Title: close run in with a fast jap
Post by: batten on December 23, 2008, 02:34:07 PM
Almost had a little duel with a very cool looking Nissan Sunny/ Pulsar GTiR K-reg like mine. missed him a few times, looked like i wasnt the only one out for a leasurely drive  ;D. Then looked up the figures and glad i didnt meet him at the lights....0-60 5.4 from a 2.0 turbo, thats hideously quick i would have been walked over

ugly i know, but has a kind of retro charm and exessive 90's bulges

haha yeah best steer clear of those things, especially since most will have been tinkered with.  Possible to get insane levels of power from them.  Ugly as sin but quite a cool car even if they do have a bit of a barryboy reputation.

haha yeah ive read that 260 brake can be achieved by just turning up the boost and that would be around 200bhp per tonne, mental. i agree quite a cool car now and maybe more enthusiast owners now its getting on a bit like the G

I had a race with one of those before, was interesting to say the least, i got a thumbs up, so he was obviously impressed with the G. I think he may just have had to go in to the boost a little just to keep up  :P

Quite a fast car, wouldn't say there were particulalry good looking though, Jap car for me has to be a skyline R32. Theres one car i did not stand a chance against an ever since then, i have wanted one. Chased him for about 5 miles just to see if he would swop lol but couldn't catch him :-(
