Ok so what your saying for 5 mins you both were at WOT clipping up a motorway in light to moderate traffic? This doesn't seem strange to anyone let alone out right recklace? Then you go on to say you slowed down to let the skyline catch up, ok it probably was a R34 GT-T (276hp factory), which to the untrained eye would look very simular to a R34 GTR (320hp factory). I noticed you say skyline not GTR so ok. Lets assume it was in fact the GTR. For 5 mins of WOT the gearing would put him over the 300kmh mark.
Ok now you saying he has a dump valve or do you mean blow off valve/pop off valve/pressure releive valve? A dump valve from how I have heard it called is an external waste gate. That would mean after market turbo(s). So if he had aftermarket turbos big enough to require an external waste gate that would put his power over 500hp easy. Even a single turbo conversion. The smallest twin set up would net you or flow 700hp. Humm interesting. In which case given the gear ratios of the R34 GTR gearbox, which is a 6 speed, he would have just left you for dead. How can I say that? Simple, it is hp + areo dynamics + gearing = only one conclusion at wot for 5 min. For the record every single turbo skyline manufactured from the R31 through to the R34 all had factory blow off valves. None had external waste gates though.
Thick black smoke is fuel not oil. If he blew a turbo(s), put a rod through the side of the block, or burnt a hole through a pistion the smoke would be white or blue not black. It sounds like a major back fire which would be the signs of an electrical failure such as an airflow meter issue, coil pack igniter, etc. Electrical break downs as such is not caused by running too much boost either.
Ok this is a new one on me. What is a V plate? Do you mean Vspec? If you saw the "V" you would have seen the rest of the lettering next to it as it sticks out like a sore thumb. I thought I knew of ever GTR or Skyline for that matter made. Please what ever you do get a bloody picture of it! I would love to add this new car to the list of produced Skylines. (sorry being a bit sarcastic.)
My pultry GTR which is no where near that sort of hp has taken porshe's, 308 Farrari GT, ZR1 Vette, Holden 300kw GTO's and just walked away from them up to max speed. That was achieved in less than 30 secs of wot, not 5 min. While the other cars have areodynamics on me, I had sheer brute power and no let off until I hit the rev cut of 8,000 rpms. BTW this was done at ohakea airport on the run way. Yes there were other cars out there that achieve much quicker acceleration and top speeds. Those included a race car Porsche, Lamborghini Diablo, 8 other GTR's, super charged V8's, host of street bikes, and a couple of Supra's. There are a lot of quick cars out there without a doubt. The Skyline GTR is NOT the god of all cars. I wish it was but in real life it just is not so.
I've been beaten by very small cars pushing huge hp, just as I have beaten a fair few others. This thread just smells too much like bs for me is all. Hey if you had said the guy lost control and went off the road because he was a tosser who couldn't drive I would say good on ya well done! Teach the loser how to drive, but what is hard to digest is story's that sound more like fairy tails than anything else.
If, and I stress IF, you're little tale is legit sweet. Only you know if it is. I will let the others make up their own minds. As for me, well I need a little more convincing than this.
Sorry just my personal opinion, which doesn't mean sqaut 
thats fine i have no problem with your opinion, so am going to help clear a few things up.
"You were driving a TVR Cerbera all 350hp of it right?"
no i was driving a cerbera 4.5 with 420bhp
"so what your saying for 5 mins you both were at WOT clipping up a motorway in light to moderate traffic? This doesn't seem strange to anyone let alone out right recklace?"
no i'm sorry i did exaggerate, it was more like one or two minutes and yes i am a reckless driver, but also an experienced one
"Then you go on to say you slowed down to let the skyline catch up, ok it probably was a R34 GT-T (276hp factory), which to the untrained eye would look very simular to a R34 GTR (320hp factory). I noticed you say skyline not GTR so ok. Lets assume it was in fact the GTR. For 5 mins of WOT the gearing would put him over the 300kmh mark."
well i personaly know nothing about skylines so all i can say was that it was a 1999 model, i just assumed it was a GTR. but i can tell you he never got anywhere near the 300kph mark as i only hit about 140mph at most and he was a good distance behind me all the way
"Ok now you saying he has a dump valve or do you mean blow off valve/pop off valve/pressure releive valve? A dump valve from how I have heard it called is an external waste gate. That would mean after market turbo(s). So if he had aftermarket turbos big enough to require an external waste gate that would put his power over 500hp easy."
not necessarily, i've seen lots of small boy racer cars such as renault 5 GTT's which i know for a fact aren't pushing 500bhp equiped with a dump valve or what ever you want to call it
"Thick black smoke is fuel not oil. If he blew a turbo(s), put a rod through the side of the block, or burnt a hole through a pistion the smoke would be white or blue not black."
well again i have no experience with anything like this but all i can say is that it looked like it lost power and he then pulled over to the side of the road
"Ok this is a new one on me. What is a V plate? Do you mean Vspec?"
no, V plate is part of the registration as already explained earlier in this thread, indicating that it was a 1999 model
"Hey if you had said the guy lost control and went off the road because he was a tosser who couldn't drive I would say good on ya well done! Teach the loser how to drive, but what is hard to digest is story's that sound more like fairy tails than anything else."
so you would believe it if i said the guy couldent control it and crashed? this suggests to me that you actually have more problems believing that the skyline was beat by my TVR but thats just my opinion. if theres anything else you want cleared up just ask 👍
