  • I fought the Skyline and the Skyline (Blank)

    Well last week ran into a old co-worker on my trip in to work one morning. It was early so we thought we would shoot out to a side road and do a pull.

    1st Pull
    2nd gear roll
    He spun pretty bad in second by the time i hit the end of 3rd he was a good 6-8 cars back.

    Audi 1 Skyline 0

    He mention he was in RWD mode not AWD and that we would have to do this again when he had the car back in AWD.

    So yesterday I get an email that he is ready to go and wonders if we could do a few pulls.

    We meet out at in Sylvan and have a little chat about the car etc

    His
    1990 Skyline 2-door AWD
    Inline 6 Twin Turbo GT28's (Oh Crap)
    Fueling - EBC - Standalone ECU - 3" Catback
    Custom Tune (By Uncle Ben's Rice Factory across the Street from where I work)
    380WHP on the Dyno across the street on 91 Pump gas
    3100lbs
    Driver 190lb ish
    1/2 Tank o Gas (91oct)

    Mine
    2001 S4 AWD
    APR Stage 3 (PJ K04's)
    Est 400+HP at the crank on 91 Program
    3600lbs
    Driver 170lb
    Full Tank o Gas (91 Craptane)

    2nd Pull
    2nd gear roll he gets the jump
    all the way to 5th gear we stay about my front to his rear fender moving back and forth at the shifts good close race. I am stating to believe i have a chance.

    Audi 1 Skyline 1

    3rd Pull
    3rd gear roll i get the jump
    Pull a good 2-3 cars thru 3rd then i miss 4th but catch it with him still behind i think i may actually win then 5th gear he walks passed me.

    Audi 1 Skyline 2

    4th pull
    2nd gear low rpm roll i get the jump
    Pull a good number of cars maybe 4-5 by the end of 3rd gear then 4th he creeps back to within 2 5th gear he walks past me like i was standing still top of 5th i start creeping back at him but he shuts it down with me 1/2 car back

    Audi 1 Skyline 3

    We stop at our turn around point and chat a little more as i see he has a hand held either boost controller or ECU controller plugged in so i am assuming the boost went up a little after the first run. Also he doesn't want to go above 200Kph as his he hasn't put in hood pins yet on his hood that looks like it is made from 2mm thick Aluminum/Aluminum foil

    5th Pull
    2nd gear roll I get the jump again
    Pull him the same as the last pass get a good number of cars on him 2nd and 3rd he comes back in 4th then destroys me thru 5th but at the top end of 5th i pull back up to his rear fender then we have to shut it down.

    Audi 1 Skyline 4

    6th Pull
    Same as last 2

    Audi 1 Skyline 5

    So i fought the Skyline and the Skyline won

    We chatted a little when we got to Sylvan he is going to pull some weight out of the car over the winter and do a little motor work crank etc and put the hood pins in.

    We decided for the next race he puts in some hood pins and i need to find some good gas.

    I went home and told the wife i need a faster car she gave me the eye so i don't think i can get the Meth kit i want. I guess i will just have to find some race gas for the next race.

    too bad you lost.. but who really cares? at the end of the day you can still hop into you Audi with a suit on, head to a nice restaurant and toss the switchblade to the valet... Sure the skyline is fast but that trend is quickly playing out, and they are dam ugly cars.. I would rather drive an Audi with Jan Arden in the passenger seat, then a r-32 skyline

      I agree fully except for I would not let Jan Arden in my car as i don't want her to ruin my seats

        I'd rather Jan Arden sit on my face than drive a Skyline. Always those 17 year old punks driving the Right Hand Drive Skyline, bumpers hanging off, dents galore and they think they are the $hit. They are the ugliest cars on the road hands down.

          hahah i kinda agree with that one.. they aren't bad looking but they are old ass cars now.. but the ones i see are never nice beat up to crap and driven by kids

          actually cars i love nowadays are the nissan 300zxs i've seen 3 extremely clean ones in the last 2 weeks that makes me want one.. one i saw by tunerworks was gorgeous.. no fart can.. the exhaust looked like a brullen actually..

            Roger,
            You need some real tuning (VAST ), meth, and some weight reduction. That ought to even out the odds.

                Aged cars, and lot of young 'punks' drive them. Dont like RHD either. Fast is one thing, comfortable and eye candy is another.

                  RHD is awful. i hate it.

                  it's too bad the japanese can make hella fast cars... and not release the same version here... i wanted an sr20 for my ti for a bit. wouldn't mind it, aside from price.... lookin at around 10K for it.... ugh.

                  my 1987 BMW 325e can beat my buddy's skyline gts off the line. makes me feel a little better. he takes me, but i have him off the line 4 out of 4 times so far.

                        Ya i think 93 should do it but finding some 93 is the hard part.

                          You should be able to run your 93 program on most 91 or 92 octanes...
                          Ive done it on shell... and husky 92 which you have in RD. (Gas Alley)

                            The 300ZX TT are nice looking IMO.
