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

    • But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me     
    • Thanks Duncan, I don't have a GTR these days mate. Gone soft..
    • Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...
    • More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.  
    • Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.
