Two different quotes and two different interpretations.

Now if you believe that using cut slicks would enable the GTR into the 7:30 then your dreaming.

We shall see when the first production GTR actually tries to tackle the ring, whether or not its as fast as the CGT.

It says around 7:30 in the dry with cut slicks and that 7:38 was on a partially wet track.

Who knows until it happens.

what makes you guys think that nissan is the only company that do their best within what they think is 'fair' to get a good time? what tyres did the porsche use... etc etc.. why is nissan the only time people seem keen to challenge. I would trust them over the german marques to set an 'honest' time.

I just watched the video. you can see what tyres they are using. regular street spec bridgestones. why would they use anything else? you can even hear them protesting in the video. I've never heard slicks make noises like that. not even semi-slicks sounds like that.

I've already seen this discussion on another forum...

You can see them put the tyres on in their video. They are Bridgetstone RE070 tyres. The same tyres they supply with the GTR from the dealer. Why would they use anything else?

I've got no idea on what monarocountry is trying to get at here.

He's blabbing about the 'cut-slicks' on the ls1 forums aswell. Me thinks that someone is in denial that the GT-R is indeed an absolute legit weapon.

Pretty pathetic attempt to try take the light away on what truly is a remarkable piece of machinery.

Cheers,

Steve.

The Nissan, the... we all know that no one who speaks German could be an evil man!

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
