My mates just bought a mint R33 Skyline GT-R which has had a lot of work done to it estimated to be around 400bhp.
I've never felt wheelspin at 120mph before, scary! Yoko's all round and still it couldn't find grip from its 4 wheel drive system.
Mmmmm, if only i had the money to buy one!

i highly doubt the tyres would wheelspin at 120mph in a 4wd skyline. GTS Commodore wouldnt even spin its wheels at that speed, and has the same power and RWD

Youd need a lot more than 400bhp to light up the tyres of a car with 4WD that weighs over 1500kgs!

Agreed!!! My Tuscan would struggle to do that, a car known for having poor traction, 400bhp, RWD and less than 1100kgs.
Are you sure its not a GTS-T thats not had its KM/H changed to MP/H

I've been in a 400bhp GTS (the rear wheel drive one) and that didn't spin its wheels at slower speeds, never mind at 120

alot of work for what? engine? as to get 400bhp? you wont need alot of work done to get 400
Spin at 120 wouldnt think so, i know someone with a 700bhp rwd car and that wont spin t 120mph
Anyway any pictures of this love the look of the 33 and 34

Rubish start talking when you actually know something....
My neighbour used to be a test driver and a chaufeur for Jaguar....he took me out in a (at the time) prototype XJR 500 racing eddition and he turned the traction control off at 100 mph and floored it and it spun up!

i had a ride in a skyline the other month, 501bhp!! it was insane, i wasnt ready for him slamming his foot down and when it took off it jolted my neck so bad it hurt for 3 days
its owned by a guy Bren who runs K-Sport, anyone ever seen the skyline, its all stickered up with k-sport down the side. iv got a few pics somewhere.
the wheels span at 100mph
