R35 Faster Than Group A R32 Gtr!

[fireboy]

wow!! looking good people

about time the r35 should rise and shine!

[Nee-san]

We arent finished yet Marko

Considered Skirts Martin >?

Sterling effort on the lap times guys extremely impressive times. In defence of the 21 year old R32 I would suggest that the R32 would pick up a couple of seconds a lap if run on a set of modern slicks as tyre technoligy has come a long way in the last 21 years.

That is true dazmo, but the flip side to this is that we have never got to race on a properly 'rubbered in' track as the Group A cars did. With few cars actually putting rubber on the track Mallala has become slower over the past few years (IMO). When we were able to run rounds of the Improved Production championship at the big meets (2 litre Super Tourers etc) the lap times always improved due to the grip level of the track lifting

Willall Racing just ran a 1 min 12.19 at Mallala today in their JDM R35 GTR.

Faster than the group A R32 GTR!

Congratulations Keir & Martin. You guys are flying now.

E85 looks like the way to go, when are you going to fit the bigger turbos?

Wish I was there................. oh well. I will keep working.

Nice going! See, what I don't understand (well, I do but for the sake of discussion) is with a few mods for those who can afford it, you'd get a lot of change from $400K with a GTR and still go quicker than this in a bit more comfort ...

2012 Lexus LFA vs 2010 Nissan GT-R

Not much in it if you ask me ... and not too shabby for a stock item.

Someone willl one day develop full LCD retrofits and heads up (even into ratty old R34's) ... for those that want it all.

This video would look a whole lot different with some carbon, aeros, turbos, drivetrain ... and still have change for Super GT season tickets.

Shuddup ... a bloke can dream can't he?

That and a few other physical changes around the track made the track slower as well.

Hopefully I can get my track R32 ready soon, so we can have a fair comparison between a properly modded, well maintained track R32GTR with the R35. I wish I can get the suspension setup or a copy version of the Gibson's cars though.

I am however may not be up to the task of driving since I have not driven on the track for close to a year

May have to get Keir to drive both for a fair comparison and see which is faster ^_^

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately I've relocated back to South Australia for work.

August is only 2 months away, but I hope to have the new r32 tuned by then.

I saw your other post with the R35. That is a nice achievement. I can't wait to see how fast it will be when you complete the project.

At least you will be in the heartland of GTR development when it comes time to buy a 35

[MattR]

Heya Dahn. long time no hear. where abouts are you located back here now?

Considered Skirts Martin >?

That is a terrible mental image.

[Nee-san]

That is a terrible mental image.

I meant for downforce..... the sliding type, Lol.

[Martin Donnon]

What is wrong with you guys!

As per aerodynamic side skirts - yes!
