Oh my god, that's f**kin TUFF! :) excellent driving... your downshifts are awesome to watch... what sort of gearset does the car have?

it's a ppg gearbox, and mark's bloody good at the changes, really shits me :ermm:

here is a vid of the pre race day when we were having bad handling issues, watch the end mark has a huge moment at about 180kays! hehe

As others have said, great effort. In my eyes the most impressive thing is the amount of work/time/effort you have put into the car getting it to where it is...Great to see some support by the likes of Hi-Octane etc...but the work you peboth personally put into the car!..not simply buying an uber built car. So envious that you guys have got to go through the build process yourselves. ;)

Top work and cant wait to see what happens to the other GTRs in the stable.

PS...if you ever tire of track stuff i will swap you my POS GTSt which is perfect for throwing sideways into tyre barriers for any of the GTRs :)

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I don't even know that you want an M2 Competition as a track car. My rule for a track car is only risk as much as you're willing to completely total out. Clean stock C5 Z06 Corvettes out here are cheap. Buying someone else's already ruined track car is even cheaper. Maybe I'm just not that good a driver but even a Fiesta ST on the Nordschleife felt like as much car as I could realistically handle.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I've already gone over the cam. A new one is going in. An old one is coming out! The new one is smaller, with less overlap. It has way more lift, but it will be more mild mannered (hopefully, probably very minorly) I'm also measuring for two more mufflers, with the goal of having four mufflers in my car. But that probably will be done by an exhaust shop in a drive in, measure, buy parts, install parts later kind of deal.

      Mine is not even a GTR and I've been resisting the urge to make it a power monster for the last 25 years. And as a consequence, I have driven it to work nearly every day across that span of time.

      Since the motor is out, I suggest pop in a nice dirty LS chop cam. MOAR of this please:

      This.. no one is going into it wanting to "build" a fast track car, because let's be honest you can buy a i30N or Type-R lawn mower and both will destroy a R32 GT-R (even with mild mods) around a circuit.   Greg is on the Gregging money here.   If you love your R32 GT-R, just leave it stock and enjoy it and If you want a fast car to play with and hit the track with, just put aside $80K for a M2 Competition and keep the R32 GT-R as a weekend cruiser. Same outcome (you have a R32 GT-R and you have a fast track car) really.
