I ran my 32 GTR Vspec last friday (the harlequin one) on pump fuel and 14pnds ,it did 12 flat at 113 mph,i'll be back in around two weeks with some boost and some fine tuning to crack the 10s and by the way its for sale,pm me if interested. Terry. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That would have just been boost and exhaust. I was looking at them a while ago. Was looking at a 32 GTR with 350awkw (370rwkw) on 16psi. They making awesome power with **** all boost. Luckily I saw the light and realised I am better to buy a house first, and then get a car out on my housing loan., Needless to say, in 2 years I expect to have a 33-34GTR sitting in my driveway with a fair punch of power Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Theres a couple of Typhoons that have run very quick times stock standard..... GTR's on the other hand, you better have a very deep wallet because it can ( and most often will ) end in tears..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

"capable in standard form of mid 13 second quarter miles and a top speed near 250 km/h" http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0060/article.html And another note: "The measured performance of the car varied enormously, with the standing start times depending very much on how hard the car was launched. This helps explain the variation in 0-100 km/h figures - standard cars in some tests are as fast as 4.8 seconds while others are as slow as 6.2! Using a moderate launch (3000-4000 rpm clutch dump) would yield times in the high fives. Nissan Australia claimed a 0-100 time of 6.2 seconds and a standing 400 metres of 14.3 seconds" good little read, lots of sideways action to, check it out.

agreed, xr6t sounds good, but the gtrs sound better. especially in cabin, snapping second in a gtr is just amazing. their 2 totally different cars and i would'nt personally rate them against each other.

Shaun can drive teh GTR thats for sure. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You cant compare the typhoon to a GTR. Our mates R33 GDZLR will no doubt chew up and spit out any car on the street. doesnt have heaps of work but has mild rajab pakage. We also have seen another typhoon with some work done, goes great but not as hard :\ thats my 2 cents worth.
