Guest ALB_BOY Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Ive just been challenged by a mate at work and he says he will easly beat me off the line with his Skyline R33 GTS. I told him he hasnt got a chance but im not very sure to be honest cos i've never raced a skyline. We've agreed to do it this sunday. I will keep you uptodate. What do you guys think? Any tips?

Guest ALB_BOY Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 its just a gts mate. i think i've got this in the bag. he is still very confident that he will beat me though, i cant wait to wipe that smile off his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ALB_BOY Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 im not really sure what hp mine is running at. whats the average for an n/a? the guy i bought it from said its at about 260bhp. its in for a service tomorrow anyway, doing all the oils and filters.

Hobgoblin Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I drove a GTS recently, and it did seem noticeable faster than my n/a. Perhaps you could employ a marksman, to shoot his tyres if he is getting ahead. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 If it's a just a GTS and not the turbo the GTS-T you should have no problem depending on driver skill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Pretty even I'd say, he has much lighter weight on his side, even with a 500 cc defecit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 gts i'm thinking, would be nice to see you take him, keep us informed and goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ALB_BOY Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 had all the oils and filters changed today. been doing a bit of practicing too after i got it back, cant wait for the countdown:eyebrows: , if i have a good strart i should do him, my tyres are anly a couple of months old so should be ok for traction. got to beat him by any means or four sunday dinners and drinks on me.

Guest ALB_BOY Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 :d i knew i was going to win and i did, an by quite a distance. i must admit he was a bit quicker off the line but caught up and then left him reading my back number plate all the way to the finish. and obviosely we didnt go over the speed limit:innocent:. it was wet so it wasnt much fun but well worth it, just to shut him up.

ChrisSZ Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Nice one!! :) A gobby little twerp at my local has just got himself one and recons he'll do the Supe (mind you, he also recons it's running 350 brake, his old FTO would see 160 and his Celica st202 was faster than my 185 so I'm not that worried LOL). I'll look forward to letting him know the truth :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dee_rz Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 i'm guessing it's one with an rb20 in it and not thr rb25 if it's the rb25 well done, if it was the rb20 then i'd have guess that would be the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Ive had both! My R33 GTSt was slightly modded but i still think my NA Supe would have it on a 1/4 mile. My GTSt was be quicker off the mark than the Supe (as you found out) but once the Supe is up and running and rolling i think it has the edge.
