mmmm i wanna watch the superlap australia, theres 2 v8 supercar style cars and there's also a race done up r34, though not as epic as the super gt nissan gtr's i wonder how it'll go... there's also another like 4 32gtr's haha

These are the latest results from Superlap Australia @ Eastern Creek International Raceway in Sydney TODAY.

The Sierra Sierra Evo clocked a time of 1:32.2480.

Now the fastes ever lap time at Eastern Creek International Raceway in a V8 supercar was by Mark Skaife in a VT Commodore 1:31.7301.

The Hi-Octane R34 GTR is yet to set a lap time but my guess is it will be around the lap time of the Sierra Sierra Evo, if not a little slower due to traction issues.

Now if we look at this properly, the fastest lap time in a V8 supercar was set around ~10years ago, and the time-attack cars of today can not keep up with the V8 supercar's times.

That pretty much proves that a V8 Supercar would absolutely smash a GTR Skyline around a racetrack, regardless of whether its something small like Barbagello's of long and flowing like Bathurst!

.... and yet you missed the part where I said that the race prepped R32 GTR that skaife himself drove around bathurst, and drove again recently around bathurst, was only 3 seconds slower than the quallifying speeds of the V8 supercars of today. The car is 20 years old and STILL pretty much a match for the V8 supercars. Put that money into an 34R and I have no doubts that it would be closer.

At the end of the day, the current V8 supercars will be faster than a car such as the Mines R34 GTR Skyline.

HOWEVER, I do agree that if a team with proper engineers and real funding was to spend as much time, money & testing on a GTR as the current teams do on their V8 Supercars, then yes i agree that a GTR would be a good match for the V8's.

Yeah, the comparison between the MINES GTR and the V8 was always going to fail, it has to be fully funded race prepped 34R vs fully race prepped V8 Supercar to be a proper comparison. However doesn't look like we'd be able to see them on a track together anytime soon :P Such a shame...

a good comparison is the GT3 porsche , i think this would be a similar lap time to a full on GTR 34 given the r35 is slightly faster than a GT3, is this a fair comment . GT3 best lap can do a lap of Mallala in 1.14 secs and greg murphy commodore v8 supercar in 1.08 .

I was at the Eastern Creek World Time Attack, there was the High Octane R34 GTR that did a lap time of 1:34.1090 and a Mal Rose Racing Holden Commodore with a lap time of 1:39.3230.

Fair to say both cars were in the same pro class with a 5secs difference, so I would naturally think a modified R34 GTR is a faster car around a track than a modifed V8 Holden.

I have not mentioned the CyberEvo present at the event took the 1st place with a lap time of 1:30.5870, could potentially done a 1:29 but did not due to near blown engine which they tried to fix overnight nonetheless still managed to win the pro class event.

Not sure if you guys know, but the CyberEvo does laps around Tsukuba track in Japan in the 54secs range similar to that of the MSpeed R34 GTR, so we can pretty much use the CyberEvo lap times around Eastern Creek and compare that to the Mal Rose Holden Commodore, meaning a near 9 seconds difference.

Stock R34 GTR vs V8 Supercar, thats not even fair to even compare.

Modified R34 GTR vs Modified V8 Holden, as above R34 GTR clearly is faster.

GT500 R34 GTR vs V8 Supercar, I wouldn't have a clue but my money is on the GT500 R34 GTR

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
