hi guys, not meant to be a dig or anything, but why is it that you guys have a superior V6 engine to the RB26-DETT and have trouble/have to spend so much money to get anything close to the Skyline? ;)

greg, the Jun Zed car cannot go around corners. :D

 

I know what you mean though, what needs to happen is that you get some decent high powered zed out of here. Hopefully it will happen soon.

 

I mean FFS there are more 200s with ~500bhp than there are zeds on here and you have 3l as opposed to 1.8l or 2l.

But I don't dispute that ultimately the VG should be easily capable of ~800bhp, just a matter of people biting the bullet and doing it.

 

 

I like the 200 it seems all the big bhp zs are in the states i suppose more tuning enhancements are readily available shame :p maybe we should all move stateside lol again no offence to you bud ;)

OK LMFAO :)

 

Fair play big boy, but let's just have a quick look at the used prices then shall we...

 

Soup Mk IV...on an M plate...around the 10K mark

 

R33 GT-R around the M plate...let's say about 15K for a decent MO FO ;)

 

RX-7 Twin Tub...on the same plate...about 10K

 

Z???? LMFAO Well for a decent M plate maybe but the earlier cars are fetching fook all...poor old Scoopy boy is trying to sell his at the mo...what's it up fo at the mo? 4.5K? Sad...very sad! :(

 

Oi you forgot one......................S13 £12.50:D;)

no offence taken. :)

As long as my S13 goes faster & handles better than your Zed I couldn't give a shit. :D

You'd get a good S13 for £12.50. :D

 

I don't think price really has anything to do with it TBH, some cars hold price better than others, FACT.

who cares what its worth or what compression ratio its got or how old it is - if you like it then drive it :D

 

(ps Big Bro just got interesting)

LOL. :D

Exactly. :)

Nail and head spring to mind!!

 

I only know of a handful of zeds that are running over 400bhp (real bhp) are there any running over 500 at the moment maybe 1 or 2 we shall see when macca's is done but with his mods i dont want to tempt fate but i would be hoping for 600+ and not far behind that cj's

 

problem is not many decent places to do the work cos there so hard to work with...thats wot i think if they were easier then more tuning houses would have made more tuning parts

 

Kirbz

Getting a bit touchy aint we all??

 

At the end of the day, you've paid your hard-earned and brought what YOU want to drive, if you think it's the best, then thats your opinion, and your entitled to it.

 

Personally I know there are better cars out there than the Z32, but I like my car, and untill I can afford the £15K+ for a decent GT-R34, I'll stick with it. If you like a Skyline, a Supra, an MR2, a S13 or a Datsun Sunny 1.1, then (if you can afford it) you buy whatever you want.

 

Nuff Zed!! :D

ROFLMFAO :)

 

Yeah all the big bhp cars are in the States! PMSL :)

 

Yeah and yank BHP is about as good for it as our HP sauce on a dodgy burger from Kwiks! LMFAO :)

 

Yeah like the Burger King burger is flame grilled EVERYTIME, so just ignore the ping of the microwave then when you order a whopper with double cheese.

 

The yanks couldn't produce a decent high horse power motor if they tried! :)

 

They have to stick a V10 truck engine into a Dodgy viper which Vicky Munter Henderson was cained in by some lad in a GTi-R! ROFL :)

 

Oh and just to add insult to thermo global nuclear war, watching NASCAR??? Is that some kinda joke? They've got us well fooled...them MO FO's are doing about 30 mph around the oval...clever what they can do with camera's nowadays IMHO! :) 200 mph my ass...to quote a yank term! ;) :)

LOL. :)

 

I've recently been reading a few other forums in the US and Oz and I'll tell you what, we are miles behind them. Typically British. :D

We have been blinkered by certain tuning co's, SE for you, ND and SE for us.

If you go out do a bit of research to see what's happening elsewhere you'll see that you are being fed a load of old shit by a lot of the UK tuners.

 

What's the most powerful Zed SE have built before MAC and CJ's? 380bhp?

MAC's got off his arse looked else where and is going to try something different.

There is no reason on earth why his car shouldn't top 600.

these seem pretty quick zeds not bad for a lardy butt rwd dinasaur :bow:

zed drag

these are running street legal drag tyres , notice how the red one is faster :hyper:

Oi you forgot one......................S13 £12.50:D;)

 

LMFAO :)

goodamn video won't load, what was the time?

So where do you think pre-Macca's car the most powerful Z was tuned then home boy?

 

SE...Andy Elefthriou's kiddo, yep hard to believe isn't it? A powerful Z from a trash company like SE? Get yer facts right matey! LMFAO :) E.G. Why do you think me, Macca and alot of people insist on SE? Coz they know what the fook they are doing! LOL :) Yeah granted they might not answer the dog and bone but PeterR is IMHO the only person who knows WTF he's on about when it comes to full on Z tuning...next to the Kasimoto Nico that is! LMFAO :)

LOL. :)

Well Jezz I would really like to think it will,you are right I am trying something different than the usual Nismo 555 and T28 stock manifold SE spec:D;),TD05 18G,Pentroof Manifolds,Border 850cc injectors and a full engine managment system.

 

If it does not do what I am hoping it will at least I gave it a go and if it all goes BOOM the next stage will be..............................

 

A Full Jun stroker engine built in Japan by JUN! :shock:I wont be beat and give up as easy as that

The Z32 is THE best in it class. Its better looking, it's capable of 1000bhp+ it's much cheaper than the competition. Oh, and the tourque, much more that the poxy 4 pot's. All in all it's the best :)

I hope it works too mac, £20k it'd better fooking work.

You won't need a stroker kit for that kind of power, It'll be fine.

 

sure it's capable of 1000bhp, why shouldn't it be.

 

BMW's Turbo'd Formula 1 engine used a modified 4 pot M10 block (from the old E30 318i) and that produced 1200bhp, RC's EVO does 930bhp.

4 pot will always be down on torque but the power can be extracted.

 

 

Beermonster, here are some fast S13s

What you have no faith then Jezz? LOL :)

? Faith in what?

Wen the zed came out it was a supercar, but you can't compare it to the supercars that are currently being produced!

 

A lot of the skyline owners used to have a lot of money and spent it on their skyline!

The resulting factor is that the cars have tremendous amount of performance now, the zed has always been expensive to tune due to the nature of its V6 engine, the sound of which is one of the reasons I love them!

 

Also the zed was designed to sell in the states and had to pass all of its emmission regs, which led to complexity in the engine management, the complexity of which added to it's fragility!

 

The price of skylines is coming down quickly so maybe now they are not the desirable item they used to be!

? Faith in what?

 

Jeses with the two little fishes and five loaves of bread;)

no, surely Zed owners don't think it's a supercar?

 

A super car is a something like a porsche gt2, keonigsegg, ferarri 360/550, mosler, noble. Something designed to do 200mph with handling to match.

 

You might get a Zed to supercar 'performance' but it'll never be a super car.

Beg to differ there JezzS13,I have the original Nissan Promo Video narrated and test drove by Tiff Needel who states that it is the first Japanese "SUPER CAR" Dont get me wrong,I have nothing against Skylines,but they are only a saloon car with bits stuck on.......
