R's Day USA 2024 was an absolute blast! I've been to R's Meeting in Japan, and loved it, but R's Day in the USA to me was actually better because it was a track day vs a hard park car show. Personally I believe vehicles are meant to be looked at....as the fly around on a track! Btw, the first time for me driving my R34 GTR in the US on American soil was my first laps on track at Laguna Seca! I ended up having the 5th or 6th quickest lap out of all R35, R34, R33, R32 GTR's.The only GTR's quicker were a few of the many 400-700 WHP ones that were built/tuned/FBO/etc. In this video everything on my car is stock except: coilovers, 3-trackday old tires, CUSCO front camber arms for alignment, Project mu Brake pads, MINES catback exhaust, and MINES Strut Tower Brace. Besides that, my car is stock as heck. Stock powertrain with stock tune and stock turbos. No extra HP, so my guess is my car is making around 280 WHP or so, nothing crazy. I ran 1:43.06 on the worn out Yokohama A052 tires. On new tires I believe at a minimum I'd be 1:40 sec club, maybe 1:39 if I send it. Fastest lap of the day was 1:36 by a track focused and built 600+ WHP R35 GTR. I believe with maybe 100-150 WHP over stock on my R34 GTR and nothing else changed I could run that time or quicker. I plan to revisit the track later this year with new tires and some suspension adjustment to try and go 1:39/1:40.
