Very cool, I love the R34 skylines. If you've got anything else like that, I'm interested!

queieck · 10-21-2003, 12:31 PM

Very nice video.. if only they sold them easily in america..

Stiltzkin · 10-21-2003, 05:07 PM

Ouch! Sexy car! I gotta show this to a friend of mine who'd rather hump cars than girls...

DEI37 · 10-21-2003, 05:21 PM

Now that is nice. I like that 9200rpm shifting!

ledhead · 10-21-2003, 05:56 PM

i still dont see what is so great about skylines. they are only a 6 cyl. correct? what kind of numbers do they have, or are they just a glorified rice rocket.

Kurant · 10-21-2003, 06:16 PM

It's HARDLY a glorified rice machine =/

12.5 for stock R34 and R33's. I've seen that time more then once, but they never post any trap speeds. =/

They are kinda like the Supra's, Skylines inline 6 can do 1000HP+. There is a few 8 second Skylines around too.

Turbo Inline 6 engine is hardly something to laugh at. Inline engines are easier to turbo, have better technology and are more efficient for forced induction. That's why four cylinder cars are so common, they're inline 4.

The thing that seperates the Skyline GTR though is not the engine, it's the ATTESA ET-S(Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque-Split). Without going into too many details, it makes the car all wheel drive when it needs to be, and rear wheel drive the rest of the time. So for things like launching and hard cornering, all four wheels may do some work, but during straight lines and cruising, it's just another rear wheel drive car. This keeps the car from losing horsepower due to things like friction (AWD cars just naturally lose more HP through tranny)

When the R32 first came out, Nissan won virtually all track events because nobody could keep up with ATTESA.

Look forward to the new G35's. They're basically the skyline in japan. The highest model called the G35x will use a new ATTESA ET-S system.

Then keep track of the tuning scene, because i'm sure some tuner company or another will slap a turbo on that badboy, permanantly labeling it the American Skyline GT-R.

honestly how can you say that after seeing that vid....it was blowing though the RPM's like mad, and almost flying non-the-less.

had we had a horsepower reading or MPH guage, you would have shit your pants at the power this thing has.

The Skyline R32 GTR's were banned from Supercar races in Australia after they completely dominated the Australian V8 Holdens and Fords. It won 3 seasons straight before the V8 ego's couldnt handle it anymore and just basically booted them from the series.
I've always had a dream where they continued to dominate more and more through the R33 and R34 series. If that dream were true then maybe our cop cars and taxi's would all be Nissans rather than Fords and Holdens

The Skylines are basically the Vettes of Japanese cars -- they aren't like Civics at all. Beyond that, the people who posted above me did an excellent job explaining most about Skylines.

well the only people who ever talk about it are people who own a rice rocket, mainly asians. and you really cant look at that car because isn't it a race car. and besides whats the point of lusting after a car that you wont be able to drive, in america at least.

wakelagger · 10-22-2003, 12:05 PM

the reasons people who own rice rockets, mainly asians, talk about this car is because this car is the pride and joy of asian racing. ricers talk about skylines because they know that they will never ever own one, and the fucking riced civics are just a pathetic imitation that'll amount to nothing.

its just like americans love their old powerhouse V8's of the old days, and the camaros, vettes, vipers, and mustangs of the generation. we take pride in out cars, just as they take pride in theirs. you should call it crap because a certain culture takes pride in it.

BTW, certain skylines are street legal in japan. but this one probably isnt, nor was it designed to be. it probably runs on an octane of fuel that no one could bye in the US, it probably idles like shit, and gets shitty gas milage so nobody would ever want to make one street legal. would you drive a lambo in the city, probably not.
