Found this on another forum and thought it would be a good post. No one seems to have put it up yet on here from a quick search.

New Evo mag out in the UK has filmed 2 parts of the GTR vs Veyron. They also have a number of other clips down the right side including the Alpina B7.

This is an old airstrip used as a proving ground by many car clubs, magazines and also tv shows.

Enjoy ;)

Nice one. Predictable crevasse separating the acceleration. I don't believe the Veyron is as good on the track as expected though (maybe due to its 2+ ton laden weight - I was like OMGWTF when I saw the scales), and fair enough, it wasn't really designed to be anything more than a 2mil drag car/luxury grand tourer. Can't remember exact details, but I think Veyron lapped ring in 7:40 - but the driver may have been scared to push it 100% and lose his job....

If I had the choice I'd still take the R35 as a track car and use the other 90% of the money to buy an F430 convertible as my daily and a nice house ;)

The video kinda reminded me of vintage top gear: R33 GTR vs McLaren F1

one of those cars actually has a ''horse power "gauge , ten more cylinders and just generally screams out "i am compensating for lack of a number of things"

Lol whatever impresses those lucky enough to afford it ("Ohhh look Margaret, i'm putting down 805hp, still got another 200 on reserve).

But in all honesty, the veyron is an engineering marvel. I don't think you'll ever see a car as crazy.

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
