vs. an extended straight line race. There are factors in there, such as kW and gear ratios, that define 'quickest'. Now I'm just getting pedantic, hehe.

yeah, there are a few sr20det trx's around.. one of which makes a tidy 160kw @ the wheels

SyP4on: From what i've heard, the KA24 bottom end is quite over engineered, it's weakness being thin piston ring lands that cannot stand up to much more than 7psi in turbo form. Also, the bore spacing is quite thin too....

I'd love to come but it'd be too far to drive!!

Anyways... I don't care anymore which one's faster... they're both Nissans so who gives!?!?!

My point that I've never lost to one though still remains.

You don't need to be there with us, just go to a local strip and get some time sheets of your runs.

Like you said, theyre both Nissans, and the fact that we're all loyal to Nissan should be enough, but apparently, for some people, they need to prove that their car is 'better' than everyone elses.

That's more of an ego thing.

I've never seen a U12 Pintara run at Calder... which more than likely means that they don't go to fast...
Yeah sure, they look good, but how much money to you need to spend on one to make it boogey?

hmm then you must not have been at calder on 10th August 2001? Which is when I ran my car down there

now I didnt set any records but had some fun. I only managed a 16.7 @ 85mph. My trx was an auto and almost never wheelspins on the road - just ask any of these guys who have raced me!

At calder I was wheel spinning heaps due to the crap they put on the track [I believe its water] plus my temperature from lining up for ages was less than optimum. Not making excuses just advising that on the average run on the street I would estimate a much lower 16 second pass compared to running at calder.

I also took my baby trx around sandown on a sprint day back in July 2000 and came 2nd in my car class - guess what the winner was driving...

A red manual trx

[no joke] Other cars in our class were, Datson 240 and 260z's and a couple of others - too long ago now to remember. Had heaps of fun that weekend though

I also looked at buying a silo series III but ended up going for the trx mainly based on it looking more modern and performance was great when i tested a couple - skylines were a couple grand more back then and I never test drove one so cant comment on power personally. They are both good cars and I believe both have potential.

I am under the impression that most of the R31's that "boogie" are turbocharged? Now your gonna have to be fair and compare one of these "disco dancers" with a turbo trx not an atmo! C'mon K be fair

How did the pics turn out?

Dale.

You WILL see me down at Calder in the near future.

bring it on.
i'll take any car that thinks he can match it with a 33-t and i've got a 31

I had a few runs with nismotrx-dale (before he swapped cars... mmm 34) in my old AUTO coupe that was stock right down to the 2 1/4 exhaust and it was surprisingly quick and he had me everytime. But even an NA RB30E would not be caught by trx. Initially they are quick but in the end i think the R31 has the legs.

Time for a rematch mate? you will probably get me this time though ? dunno...

SSS · « **Reply #70 on:** May 5, 2003, 05:20PM »

You know Nismo, if you don't come and bring the R34 out when the drag day is on, i think noss and i may have to come round to your house and drag you out.....

have you guys set a date for this yet?

R31Nismoid: so you have weighed your car then?

If yours weighs in at 1,400kgs then mine must be 1500 or more...?

or you could always have both in one(if your lucky enough). nissans SVD in 1987 made 4 skyline trx's (i know because my dad worked for nissans svd and helped make them + i own 1 of them) i have driven a standard R31 and it has absolutly NO COMPETITION to a skyline trx.

they dynod the skyline TRX's at 185 true kw compared to standard skylines at 113 true kw (which is still more than the pintaras 78kw).
they have a very similar bodykit to a pintara trx, 15inch CSA mags, 3 inch exhaust, upgraded fuel injection system, similar computer to the GTS-R but with a better performance chip, larger throttle body, extractors, larger cams and a few other bits and pieces.

all were made from GXE's and all are RED
