skyline greatest rival?

[alien2jz]

wut japanese car u guys think can go head-to-head againts the gtr's?i mean in all specs...

we all knoe that the gtr's is the king of japanese cars

my bet is on supra...hehehe

 

[kelvin---]

how bout nsx?

 

[thteh86]

never thought that the nissan big car will have a rival....since everybody here is so crazy about skyline.

I'd go for an NSX and RX7, both are underrated cars

 

[rollakid]

race on what kind of condition? if its about all round performance, and talking about stock car (well, including those from tuning house, but not those you do it yourself), despite i hate to admit it, i dun think supra is quite up against the skyline. you're talking about 2 wheel drive vs 4 wheel drive and one car is totally conventional while the other is half driven by computers...

i'd say the evo and scooby stand a chance against it, must compare AWD with AWD. supra can play with nsx and s2k and rx7 and stuff...

just my 2 cent.

Same family member, the Fairlady Z?

 

[ultimatevolution7]

aiyah i posted my own post near this one, why must you be so damn ignorant and post your own one here? you just wasting my time and everybodys time

 

[ky69]

If japanese car.Honda NSX.I like it so much damm cool.Nissan FairLady?

 

[drMpower]

yes..agreed. rival should come within the Nissan itself. Afterall, 350Z is the 'temporary replacement' for GTR, right?

my vote is for 350z anytime!

 

[spyderslr]

the later/2nd version of the NSX-R....

 

[alien2jz]

fairlady..?its 3.5 v6 alrite...but without any bolt on turbo's...its impossible to catch the gtr

 

[Grixism]

the mines r34 skyline..orido said its acceleration is better than gt500 car..hmm, actually the skyline already beat gt500 cars in track,what's better than that?yes, the true rival is the skyline itself.hehe.sorry a bit off topic but this what play in my mind when talks about the fabulous rb

 

[alien]

skyline, a class on it's own..

 

[Zeroed]

No way. At standard specs The NSX-R walks all over the R34 in the tracks. As seen on best motoring.

[Zeroed]

I have the some full episodes and bits and pieces of clips all over... not sure which is which, maybe Ill post up some infos but next time lah. Pretty busy now (just taking a break here, hehe)

yes, orido did say that the mines gtr's acceleration is better than it's gt500 counterparts. but he didn't say that it can beat them in the track. cause circuit racing are much more than having quick acceleration. what about cornering speed? braking performance? the mines gtr or any gtr by itself already has a very good performance but compared to gt500 gtr? i don't think so my friend.

sorry, not trying to flame u, just reminding u and myself. peace.

back to topic, imho there are many japanese cars that can rival the gtr but don't know if there's anything that can be considered as greatest rival. for example:-

1. stock to stock comparison: in the days of r32 gtr nissan did literally blew every car out there, but not so with r33 and r34. i'm hoping nissan would do something with the arrival of r35 :regular_smile:

2. street tune comparison: the mighty MCR gtr that has over 600hp was beaten by 380hp RE amemiya on the touge.

3. track tune comparison: the gt500 gtr did dominates the races for quite a long time back in their days but now nissan no longer consider the r34 gtr platform to be competetive enough when they decided to use the z33 as a new platform.

4. drag tune comparison: well, i don't know much about drag :embaressed_smile: but since it's all about power in drag racing i think the gtr will do quite well cause they are good enough to produce 1000++hp.

although i'm saying all this i still have my utmost respect to them. and i do not simply say that you can beat the japanese samurai easily. furthermore, an r32 gtr is still my no.1 dream car :shades_smile:

peace to all.

If skyline is sooo unbeatable and you guys worship it god-like, why nismo is using fairlady now? no point talk bout this topic man. every car has it's own attraction. i hate it when ppl compare cars around, especially when they are in the same familly. like it if your relatives compare between you and your brothers? race in downtoen kl or penang georgetown during the daypart i bet my ex-5 can beat the skyline in travelling speed.

jeanloo : 1stly is because they wanna retire it all its glory IIRC the skyline was dominating JGTC from its launch onwards.

and 2ndly because fairlady = newer model of nissans range , purpose of racing newer cars is to market them to the world ? as said in 1 episode of best motoring , manufacturers have racing team just for public relations and pride issues lol . *like in formula 1 they switch between fuji and suzuka - fuji being a Toyota circuit and Suzuka being a Honda circuit .
