Like in a Jim Carrey movie "Me, Irene and Myself" :)

No. Bad.

See ain't nothing wrong with the Datsun dachshunds are fast but if that was a Toyota 2JZ I feel sorry for that novel that Nova would have got murdered by that Toyota if that was a Toyota but that was a Datsun Skyline that I think that was untuned

That Nova was like greased lightning !

I agree

That thing is fucking screamin, Sounds beautiful!

Totally agree that sound increase my testosterone levels lol

Sounds way better than the gt350r

As a Ford guy i agree, thats tuff

I appreciate that you're appealing to both crowds, but what you're basically saying is that everybody needs to acknowledge that both cars are "good", otherwise they're an idiot or a moron. You may not realize it, but a "good car" is a very, very subjective thing, and for me it comes down to a lot more than just being fast. I'm not a super-hardcore Nova fan, but I strongly prefer it to the Skyline (and most other modern cars, import or domestic) for a variety of my own reasons. I won't ever like it, but that doesn't make me "right" or "wrong". It's just my personal preference, and I'm not an idiot for having it. Likewise, somebody who prefers imports isn't "wrong" for having their preference, even if a lot of them are too full of pride to gracefully accept defeat here (seriously, how many of these armchair commandos retorting with "road racing" arguments actually race on real tracks or have a legitimate use for a car with that ability that won't land them in jail?). *DONE*

***** I miss dimmers being on the floor :(

You're a goody goody goof

bro you have my respect, yes both good in my book... its just the car its the racer.

Richard Smith Me too, man... Me too...

Awesome car sir. Definately fast. What were some of the motor specs couldn't see engine was it a big block or small block.

please specs, it sounded sooo goood

Is this the same nova that lost to the av boys mustang?

Maybe 383 with alluminum heads, single 650 cfm double Pumper carb, super Victor intake, solid Roller cam set to 7000rpm, rocker arms and push rod for high rpm, calvert mono leaf spring, powerglide with transbrake, stall converter, 9" rear end, slick hoosier, 15/16" rear Wheels.. Great, from italy!

You have no chance with the dmc delorean!.. lol

Cool, that's a 10 second Nova, built to the nuts!

Yeah! American Muscle.

Todd C the skyline in low 10s the nova is a lot faster lol

***** is*

WRB nova walked on that skyline

+Shane Smith That's what we call opinions. Ever heard that word before? It's great!

+Shane Smith HAHA sounds like a fucking dyson

That's the sound of a turbo, hell some people like turbocharge LS engines.

I agree, muscle cars with turbos make me feel, well... Somehow very uncomfortable

Actually that "vacuum" at the beginning was most likely supercharger from that nova lol

It does feel good dont it

I have a 68 chevy Nova

‘74 here. Last year of the decent looking ones

69 nova here

71

Japan is 100% Better than fake Ass v8's American pro mods

yea me to but the nova would cost a fraction of what the Nissan would cost to modify it

no

Andrew Doyle....all the stock times for old american muscle from that era was on shitty bias plys and barley any skill ...weve all watched the vintage tests and its nothing but wheel spin in the quarter mile run...so with the worlds worst tires and possibly drivers the Nova SS stock ran 14.2 in the quarter ...and bone stock the GTR R32 ran a 13.9 ....on a good set of radials with a decent driver ...the nova will still prolly win ....if the nova is on bias plys and they drive like they did in those tests it will lose lol besides half the specs for those cars and many others were a lie for insurance....i watched a Super Duty Firebird run a 12.36 stock spec ...all it hac better than stock was a set of modern radial tires and a good driver

but their not stock wa wa wa

ID say around 8000 , idk this setup but if you take a 327 and put a stock 283 crank in it with supporting mods ( spring , pushrod etc ) a good carb and headers , it Will sound like that with no air filter on top , my dad have had a 67 back in the days and Rev to the moon without any problems

AND HATERS. HATERS TOO.

oh yeahhh

hell yeah

+chobbler gobbler cobber yeah and to me like a fucking vacume so shut your bitch mouth about others opinions

That's something world will never beat. Italian, french, german, japanese. Noone will ever beat american V8 in sound. It is so unique in positive meaning. So "growly" :)

+That Ford Guy 2.5 liters in 6 cylinders? That is not impressive at all. Thats like .4L per cylinder. Tiny weak engine with massive upgrades

That Ford Guy it has the rb26 and was in it already

Amen.......Them Ricers are like a Wal-Mart toaster........good while they last and throw them away!

arodderz backing out the driveway is more thrilling with a big cammed V8 than anything in an import. these lil kids have no idea what its like riding in an angry Muscle car. If they did they wouldn't bother with plastic junk

They never do

The Reginator it was a totally unfair race the Nova was a obvious Drag Tuned car I don't have anything against american cars but you cant tell me that was a fair race and "They never do" all I can say there are Skylines putting over a 1000hp Supra's too I think a track is the true test of driver and car speed and torque can be worked out on a Dyno thats my opinion but I still go to drag events too haha

Benjamin Yates So what? Camaros, mustangs, chargers and many others American models put over 1000 real hp on the wheels, pure engine.

***** You are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MORTARHATE77 Amen. Couldn't have said it better myself

I like the skyline but even I find this funny

christian flores that would be the turbo

i cant take that car seriously.. missing a headlight and going against a nova

Ghost Hunter I think he was waiting to put an air vent in the headlight spot.

Same brother

People are too ignorant to read the description after the fact that the Nissan lost; The butt-hurt is strong with both sides of the communities, so much that the comment section has slowly started to make me lose brain cellz to thsdafn fkskeihas ds aknfdsjaoauehurh0023huedsa f0fh30hsdidfha08sdh ,.a,msd,.lakjahdsfv9uuwqbur...

Joey Johnson depends on which skyline

TheDongerSquad Yeah he's right. Definitely depends. There's a few sub-models. GTS GTST etc.

Reel Issues Let's also see which complies with modern day emission and noise regulations. That's the prime reasons these old cars are still modified - since they're from a time there hardly were any emission and noise laws and you could legally purchase an engine solely designed for racing as an aftermarket "accessory" . Old cars can easily bypass the modern day tough emission and noise laws and as such are still useful for straight-line drags - and little else. Without their dragrace slicks which are insanely wide they wouldn't even excel at that.

Wez Marauder i'm sorry but the tires on that nova didn't have anything close to an "insanely wide" drag slick on it. maybe 10" if that. its all about how you set up the suspension, their are guys that run 1,500 HP+ on small tires and still hook. as far as the whole thing about they're only useful in a straight line? there are a lot of guys who do autocross that would totally disagree.

***** i'd kill to have a duster haha and nope, poor thing shit the bed a few months ago. i've got a 2000 mustang on the way from Michigan in July and a 460 small block waiting for it. any special plans for that duster?

its a Windsor based 460 small block so yes, im probably going to hold off for a year or two to put it in and just drive the car stock.

in all honesty the R32 would win on a track, but we had some pretty good track cars too, cue the random elevator music: Camaro z28, Mustang boss 302, Challenger T/A, and the new hellcat, and to prove I am not a fan boy for muscle, There are many BMW's and euro cars that would walk all over the gtr, no offense to any skyline fans, but some of you are stupid for not looking hard enough for a good asswhoopin, example: BMW made 900horse race motors based on a m30 190hp block in the EARLY 80's look it up it's the m88/2

+Dave Jenning its really works

So does meth.

fucking ignorance...

NismoNick240sx 😂😂😂 more like logic

HeroLegend555 true that man they do win

That's an actual quote from "fast and furious 2" - "Muscle cars always win".

two diffrent types of cars. Muscle cars cant turn and they are bulky AF. Their body serve no meaning. But its crazy fast. On the other hand import are better at conering and drift, but are slower. But also good for modifying.

The Nova has 2-speed Powerglide or a 350-400 Turbohydramatic 3-speed.Both were designed in the 60's so their not CVT. There's about 20% power loss through an auto, if the Nova was a 4 or 5 speed manual it would have put more power to the ground, and been faster if the driver powershifted and kept it straight.

Bud Light Yes, the Turboglide was a G.M. built CVT in the early 60's, so I stand corrected. It was replaced by the much stronger Powerglide, which is used in race classes like Street Outlaw and is built by many performance trans. companies to reliably handle 2500+ HP. The reason I think the Nova has a Powerglide is right at 2:00 I hear a change in the engine pitch. He either pedaled it, or it shifted. My opinion it's the 1-2 shift, but I agree after that it sounds like a CVT.

John Nelson The R32 weighs 3200 lbs and the Nova is 3300lbs..100 lbs weight difference is nearly negligible in this scenario, therefore, when it comes to body weight, this is a fair matchup....And wait..did you actually quote the Fast and the Furious???...Dude, Seriously???? LOL

HOLLY FUCKING SHIT... THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT !!! This guy knows whats good that fucking race was determined by that transmission only... end of story

John Nelson actually mr. nelson you are wrong... a car that gets trailer ed home is not a match for a car that drives home... transmission here is a winning factor... not the cars... nor the engines involved...

wow! I couldn't have said it better myself, your a genius!

Have a look at the older Japanese cars Like the Skyline 2000 GT-R or Datsun 1500/510 or Even the Old Toyota KE/AE series. Then tell me there is no art in the Jap scene.

Japanese car makers were brilliant in reliability in the 60-70s, but design? With the models they got right, they copied European cars. Also, "most imports are appliances and that muscle cars are beautiful". I agree, but most American cars are not muscle cars. Speaking of beauty and performance, there are more exotic sports cars from over seas than there are nice looking muscle cars available. Imports tends to be more sophisticated too, hence why, in Europe at least, they don't import American cars. Now people buy Ford and different GM brands, but they are engineered and made in Europe for the European market (with exceptions of special orders from customers). That said, Ford has finally decided to make a eurospec version of the new Mustang, and sell it on the European market for the first time ever! Good news.

Not exactly, you see japanese motorisation was born after 1945, from the ashes of war, under cash-lending from USA, under american military supervision, under american guidance. It's not japanese style - it was in fact AMERICAN style. The japanese think different - hence the JDM. But JDM is all about plastic. The metal ones like nissan fairlady (even that name fairlady) were STRONG influence of USA. The art comes from american motorisation which had 90% influence on Japan. JDM arose from that 10% of japanese art style. And it's all about turbo and plastic.

No sweeter sound in the world than a big American built V8 burning hydrocarbons inefficiently at seven grand. That little Nissan can go suck some sake with its tail between its legs.

Totally agree with you brother. Big block V8's all day long!!! Screw "ecoboost" and "fuel-efficient", gimme 8 cylinders ALL GAS!!! ALL THE TIME!!!

CrazyBear65 *hater spotted*

the r32 ran a 10 second quarter mile the next day

that r32 looks and sounds like shit and made all tuners look pathetic and it sounded like a rb20det not an rb26dett

+Ballistax Gaming it still ran a 10 second quarter mile... looks arnt eveything

now face an R35 skyline lol.

Skyline crappiest? I'm a '63 nova owner and I'm muscle guy but I don't think that skyline is crap. I think it was a good opponent. The more I'm proud that he lost.

ca9na0da5 Not in America you pissed off little boy lol

Im not pissed off at all lol. little boy? you look like you're about 15.

lmao what happened to the hood? Oh wait it is American made, they probably forgot to put it on. American cars are nothing but a piece of shit heavy metal with big engines that look like a solid shit.

Fadi Beno Well that was lame lol they didn't forget to put anything. Probably the same reason the Nissan Skyline is missing a headlight. For more air intake. They are both great cars. The only thing shitty here is the comments. Comments like yours that make no sense.

Lol

Was a quote from a movie but ok

Even that AWD couldn't keep up with that Nova!!

Jack Sheeley do you honestly believe the AWD was launched here? if so... you have alot more You-tubing to do

William Pritchard Damn... i think you might be right... its a GTS from the side skirts and the rear panels. Even then, this is no race for a Skyline to match up... even I admit. I take back all the AWD stuff I said, thank you for correcting me.

keep dreaming.

You mean with Paul Walker behind the wheel lmao. That nova could have had 4 dead cylinders and doughnut tires out back and still would have spanked that kia...

never under estimate the power of a straight 6 young grasshopper, cause that RB could be in that same ol rust bucket and the v8 in the R32 and would still do some damage

^ I sound like a fake, you fucktard, I build Rb's for alot of my friends I know how an RB suppose to sound, you dumbass, just because you from the states doesn't make you feel you're some kind of god....do yourself and favor and FUCK OFF!!!

since when navy seal, millionaire and martial artist got to do with engines???....I don't give a fuck about that...fuck yor navy seal and all that shit....either you talk some sense about tuning or simply pipe down and move on. My word you idiots with this navy seal thing pisses me off.

PhAnToM PhoeNixx ? hearing things mate

PhAnToM PhoeNixx the description is correct if I could post pics of the engine bay I would N/A motor #Murica

PhAnToM PhoeNixx All I hear is that turbo from the Skyline. That Nova is all motor man.

Plus if anything he could just have a slight noisy gear, all engine from that nova and that's easy to tell

See that Holley sittin nice and low? No blower

Haha are you serious 'iron muscle'

Do some history on Japanese cars dumb ass lmao

AMEN

What he's saying is don't try to race a big block from a dead stop. It's just not going to happen.

You're damn right!!!

wanna drag race? Take a lightweight chassis that can fit a V12. Take a V12. Do the proper upgrades and so on so forth. You can now drive really fast in a long straight line. Congrats.

samuele inzaghi well i can at least respect your viewpoint, unlike the other person i had to respond to. points taken and acknoweldged Smauele, kind regards to you

samuele inzaghi transaxles and cvs dont hang with this kind of abuse thats why american muscle not new age american muscle reigns king in drag racing

samuele inzaghi The Hennessey Venom GT is built for max top speed, not acceleration. While the 1/4 mile time is impressive, it's still slower (though not by much) than a Mc Laren P1 and a Porsche 918 Spyder, and both these cars have less horse power than the Venom GT. There are many cars out there that would destroy the Venom GT on the 1/4 mile. There is a tuned 69 camaro that produces 2500 HP (over double of the Venom GT) and does the quarter mile in under 7 seconds. I think it did like 6.52 seconds. It is currently considered the fastest street legal car in america. The Venom GT has it's merits. I'm sure it handles better, and the top speed will be higher due to gear ratios.

joemann7971 The venom gt also spins badly out of the hole due to having more power

Major Wilkes another quote from fast and the furious "Muscle beats import, every time". This is from the 4th one I believe.

maplefreak64 rb26 engine with awd

terror bite no it was GTS

T Ra Pz Z lol the description says nissan skyline gts with rb26 swap and awd conversion

Inline 6 vs a v8 built not a good match up but the skyline is still the better car technically.

Isaac Garcia in what way?

Majority of the R32's were Rwd. plus they used the 2.5 Inline six's the last of the skyline's (R34's) had the 3.0's coming out of the factory with 300+hp off a .5-.7 bar boost. That's pretty good. You can make them 600+hp engines for around 6k. That's dirt cheap for the power. JDM > any American make...period.

zach Im pretty sure the r34s had rb26s not 3.0s just sayin

Yes they did, It was not directly from Nissan. A couple crazy Aussie's made Hybrid blocks that was bored to 3.0L and they put RB26 stroker kits on them. Most common Skyline that used that set up was a Tommy Karia. Some company called Oiken or something makes those engines now. Yes the standard market engine was ether a single or twin turbo RB26 but if you had the cash you can drop a 3.0 block in it.

awd sucks for drag racing, unless its an automatic

eh..

Right? Lol

Ricky Smith you guys get butt hurt when you are asked to do any thing but race in a straight line... And i only give props to the Nova Transmission in this video... that's it, that's why it wont... If the R32 would of been launched, then we could witness a better race for sure. With the Nova still being a top end winner... in this case only Funny thing is, that skyline drives home... the Nova gets trailer-ed home... Thats a big difference there too, most muscle car guys never admit... 3 speed or 4 speed auto trans... COOL STORY BRO !!! learn some AWD foot work and then we will talk about better driving. not, just flooring it and hitting nitrous switches through out every pass... You got a BIGASS ENGINE it should win !!!

240SSONLY drag racing takes skill bruh. Its not easy goin a to b

i agree to some extent... RT and other factors are the skills needed for drag racing but on-road racing requires far more brain fat... to get this going lol Happy Motoring

Those who can drag, those who can't drive in circles...

oh please. stop bitching. "barely" beat? go back and watch the beginning of the original fast and furious. sad you need to learn a lesson from a god damn movie character vin diesel played.

Not bitching, just stating a fact. Whether by and inch or a mile blah blah, it's still obvious the Nova was a drag car, the r32 looks fairly stock and yet the r32 held it's own.

thatguyonstage I don't get why you're trying to start shit.

thatguyonstage The Nova was N/A, no bottle, 350 and RWD and beat a RB26 swapped AWD Skyline running N2O and a turbo, the gap between the two wasn't "barely" by any means either.

Did you see the end of the race? That was at least a 2 second difference in the 1/4 mile. And that's out of a naturally aspirated small block.
