Apologies if this has been posted before but I haven't seen it on here and thought it was excellent. Turn up the sound and you can hear the tyres working and plenty of ripple strip action

It was the first production car to go sub 8 min. I understand the new GTR is targeting close to 7 min

Awesome vids

It'll be an awesome effort to get anywhere near 7. The quickest cars in world are doing 7min times. Personally I think the new GTR will be somewhere between 7 1/2 and 8 mins. You might be refferring to the below list which has the GTR at 7.15, which i think is pure crap. Physics alone means there is no way a car as big and heavy with the rumoured power could achieve this time. But - would love to be wrong on this one.

Yeah no way the new GTR will do 7.15... its aiming for the 911 Turbo which would be a touch slower than the 997 GT2....

Regardless, anywhere near the 7:30 is farken quick.

That R33 GTR in that video must of been stock, how slow does it accelerate!!!

    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
