This GT-R - the R35 - throws even former GT-Rs into the weeds via an all-new 3.8-litre bi-turbo V6 providing 480 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.

AWW :)

But yay for the GTR's overall and how good Nissan has done for the r35. Now the SpecV needs fastest accelerating production two-seater car :)

Sounds legit to me. Whilst the Italian version of the Guinness Book of World Records sounds a bit odd...I suspect it's only the type of content that differentiates the Italian edition from another edition and not the records themselves. Perhaps they have more car related records in the Italian edition? Afterall, you can't fit every world record into one book.

Anyway, the record itself sounds correct. Even though there are faster accelerating cars, I can't think of any that are four seater. Only the Japanese put 4 seats into vehicles that should have 2 haha. I suspect the lap of the Nurburgring was mentioned on the plaque because this might be their criteria for a legitimately street-legal production car; they are just stating/proving that it can be driven on a public road and it is not simply a racing car with 4 seats.

You talking about the N-Ring time or the Guinness World Record Certificate?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nürburgring_lap_times

Wikipedia is not to be taken as solid evidance... The Motor Report does reports on many cars but still...

Nissan Motors conducted the test.

Published (Magazines) figures would be more believable...

I'm not seeing the relevance? What does Wikipedia have to do with this?

It was in relation to the OP's question.

The article by TMR that D-Spec posted up was saying that the R35 GTR set the record for the fastest 4 seater production car and the article mentioned the N-Ring time it did.

I believe D-Spec was probably also questioning the N-Ring time.

It was for his reference...

This records stuff all seems a bit iffy to me.

I'd like to see indendent tests done by someone other than the manufacturer.

Hardthough coz then the manfuacturer could say it's not our fault that you can't drive our car fast.

Didn't Nissan and Porsche have a bit of whinge about that stuff?

Oh I get you now. You were asking if his comment was in reference to faster 0-60 times or faster Nurburgring laps. Well as pointed out in my post, I think the only thing the Nurburgring lap had to do with it was criteria for being a street-legal production car. Otherwise they would have put the lap time on the plaque too instead of just stating that it completed a lap.

With Guinness World Records there has to be a Guinness representative/supervisor present at an event for it to be officially recorded, so unless Nissan paid them off or pulled off some trickery I still say it's legit.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
