BMI have commented that the Mines R34 is faster than a JGTC vehicle - something I'm sure the Z-Tune is not.

But then imagine Mines tuned Z-Tune.... :P

Hang on...even if you put it on slicks its not goign to be faster then a JGTC car :P

Just because BMI etc say it doesnt make it so. The dvds i have make for great viewing, but they are not exactly great for accurate tech data etc. I seriosuly doubt that their "Battles" are egit as you see some cars running semis and others runnign std rubber. Then there is the whole NSX keepign up with the truly exotic cars and huge discrepancies in times between one dvd to the next...

So in line with those inconsistancies, didnt that drift fella do a 53 or 52 seconds lap ih his JGTC NSX (from memory it was last seasons NSX and that team had its ass handed to it all season but the Toyota and Nissans so want even the quickest of the JGTC cars) ..yet was several seconds quicker then the Mines car.

So statements liek its quicer then a JGTC car, or quicker then an F1 Jordan are to make a poitn that the car is quick, not a statement of fact :D

BMI have been known for rigging races for JDM cars to win. On one of the latest DVD's Z-tune come from 4th to win on the last corner.

Don't get me wrong, I think BMI is a good watch, I just take the battle reults with a grain of salt.

seeing how the Z-tune holds BM, Top Rank Production car at tsubkia (sp), but saying that its more the driver than anything..

na v's turbo battle. the na fd which had 400hp was lapping times very similar to the mines r34 gtr because the drifto king himself was driving the fd

some odd arguments about times in here.

any video is bulls1t unless they have real drivers with real reasons to win. not just paid to make entertainment.

and as for a drifter being quick around a track :talktohand: he never won a jgtc did he?

If you are serious about times you can only look at those proper timed workshop laps they do, or a proper race

LOL, I always thought the results from these battles were a bit dodgy, guess I'm not the only person who thinks so. I still enjoy the battle royale most, HKS vs MINES vs MCR, come on GTR tuners, more MORE MORE!!!!!!

drift king is not that bad, i rember he is some sort of track record holder, he is just beening not consistence enough to win JGTC

never ever trust the result of BM, can't u see the 60+ yrs old man always win...?

Roy,

i belived it was the NSX-R that keeped up with the ture exotic cars..

NSXR, sorry, R or not, it is lucky to have anywhere near the power of the GT3, it weighs more then the GT3...yet the NSX beats it, plus every other Euro exotic. There is one particular DVD i have where you can see on the pics on the grid its on semis....none of the Euros are on Semis. That combined with the nutter that usually drives the NSX just parks it up th einside then hogs the line...its a piss take. Great viewing but no indication of the real pace of the car.

As for the Tsuchiya or whatever his name is..i understand he did win the Jap GrpA series...and if he is the same guy that drove for Toyota at Le Mans then he came in the places in the GT-One Toyota...though i dont know how common a surname it is...so he can obviously drive....

But that doesnt ake away from the fact that their batles are for the viewers entertainment. It seems the Tsukuba (spelling?) shootouts are a much more credible measure of the pace of the tuned cars,well thats my 2cents anyway

The comment about the Mines car being faster than the JGTC cars was ONLY in reference to acceleration and made by 2 JGTC GT500 Drivers.

I'm happy to accept this statement based on the fact that the Mines car produces 600ps & 60kg-m (as taken from GTR Magazine) and the GT500 cars are regulated to 500hp. Also factoring in the extreme engine response of the Mines GTR makes it 1 VERY VERY quick car (without the need for mega hp)

Could be right, but i would be surprised though.

The Japs dont run under the FIA regs for GT cars so i dont really know the restrictor sizes, weights etc of the car. But i would be surprised if the 2.6L Mines car had more torque then the 3.5L VQ GTR that is also turbocharged, the JGTC GTR would weigh less etc etc...But i suppose it could spring a surprise?!?!?!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
