Nurburgring Nordschleife Falls To The Mighty 911 Gt2 In 7:32


Recommended Posts

"o Nissan got to enjoy a brief stint in the sun ahead of the 911 Turbo, only to have their 7:38 time in the new GT-R cast aside by the all new Porsche 911 GT2. It's only a matter of time before Nissan debuts their V-Spec, but for now the GT2 has the bragging rights."

Hopefully The V.Spec can Pull something out of the Bag.

When your driving around a track that is over 20 km around, goes up and down lots of hills and all over the place there are bound to be some damp spots.

and around and around and around we go

Nissan will probably focus on the V spec now and slash another 6 seconds off the clock.......then Porsche will go and bring out a special stripped out version of GT2 and shave another few seconds off that.....and then V spec 2 will beat the uber GT2 and the fight goes on.

I hope so , that sounds sweet

A stripped out GT2??? have you seen a GT2? there's hardly anything in there to begin with

I was under the impression GT2 still had some stuff left in there

I only remember the GT3 being so bare that it would make a stripper blush.

I'm don't know porsches that well so I could be completely off the mark here

gotta compare apples with apples. It's GTR vs 911 Turbo (or even a base 911 really) and GTR V-Spec vs GT2/3, etc...

the GT2 had already recorded a quicker time around the Ring a while ago, they've just gone around again for shits and giggles. Porsche had already posted a GT2 time before the GTR went around.

Who cares really, the luxo GTR is a few seconds off in full trim on a damp track, with a $220-$250k V-Spec version to come which will smack the worried grin off Porsche's faces again

and Porsche would not give a shit about not selling their GT2's as quick as Nissan's GTR... Porsche aren't trying to knock off Toyota in sales volume stakes

You are thinking about the GT3 RS, which comes with a rollcage as an option.

Damn, was it Walter Rorhl that did that 7.32 in the GT2?

Nissan still has the advantage, I'm sure the "average" driver would be faster in a GTR (V-spec or not) than the GT2 - plus its much cheaper. By a lot.

Nissan never went out to bench mark the R35 GTR against the GT2. It was always a comparison between the 911 turbo and the GTR.

Having said that, I wonder how the R35 GTR in GT2 spec (RWD, less luxuries, less weight etc) would fare. Not that Nissan will ever do this as their AWD is a massive advantage.

RWD in stripped out spec....I like that.

ive always said, i wanted the V-spec to be a RWD version with both manual and twin clutch auto options, with the RWD will change the weight distribution, meaning gear box mounted back so far isnt needed, hence it can run up to the engine, hence the possibility of a manual option :)

It will never happen as AWD makes the GTR faster around corners and off the line. I don't know how the GT2/3 manages to achieve such good cornering ability and yet be quicker.

What's the weight difference between the GT2 and 911 turbo? (can't be bothered looking it up :) )

The fact that the gearbox is mounted in the rear has nothing to do with the lack of a manual option.

As mentioned a lot of times in other threads, other cars have rear mounted manual transaxles such as the Corvette's from the C4 on.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
