Interesting I must say.

I expected the bike to win over everything.

Seems the R35 GTR is better through the corners and bike down the straight.

Each had their pros and cons but you would get that when compairing apples and oranges.

Still the R35 GTR is doing quite well and can stand its ground no matter what they put it up against.

its pretty pointless to compare a purpose built 4wd race car against a v8 family sedan... but they did, its pointless to compare an $80000 US gtr to a $200000 US porsche gt2, and they did that too.... drag racing is pointless... shredding tyres on purpose is pointless, building a 500kw GTR when you can only go 110km/h is pointless....

everythings pointless really, but it got porsche owners going, and holden owners without a leg to stand on, and it would be a nice feeling to have that gtr in your garage...

its all for fun and interesting to compare a top end car to a top end bike.. wonder how it wouldve gone against the desmodeci... spose you would need a nismo edition gtr for that to be in the same league.

given that most bikes can out perform most cars on corners.... and the ducati can out-corner most 4 cyl jap bikes due to its traction control system and controllable low down torque, the gtr must be absolutly neck breaking... (as shown by jeremy on top gear)

cheers

that driving would be awesome with some music . its so good i think it would even be bearable if it was yank and had them blah blahing on and telling us stuff like how the bike only has 1/3 as many cylinders as the car and other facts that are just as useless

car will always hold more corner speed than a bike due to its surface area of each tyre x 4.

i raced bikes & have ridden for over 12yrs & yes they are great BUT an 11sec gtr for some reason feels more impressive than a 10sec bike - thats the truth!

    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
