BenV Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 everybody who has a big power starlet brakes them after a very short time of doing it. ive been in a 500bhp skyline and ive been in a 300bhp starlet and i can easily say that the starlet aint got shit.my choise would be the liner all day fella but as already said id drop down to either the 32/33gtr models much better than the gtt. and yes they cost more but this insurance being more is abit of a myth ive managed to get mine on my evo for exactly the same as i was paying on my v! the tax is more and the fuel cost but if you want a better car then these are the fall backsBen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 yeah thats what im thinking sparky. keep the gt for a couple of years then get a r34 gtr in bayside blue ummmYes do this!! As i said earlier single turbo/Non turbo skylines are mostly driven by fags.. well around here they are anyway! Just save up and get a GTR!! If your interested in R33's then my old man is selling his by the way for £10,495 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scot-ish Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 everybody who has a big power starlet brakes them after a very short time of doing it. ive been in a 500bhp skyline and ive been in a 300bhp starlet and i can easily say that the starlet aint got shit.Benfunny that, i own a 300bhp starlet, and ive had a blast with a 480bhp TT supra(i'd imagine its pretty comparable to a 500bhp skyline?) and lets just say, i ddint finish second, and to say the supra driver was dissapointed, well, is a bit of an understatement.as ive said tho, there not really comparable, sad as it sounds, i picked my starlet, over an audi RS6, as i decided i wanted to have a car to have fun in for a year.

scot-ish Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I love how everyone keeps talking about power and weight.... there is something else which makes a huge difference on the road.Torque....A starlet engine will never ever put out as much torque for as much of the time than a larger capacity engine.I'm now laughing at this thread at all the dreamers going on about beating "400hp" cars... These all measured with an "arse dyno"?When I get my car back on the road I'd like to see what a 300hp Starlet can do.when youve got it, i will come a run up to see you if ive still got my starlet, if not there are another 2 starlets in stranraer with big power, and were in kilmarnock once a month or summit just for a run.i know it souds stupid, but before i got it, i never expected it to be anything like it is, i was expecting it to spin and go nowhere, but in the dry, my car launches, not easy, but with pretty good use of traction.i had some1 in with me when i had the blast with the skyline, as did he, and before the next weekend, he had told most people in the town about my car, bearing in mind he is a 30 odd yer old guy. so to say he was impressed with the wee shitbox is an understatement.as you say, power to weight isnt everything, but a 400 bhp skyline is only what, 275 per tonne, and my 330 starlet is 370 per tonne torque or not, 100bhp will show.

Scott-EP Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Going of subject for just one post!..Last night i had some Rover metro up my arse i was like eerr righto.. so i gave it the beans expecting to just leave him in another time zone and he was right on my arse upto around 70! haha Funny stuff!!Back on topic...I've been out in my old mans one (obviously) and i could see a starlet sticking with it up to only about 40-50mph then it would be bye bye.. Were not sure what its running though as my old man's not interested in all this BHP Bullshit talk.. That's what he calls it anyway, And he won't ever put it on a rolling road but i imagine it must be around 400-430bhp mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott-EP Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 R32's are the Sex!!! Specially in white!im sure that R32 has been up for sale for well over a year and a halfOhh and those Bride buckets.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 no its only been for sale for a couple of months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It must have been a really similiar one then!Still awesome! I'd like to see a starlet stick with a 32 running almost 400bhp! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 i think i go down this route for more powerFor more power, we'd recommend upgrading the injectors to 700cc items, fitting a larger fuel pump (280 litres per hour) and a Nismo fuel pressure regulator in combination with a pair of Nismo air flow meters (Rated for use up to 775 bhp). A cat replacement pipe is already included with this car, brand new & unused. These additional items combined would give a very responsive 500 - 550 bhp with these turbos.

The Toffinator Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 There was one similiar for sale last year, thats different. but honestly in everyway performance wise an r32 with that spec would dominate a starlet, no matter what it was running with that 300hp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
animal GT Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQOQcvCE3-Mnow that is ultimate starlet power.he said this is the quickest road legal starleti no that car!!!!!!!!thats right its mine I've blown away many gtr's most being 570bhp they are a cool car doh!

BenV Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 now a 95 would be a different story again as this would have traction where as the 91 wouldnt. be interesting to see who comes out on top bud i have a feeling it wont be the starlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 when you getting your 180 back on the road for this bout?x2... Typical all this talk of powerful cars.. Never comes of anything but TALK.. get that car back on the road and for the love of god settle this endless dispute thats ravaged on since you became the owner of this sinister monster of a car.IMO.. TUNING = BREAKING You guys argue about these cars but they aint even in the same class as each other, we should setup an annual Dispute maches.. one drag strip.. one track.. the best wins... could be something to bring clubs against each other.. would certainly be fun.PS My clio would have the floor with the lot oh ye <3 Love Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have to agree with Rubix on some of this, people get caught up in peak power figures, power to weight ratios, etc etc... without looking at the overall power curve of the engine, gearing, or anything else.Starlets are definately impressive and for the small running costs and simplicity they are great. But some people need to take their blinkers off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 God point Wullie (and to blow my own trumpet, i do have the quickest EP in /scotland over the standing 1/4 )See here My own 250 hp GT up against an R32 GTR, certainly had a full exhaust and filter, unsure on much else.Now for you members who cant see past Toyotas, look how the GTR starts passing me just on the finish line, thats torque and capacity of the bigger motor. Yes up to a certain speed its evens stevens, but after around 100 mph plus it will walk away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 a referred to previous posts not only this one.. youve always be quick off the bat to throw a mention about your car on other previous posts... i could look them out but am busy plus my wooden spoons not out. you dig your self into these positions lol.well i got on a 50/50 basis... tuning or bad driver = breaking145leptons = respecto on the hill oh joy.
