The car was a Nissan Skyline GTR R34, it had exhaust and boost controller, boost set at 1.5bar, and had cwest front bumper and cwest sideskirts and a Blitz BOV.

The car just looks amazing, and the ride, that thing is freaking fast. No words to describe it, simply put, try it before you die. As the car climbs towards redline, youre just stuck to the seat, and theres no tire squeeling at all. Its officially the fastest car ive ever ridden in.

 

sorry, for being OT, im just simply at a loss of words.

 

coincedence? i just saw a nice silver one on the way home from work. it was on the 57fwy north and exited in diamond bar.

in chicago area, its a blue one. i rode in it today, so fast, ive never been stuck to my seat that hard in my life.

 

you need to drive a 911 turbo

 

i mean, the fastest car you've been in may have been a stock hyundai, for all i know!

kafene

 

i think ur feelings are a lil bias because the car is rare here in the states...if it was offered here i don't think u would be so thrilled about the car...plenty of other cars that is faster then the skyline...

 

Sorry SkylineGTR, but I have to agree with Yellowbrother. Go ride in a Viper or even a Vette Z06 and then reply.

viper gts is muy bonita!

 

See if Lingenfelter will take you for a spin in his 7 liter vette. It's in MotorTrend this month:

0-60 = 1.97 sec (yes, 1.97)
0-100 = 4.33 sec
0-150 = 9.27 sec

That sort of acceleration would rearrange your internal organs somewhat.

Wouldn't a driver pass out with that kind of acceleration??? Hell how would he get all that power to the ground?

 

You wouldn't pass out from that type of acceleration at all. I believe the human body can physically handle something like 6 or 7 g's for sustained periods.

Bikes run in or near that range from the factory. Dragsters run quicker than that. Sure would make for a fun street car, don't you think?

I'd love to pull up to someone, pop the hood (you have to see the pics in the mag as it has the factory 5.7L rocker cover trim pieces), and get some Viper owner to race. That would be some serious fun.

Albert

 

I almost pass out when you floored yr 6spd max in first gear @ last dyno meet

 

grip matters.. you can spin all you want. and yeah, there is a certain mystic for a car you can't get in the states, and a nice looking/performing one at that!

kafene.

 

i think it would just be great to own one, the skyline is too damn nice of a car. But it is by far not the fastest. I think my friend's CLK compressor may be faster, and that car hawls ***.

 

of course my opinion is biased....look at my login name.
anyway, 1.5 bar is by no means slow, and as for looks, in my opinion, the skylines got vettes and vipers beat. A 22psi GTR has a CLK Kompressor beat im pretty sure.

On the way home from there, we saw 3 carreras, and a Lotus Esprit V8, so all in all it was a rather amazing day. As for the previous fastest car ive been in, it would have to be a 5.0 Stang GT running 150shot, pre 94, it was stick and it was fast, but the skyline was faster by a significant margin.

As for its looks, yea the rarity of the car in the states makes it far more appealing than a vette or viper, regardless of the GTR being slower when stock. Just seeing this thing is just amazing, all the pictures u see in magazines and on websites, doesnt even prepare u to see this thing in person. Its nose isnt quite as long as pictures seem to make it, first thing i noticed is that the length was shorter than i had expected, but everythign else was better than i thought it would be, the LCD in the center console is just amazing at what it does. The stock seats are racing seats, the rear seats are grooved for 2 people, and the engine was simply beautiful. I've been a Nissan fan since i first found out about cars, and finally getting to see Nissan's best, thats the reason im probably blowing the whole thing out of proportion, but i still reccomend that u see one in person.

 

Where are you in Chicago?? Im in the Suburbs

 

im in suburbs too....morton grove, IL
the GTR is down in chinatown, shop known as topspeed, its not really a shop, they jsut sell a whole buncha parts.

 

SkylineGTR, Let's go visit Chinatown this friday. Sound good? I can say hi to my grandparents and blow a few roles of film on the Skyline

 

haha so this is your name on the org. uve had a maxi way longer than i have and ur still a lurker.

 

That's exactly what i do, lurk at the .ORG i also do this at the R6 board [LINK]http://www.r6messagenet.com[/LINK]. Friday it is!

 

Hmmm. You mean to tell me, this guy is selling a 9 sec street legal Vette? I would assume if he could go 0-100 in 4.33 sec, he must be going about 140-150 mph in the 1/4 mile.

 

0-60 in 1.97 seconds...yeah right...i'll believe that when I see it. There is no way a car can move that quickly without losing traction.

Erik

 

You're kidding me. Have you ever been to a dragstrip? There are loads of pro street cars running 10" slicks well into the 9's like the Lingenfelter. Yes, the car was on slicks. Bikes nearly run that from the factory.

I agree that it won't be done on Potenza's but it don't mean it can't be done.

Albert

 

I've ridden in a new Z06 Vette, and DAMN!! That thing is fast. But I have ridden in one car that was faster.

My boss has a custom made Superformance Shelby Cobra replica, with a custom race engine that has 496 RWHP.

Both these cars are so fast, that it's really hard to tell which is faster, so I'm guessing by HP and weight the Cobra is faster. It doesn't really matter cause both times I was too busy smiling and laughing at how fast we were going.

 

A link to a slightly detuned version (725 hp vs. 800 hp) with price and other links:

I don't have the magazine with me, but I believe he did run 150 mph in the 1/4.

He builds some monster cars.

Albert

 

9.5 for the 1/4" mile. I think that's about right for a 750hp car I guess. The TT supras on Singles are running just about that I suppose also.

 

Sorry Vyrus, but you need to go and ride a GT-R that is running 1.5bar of boost. As I don't know the exact mods to it I can only quess what it would put out roughly. In the neighborhood of 500hp, if not more, and that is on the wheels. That is what the estimate on my GT-R is after this week, running 1.4bar on pump gas.

 

In case you haven't seen this before: http://exvitermini.com/movies/vsrh9.mpg

Veilside running their GT-R from 0-300km/h in 13.72s. That is 0-188mph in imperial units.

 

Yup...thats the only way....I shoulda been more specific...

"There is no way a car can move that quickly without losing traction unless on slicks"

Erik

 

u guys are talking about Vettes running on twin turbo and motors with built bottom and top ends. The GTR i rode in was practically stock, new exhaust, stock intakes, blow off valve and a boost controller, set the boost at 1.5bar, and that was it, no reinforced bottom end, no head work, the motor was stock, and just overboosting.

 

Stock turbos? Then it will not have the hp I estimated. You can safely run them at 1.1bar, at 1.5bar they are not going to last long.

 

bikes run around 3's, no way can they do 1.97 secs.

 

But I know for a fact some do stock, like 1000cc+ bikes. I'm going to try and find a link with exact times because i don't know much about bikes, but I know a few are that fast.

PJ

 

You wanna see a skyline, There was a silver one, Usually at Life Plaza.... For those who dont know what Life Plaza is, its a big asian place with lots of fixed up cars. One nigt, we say 2 supras, s-13, s-14, Fixed up NSX, Skyline R-34 and some others. It usually a car show there. Right next to the 60 Fwy and really close to 57 Fwy

 

Stock 600cc bikes are actually quicker 0-60 than the 1000cc bikes due to the difference in weight. R6 does 0-60 in 2.3 Stock. The R1 is just a little slower, but it just pulls away from the 6 when it gets going. Bike's doing 0-60 in under 2 sec is hard to come by. You'll definitely need a slick, or you'll just make heavenly smoke.

 

Interesting, I wrote the last post from school and my old user name showed up. Well that was me so you all know.

Life Goal: Turbo the R6

 

Im sure the skyline wasnt as fast as me

 

yuo go there too??? WAHAAHAHA I went ummm twice in my Max... 2am nites in Rowland Heights never saw a Skyline tho
yah add my Max into that list of crazy cars =) its THAT cool

the Lingenfelter COrvettes are CRAZY! I'd take one any day over a Skyline... quarter mile in 9.24 for a 49 state legal car (I dont think its CA legal) 810hp running 15psi... ONLY 15psi
