2:08.4651 is the lap record set this year.... the GTR was in the 2.13s or something from memory.

A pretty good time considering the aero aids that are allowed today!

What I want to see is JGTC/Super GT cars versus V8 Supercars!

I think the DTM cars will chew em up and spit them out. They all have different restrictions etc, so you can't truly compare em. Would be awesome if someone would come up with a global touring car championship... I guess like the Mixed Martial Arts Championships for GT cars :)

DTM > JGTC > BTCC > V8 Supercars > Nascar (yeehaw)

Would be an awesome sight but, wouldn't be fair. The Super GTs would need to have some restrictions in place. Going by lap times on circuits like Sepang, Motegi & Phillip Island - Super GT > Moto GP > V8 Supercars.

Well after watchin an interview with some race director dude, who was with the euro tourin cars and aussie cars as well as the americans and F1.. he says the JGTC cars are the fastest GT style cars on the planet.. and i dont think his wrong :)

Aero aids on the V8s? Like I know they have wings and stuff...

Also, when did that extra chicane go in?

Given the type of race I would have thought the lemans series cars probably would have been best suited.

There you go guys, its the race record and not the lap record that hasnt been broken yet

Still cool though...

yer i just checked the records.. they still hold the Race record of 6hrs and 19mins.. current crop from 2000 onwards r still a fair way.. even the VR was closer with 6hrs and 20mins.. hahah now theyre doin 6 hrs 29mins

god bless the monster the R32 truly is :)

Gun,

I personally think that given the right rules, it'd be dammed interesting...

If you looked the way that the Performace cars ran round the mount, and in many ways were quicker over the top, then a well setup GT-R with the power could be the package to win...

As others have said, it'll be the restrictions and rules that kick it in the bum...

ffs, the '32s IIRC, are still restricted on the intake for AUS circuit racing??

    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear
