I was just reading this article on these guys at EVO trying to modify an E36 M3 to do the Nurburgring Norschlief under 8 mins.

Everyone knows the R33 GTR was the first production car to dip under 8 mins. But most say that it was slightly modified.

If so, what modifications would be required on an R32 GTR, R33 GTR, R34 GTR to lap under 8 mins?

It would definitely have had the limiter removed - it would've been tagging it for about half the track otherwise.

The only other mod made was to run on slicks, which makes a fair difference on a track that size.

I've got a video of the R33 run around the 'ring. It's certainly not limited to 180, but judging from the tyre noise I'd say it was running road tyres, not slicks or even R tyres, but good road tyres.

semi slicks make more noise than road tyres. I have no idea about full slicks tho.

Yeah R tyres make more of a hum compared to a road tyre, but these were screeching sound under side load pressure, like a road tyre under pressure. The car was floating around to much to be on R tyres though.

fcuk the 33. just get an R34 Nur Spec! ;)

I think the 33 that did it under 8 min had the speed limiter removed....... not 100% sure, but i did read it somehwere.

Shit yeah... isn't that why they called it the Nur Spec anyhoo?

The R33 GT-R that ran the 7:59 was a development vehicle. It was on at least semi slicks, and running non-standard boost (as well as the speed limiter removed). Not sure about the exhaust and other simple bolt-ons.

I believe, though I can't remember, that it may have had a full cage in it as well.

as far as i know it was the fastest production car to break the 8 min mark at the time. that is the record they were trying to beat. but any car that runs in this class has to be a full production car for the market for the public to buy and when thety test it it has to be in full trim and same specs as what they are on the road. thet technicality that the nissan GTR had was that it broke the record, but they didnt have a speed limiter on it ike the road going version which allowed it to make the time it did, so porsche (there main rival for the title) made sure that this was known and they didnt count the lap as a proper time for the car, bcoz of that. pretty stupid if u ask me, but rules are rules. if only nissan didnt bring there cars out with speed limiters......

7:59 - Nissan Skyline R33, unknown suspension & boost; no limiter (Autocar magazine 1997)

I am pretty sure it had performance tyres on too...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
