That question usually starts a shit fight about that was a race-car, i.e. Nissan and their dodgy R33 GTR; or it wasn't a full-lap (ie. only from the toll entry/exit points) etc etc. Some are independent tests, magazines getting over excited, and so on.

Have a looksie at the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife_fastest_lap_times and make up your own mind.

I just want to see it on TopGear with Stig behind the wheel.

And they are also keen to topple Porsche’s 911 GT2 and GT3 from the top of performance trackday wish lists.

I'm sure porsche's kicking back thinking... "amatures".

the face of that Porsche is very intimidating, f**ken just happily smiling, i really hope Nissan bring out something serious and i dont think the rsr can be considered as a road car. :S

i wont be surprise if Porsche does come out on top with this war, the first ever r35gtr to be imported (Europe) was sent to Stuttgart to the porsche factory engineers for a thorough examination.

i love nissan head engineer statement though "why ask why our cars so are cheap, why not ask why our competitors cars are soo expensive"

R35 spotted in emissions testing lab in Melbourne... I wonder why a GT-R would be getting emissions tested? :)

hehe yeah mate we already knew that from the R35 in Melbourne thread.

It will be the first GTR on the roads here shortly.

So who holds the current record ?

Pagani Zonda F Clubsport650 PS/1230 kg2007-09Semi-wet conditions.Thats the fastest full unmodified road car that I could find. I've got the article in an EVO mag lying around here somewhere. Pagani borrowed it from a customer so it wasnt a factory prepped car. He made them increase the ride height so it didnt scrape too badly, then they had to wait until the guys testing before them finished (it was almost dark) then tried to do 3 laps (practice/warm up, record, 2nd record attempt). They took the record on the first run, though the second was looking faster again (by about 4 seconds) but they called it due to failing light. Hope that helps

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
