:dsm: so here it is i bought a '98 3000gt vr-4, =917hp. then bought a '98 3000gt mr,=836hp. the only differance is one i tuned at HKS the other at Trial,did oil change on both before i drove them. thats an 81 hp differance, and i think the mr's faster. 1/4 mile 9.276. haven't run the vr-4 yet. i'll let you know.
so anybody else notice stuff like this? :dsm:
 
weird, I don't have either of those cars, but it's good info to have in case I buy one or the other. Have you checked the weight of either vehicle?
 
what the hell i tuned both the vr4 and mr at hks and mr has more horsepower then the vr4 and is faster... i guess theres a secret to this game we have to unfold.

what years were they? same? and i'm thinking mileage has something to do with it too.
 
well i ran both 3000gt's and the vr-4 is faster but not by much. have to do more tuning. forgot to check weight though, i'll do that later.
anybody see a '99 3000gt yet in the game?
and i must have missed this at one point, but the evo 7 gt-a. whats the "a" stand for? and i haven't seen any gts's are there any? :dsm:
 
GT-A was the first automatic evo. it also had softer suspension settings and leather available i think it has less horse too. its basically an evo for those who cant drive :thumb:
 
ive done some investigatin

95 vr4 blitz 867
95 vr4 hks 867
95 vr4 trial 867

95 mr hks 838


98 mr blitz 843
98 mr trial 843
98 mr hks 843

98 vr4 ralliart 871 THATS BS FOR YOU

i wasted alot of money on this stupid !!#$!# how do u get more hp out of ur 98
 
IRL,

A 98 VR4 is going to weigh less than a 95 VR4 because they dont have the active aero system.

Also, the MR is the lightweight version in Japan and the MR has closer gearing. It is well known that the weight and gearing makes the MR considerably faster than a normal VR4 (or GTO as they call it in Japan).

Stock MR's run 12.9 or better usually while the stock GTO can only pull about a 13.5.


Just some RL fact to back up some of what is going on :)

More investigation tho plz!

:dsm: well my guess is that the vr-4 i bought had 6 miles on it, and i tuned it at Mine's, and i did an oil change to it before i drove it. so there you go 917hp.
sorry about your money you take i.o.u.s :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

once again i'm saying sorry, well i was wrong i didn't tune it at Mines, so i must have tuned it at ralli/art, plus the oil change. still 917hp of kick your a$$ and leave you in the dust. :dsm: :thumb:
 
ok i was messing around with the '89 and '98 fairlady z tuned both at blitz and oil changed, the '89 z has 768hp and the '98 has 856hp. both are z32 bodys. and as for the 350z car their rather sorry in this game, other than the option z, the next in hp is the nismo z-tuned 350z car at about 645hp. :notgood:
 
Hey Diamond, I got my Nismo Z to over 700 HP and it is 300lbs lighter then the option Z.
 
sorry i'm not a honda guy, no really i'm not. but i was messing w/ nsx's and for '04 acura and honda, they give the acura 13 more hp. but when fully tuned the honda has almost 20hp more. and they have acura in with the japan auto makers. but you can't take an acura to the tuner village. WTF
