ripped_fear Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 cheaper to get a supra doing 800 bhp than having an r35 doing 650 bhp IMO that may be the case but would the 800bhp be usable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 that may be the case but would the 800bhp be usable? Most of it may go up in a big cloud of tyre smoke but I should think it would be more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 cheaper to get a supra doing 800 bhp than having an r35 doing 650 bhp IMO Based on Ryan's GTR/Syvecs thread, I'd have to disagree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who is pedaling. I know which I'd prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 that may be the case but would the 800bhp be usable? Mine is very usable. No traction issues in the dry and if it's driven off boost in the wet it's perfect. No fancy to try and take it out in the snow though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Depends who is pedaling. I know which I'd prefer yeah the driver skill would come into it. To be honest I'm not really the person to make a good decision on the matter having never driver a GTR before, I'm just basing my opinion on what I have seen and heard from others. RWD is much more fun and like you say, if you have the skill then i'm sure it would be very balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fancy to try and take it out in the snow though Im sure yours is very usable as are most of the 800bhp supras on this forum but as we have seen from your build and others your has not been built on a tight budget. The comment I was replying to was in regards to achieving this figure for less than a 650bhp skyline. as for taking it out in the snow, I would be terified wouldnt want to spin and catch one of those wide archs.

j_jza80 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I agree RWD is more fun, but I'm sure in a GTR it would be allot more accessible and usable, at least around a track anyway. Probably easier to drive fast, but less rewarding with it (I'm yet to drive an R35, though I've driven plenty of earlier GTRs now and my daily is AWD turbo ) My old single certainly wasn't the most powerful Supra on here, but had obviously been built as a pretty specific track car and was fantastic in the twisties. Combined with the R888s, and a very good suspension setup it never left me wanting for anything. There was also alot more feedback in the steering than I'm used to on Supras, I'm not really sure why though I suspect it must have been geo/alignment.

hodge Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What sort of cost are we looking at to get a GT-R to 650hp I mean parts alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Based on Ryan's GTR/Syvecs thread, I'd have to disagree! He also said yesterday to me that a killer combo would be an r35 with a 2JZ in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What sort of cost are we looking at to get a GT-R to 650hp I mean parts alone. I would say parts alone - 1,100cc Bosch Injectors - £600 Twin fuel pumps £250 intake kit with larger MAF housing - £300 Milltek 321 Steel downpipes - £300 Milltek Y-Pipe - £350 Milltek rear exhaust system - £1200 Cobb - £600 Total - £3500 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
