Not too sure about the mk2, but the mk 1 MR2 has quite a lot going for it. Not only is it a pretty good car to drive but there are tons of tuning options, so they can be a real adventure to own (I...

Just wanted to explain this, in case people don't get it. Hatchiroku is the name given to the AE86 toyota corolla sprinter (hatchi = 8, roku = 6....86, geddit?). It is a rear drive hatch, it is very...
Erm, no. Lots of this is crap. First off, it is rated at 280 ps in Japan, but the same config is quoted 320 bhp in the US. Believe the higher output.
I think most people are saying that the block...
The RACQ awards are always best taken with a grain of salt. I think that too much emphasis is placed on the wrong things in many categories. One of the reasons the Hyundai's always do well in the...
Goodess me, that is about the 20th person I have encountered on this forum who wants to shock everyone by how much they know about cars, and spills the beans that the G35 is a skyline!
Oh, no!...
Guibo, you wanted some figures. Unfortunately I can't give you the 80-150 split you wanted, but I have an article in a supercar book about a Jaguar XJ220 racing a Hayabusa for a standing mile and...
Best of luck with that, FPV. I wanted the same thing, but I let other people and circumstances push me around too much and went in a direction I shouldn't have. Learning about engines is fascinating,...
Crisis, Nissan already have a good V8, the 4.5 from the Infiniti. Incidentally, heavily re-worked of course, it is the engine Nissan plans on using as the skyline V8. The 350 z's six doesn't compare...
The XR 6 turbo wouldn't be able to withstand as much as a GTR block if both are left standard. The Falcon is too long in the stroke. Modified, as with most turbos, the limits come down to turbos...
I always called it the Zed, mostly because it sounds better than zee. Zee sounds too....oh, I don't know, open ended. Zed. Nice and final. It's all about the consonant.
But seriously, surely this...
Bugatti has built cars with 4 turbos before. The EB 110 had 4 small turbos mated to a 12 cylinder 3.7 litre engine. It was very fast and well engineered...a pity nobody bought it.
I think that sounds like a good initiative. Really though, much of the problem stems from 2 areas. One is young experimentation. Youth and young adults don't often consider their own mortality and...
I hate it, although in all honesty the thing I hate most is the spoiler, and that's a feature not limited to this (ridiculous) example.
For the frist time in a little while I have to disagree, Falc. Yes, a V8 sounds nice, but really it flies in the face of what the Skyline is all about. High-tch whizz bang top shelf jap stuff....
Well yes, you could put it like that...it is a very nice car indeed, and has terrific performance. There is a limited version of RB26 equipped 4WD Stageas which are bloody fast and still practical.
...
It is a fair point, but consider these two things. Firstly, there are far more powerful cars available on the road. Also for less money you could buy many other performance cars and make them...
The point I was making megotmea is that some of these 'big single vs small twins' arguments don't take into account that some of the 'small twins' aren't really small at all. Many of them flow around...
400 hp on stock internals is pretty good. I do wonder though how long it would hang together making that sort of power. I guess it would all come down to tuning and keeping things cool. It would be...

Why in the world do you think this? There are twin turbo kits for the Skyline and Supra which have turbos capable of holding over 30 psi each. Most of the good tuning companies, like Trust, APEXi and...
There are actually cars that are turbo and supercharged. Nissan built a racing Micra, known in japan as the March Super-turbo. The biggest problems with such set-ups are reliability and space.
I...
Nothing wrong with deisel cars. Really there are going to be more and more performance deisels as time goes by (European marques are taking them very seriously indeed) and they are improving greatly....
I love the Ferrari, although really they aren't quite aimed at the same buyers. The Ferrari would be exhausting to live with, really not suited to anyone except as a second car. Still, it would be a...
It is really odd, but the Cerbera actually has Australian compliance. While I have yet to see a Cerbera here (I have seen a couple of very old TVRs at club races) they were on a printed list of the...
I think the Ford GT has a pretty good claim to that title. After all, it was the car that crushed the unbeatable Ferrari racing team in the 60's Le mans events. Obviously it is still recognisable and...
