This should be mandatory viewing for all those backward baseball cap wearing 19yo Skyline Turbo driving wannabes! :D

Eat my shorts ricer! :p

[bahnstormer]

those skyline turbo's are nothing to make fun of

[Derek A.]

That thing almost looked like an automatic - The tail didn't appear to rise like it was a manual trans car. Also to get that kind of time out of a turbo you have to keep it spooled up and that is tough to do in a manual trans car.

Not often you see a parachute on the back of an e34 !!

[dacoyote]

Sweet...

[bahnstormer]

something i've always wondered is how do they shift gears
in those 4 second 1/4mile runs

that run sounded like he had a cvt tranny =] held 1 gear at high
revs the whole way through heheh

[tnt525i]

uh dudes, thats not a skyline, its a nissan s13 or sometimes known as a 200sx, and yeah those skylines are nothing to make fun of,, i had one

[632 Regal]

thats fast! If I ever grow up my race cars supposed to go about .30 quicker.

[SharkmanBMW]

That is pretty crazy!
I have been watching these guys go faster and faster!!!

Is he shifting though??? hard to hear any shifts!

[632 Regal]

with an auto trans and a high stall converter the revs stay within 1-1500 rpms which is hard to hear, watch the car lunge and you can see 3 shift points.

When they drag it, they install a 2sp auto. When it circuit races, it gets a 5sp manual.
1129BHP / 1130NM... With a standard M5 diff!!

My DSL is sometime too slow also.

[Rory535i]

the car has a straight cut gearbox for circuits and he uses a TH400 reverse shift for the strip.

a 2 spd auto? is that what the pro's use when they have 4 sec passes?

[LMUNick]

I can't seem to watch this. Both Quicktime and WMP refuse to let me see it. Am I doing something wrong? I think my 'puter hates me.

The top-fuel 4 second cars don't shift. They use a slipping clutch design that limits power to the diff.

Same here, but the computer I'm on doesn't really have any codecs installed, so I'm sure that's the problem. I get to look at a nice cloudy sunset, and listen to the cars take off.

[TheDuke]

Wow, this E34 kicks ass. By the way the white car is a 240sx (or Nissan Silvia), personally I like the older models better, from 94 down. Newer ones are much heavier:) By the way is it possible to disengage the supercharger for regular daily driving, and then turn it on back when you need it? Like a clutch or something.

2 shifts I heared .... cuz it seems a german specs its tranny shifts at 80Km/h to the 2nd and the second shifts to the 3rd at 140km/h. but I never seen a BMW takes off that fast .... only one with 1200HP smoked a supra ... seen it in one thread before here.

goto www.divx.com (http://www.divx.com) get the divx player ... u need MPEG-4 decoder or something like. simple video principles ;)

[uscharalph]

Thanks for the Divx tip. That clip is so cool!!

[grave77]

no worries ... it is for sure ... I wish mine has a turbo like it !! :)
