The Nissan Skyline-9th Best Sportscar Of Alltime

[Bumblebee]

geez you guys really need to get your shit together.. the r32 platform may have been released a few months before the GTR, but the GTR shell was only built for 1 purpose and that was to go racing... All other derivatives where in place so it didnt look as suss... can u imagine they release only a GTR?? too suss

They were never going to go racing with the 2lt.. it was intended for a 2.4lt

The awd wasnt flogged from porsche.. they have never built an infinite ratio awd system.

The R33 GTR was released a whole year later and it was based on a passenger platform.. hence y it is so slow compared to the R32 and R34.

And another thing.. the rules WERE changed to exclude the GTR from racing. If u dont think so, have a chat to a guy called Mel @ the kangan batman tafe... He had a big role back then

[funkymonkey]

lol Nissan spent billions of dollars in R&D, and then producing much more passenger car variants of the GTR.. so it didn't look sus?

Kev @ the house down the street thinks you're on crack.

Right, Nissan built a bunch of street cars to hide some vast conspiracy about....a race car or something? Dude, I think the warmer weather is causing your tinfoil hat to bake your brain. You're making less sense than your average "coverup" crackpot.

No, but Porsche was the first company to try running an asymmetric AWD system...at least in a production car.

The Quattro, VR-4, etc ran the same torque split front to rear using mechanical limited slip differentials. The Porsche 959 was the first sports car to try using electronic control of those differentials to actively control that torque split, with an 80% rear bias under "normal" conditions.

ATTESSA went one step further and did a 100% rear bias, but clearly its an evolution of the asymmetric AWD concept pioneered by Porsche rather than the revolution away from the same amount of power going to both ends of the vehicle that had been the norm for AWD vehicle prior.

Right, some bloke now working at a TAFE used to be a committee member of the FIA? What, he finds dealing with pimply-faced youths more rewarding than an operational role in the world's premier motorsport organisation?

no, rather he builds australias fastest drag machines now instead and yes they spent billions of dollars on R&D to produce the limited run of GTRS just like the rest of world does on its outright race cars

GTR was built only to beat everything on the track.

From what I can gather you guys love the skyline being rank number 9 in the world....LOL.

I find it amazing how many car experts we have....the worlds best are right here...

So was it a good ideal to place the car in the field at all?

[HotPlates]

I think this tops everything so far....

As for putting down all that hp off the line is another thing entirely. Would need some pretty good slicks!

diablo was put into production long after the GTR. so no, it wasn't the attesa pioneer.

and funky, the pagani is HOT. but the interior looks like it was designed by a hooker....

[funkymonkey]

If I was to own that car, I can deal with being inside a hooker very easily.
