[byronleehk]

My favoriate....

Xanavi Nismo Skyline GT-R
Twin-Turbo VQ engine rated @ 500hp

[UK CARS]

r33 gtr

[Ferrari Tifosi]

My favorite would have to be the R32 GTR, an absolutely beautiful car with great performance to back it.

my favourite stock skylie would be the r34 GT-R v-spec nur N1.
and for aftermarket highlines it would have to be a top secret skyline, over 1000hp from the shop!!! nuff said

dude its limited to 280 stock
before even being able to reach that type of horsepower you'd prolly have to replace the pistons, camshaft, transmission, clutch, prolly even spark plugs, intake and exhaust manafolds because of the turbo boost ull be running ... oh btw prolly a new bov and intercooler, better brakes so u can actually stop um what else am i missing, oh yea the ecu which ull need help with tuning ... this is all from the shop?

ps i personally hate and despise skylines. dont get me wrong, i think they by themselves are nice machines which are brilliant and in some ways ingenious but the attitude which everyone has towards em totally ruins the car

it has been brought to a level near supernatural seemingly god like by idiots and 12 year olds alike. the facts are, the skyline is a good car, it is a great car, but it is just a car. ferrari's porsches mercedes bmw, they are all cars but they are also symbols they stand for prestiege (ferrari and porsche) with a racing heritage (all of em) which manage to be stylish, polite and sophisticated at the same time (Mercedes and BMW).

im pretty sure he was talking about the TOP SECRET skyline, for those who dont know, top secret are a japanese tuning company that make insane cars. they have made a 1000bhp+ rb26 powerd supra, a 600bhp + s14 (silvia) and a huge R33 or R34 gtr, its insane, ive lost the magazine article about the skyline, but i can remember it saying 974bhp at the rear wheels alone. massive!

here is the GTR, no specs there but there are pics, full custom kit etc.

dude the skyline is rwd ... it only sends power to front if rear is slipping ...
and for the record u can soop up almost anything to 1000 horsepower, besides horsepower isnt even important in anything other than acceleration and even then its effect will lessen as you approach the 6 and 700s since even a slight increase in speed will require huge ammounts of power which means added weight meaning ... less speed

TOP SECRET is a japanese tuning house. they specialise in rb26 power. the top secret supra was pulled by the pigs in england doing 311km/h on public roads, Nagata-san was ambushed by three police volvos and escorted 2 the station. there is videos of him on kazaa doing 328 on public roads in a bnr34 gtr, this skyline has also cut 9-second 1/4. the rb26 has been known 2 make 700 hp on stock internals. uprated highflow turbos a 4inch sports exhaust and a big front mount intercooler. the drive train only holds 600hp or so though. there is one TOP SECRET R33 in aus but it only has 650hp as its a street car.the TS fusion rr r34 has 745kw.
tnx for tha back up whiteballz.

you may be able to soop anything up that high, but its still a maasive achivement! most people dream of 500 or so hp. my point is that it is still an awsome car no matter what you say. i wouldnt want to own it, but its still a monster.

i never said it wasnt an awesome car, but as i said already its still just another car
first off it aint all that fast, second its heavy as hell
its level of performance is minor compared with the god like perception of many young people who've just started getting into the whole automotive world mainly because of games and movies like fast and furious

again i have to say horsepower doesnt equal performance. in order to maintain drivability reliability and safety you must have equal or atleast near equal performance in all of your equipment and MOST IMPORTANTLY your skills as a driver

big horsepower with stock brakes = running into a wall or plowing through a turn with mad understeer ... into a wall
NOS without the proper education on the subject = well blowing up ur engine or exhaust manafold, turbo, entire exhaust assembly, pistons ... then running into a wall

most of these scenarios ends up with you running into a wall
