I'm in the same boat as you.
The sr20 240's are so fast. The fastest I've ever travelled was in a 240, shit was getting blurry like warp speed. hahaha whatta rush. Couldn't tell the exact speed cause we maxed out the speedo. |

Definitely my favorite tuner, I think the new Z's are great and everything, and I know not everyone agrees, but I feel like the S14 was the pinnacle of Nissan sports cars, at least in the U.S. With a few proper upgrades of course.

I have raced cars for years and never really had much experience with Japanese cars. Stock cars, open wheel, dirt, funny car. Recently I had the opportunity to turn some laps in a Nissan GTR. What a machine! I'm not a fan for driver controls traction controls and such, but that car handles like a dream! Very fast through the turns. Uphill blind esses were exhilarating, very stable yet knife edge fast. Smokeed my Porsche turbo lap time hard, which we were more than surprised about. That's my only experience with Japanese performance cars lol.
Edit, and the gentleman drove it home! The Porsche not so much, she travels in a trailer. |

what GTR was it ? my mate had a 400bhp R33 skyline very easy to drive. great car
when times were good in ireland everybody was driving around in high performance jap cars. now there is none, all the cars were exported to Holland and the UK.

Lol 400bhp is literally nothing for a GTR engine. It ain't serious until you got at least 600+hp to play with. Sorry no offence!
And yeah Lester im personally not surprised at all the GTR smoked your porsche lap times. Thats why they banned the GTR's at Bathurst in the early 90s as the rear wheel drive holdens and fords got absolutely destroyed by the 4wd setup and the extreme power of the GTR RB26dett engine! Speaking of gtr's my bro just sold his R32 this beast was seriously 750hp, fully forged engine, huge twin turbos with HKS V-Pro full engine management along with massive brakes & suspension. He then went and bought an RX-3 13B bridgeport turbo which did just under 10 second quarters. He took me for a spin and i was literally screaming like little girl telling him to sloooooow down. It was so fuqqing crazy it was dangerous. I still got my Aristo still doing it up fuqqing money pit that it is! darth

Which year V Man?
Vr4s are pretty old school now aye, i remember the 1st vr4s just before they did the Evo1. Cats used to do those VR4s up all the time.. The turbo 4wd model that is. They were cool cars for their time, i don;t see many around these days
