Pretty cool race. It's great to seet an F50 and Diablo racing. Sure the Porsche GT2 is old though still a pretty fast car.

Including a stock R34 is just a silly inclusion in this company. Just out of interest, how much money would you need to spend on a R34 to get it up with the front runners. Some people I imagine would say "just up the boost" though in reality I imagine you would need to throw at it.

Anyway hope you enjoy it.

Yes the R34 is a GTR but in my opinion a stock GTR is severly outclassed in that company. I understand that a heavily modified GTR will be able to keep up though a stock GTR is always going to be beaten. It gives a good reference point as to how fast the other cars are.

Putting a GTR34 in amongst F50's, F40's, Diablo's and the like is just plain unfair. You might outrun them on a twisted road, but on an open circuit (e.g. Tsukuba), it's going to get annihilated. It would be interesting as a matter of fact to post the stats on these cars to see exactly how out-muscled the GTR is in this mix.

This was always going to be an unfair fight for the GTR. Sorry to hardcore Skyliners, but it ain't no F40... not even close!

As a matter of reference, check this out:

Just to prove a point, the F50 runs a flat 12 quarter mile, and the F40 is quicker again! And these are cars that are known to be quicker on the track than on the drag strip... there's no way a GTR can compete unless VERY heavily modified. Then again, you'd still have money left over for the difference in buying an F40 / F50... something to consider.

I thought the F50 looked super too. You don't realise how good some cars look until they are next to another great car. The wing looks a bit old school though it was sort of a leader of it's times and surely everyone would want to own one (except for maybe those who own an Enzo or Zonda, Carerra GT, Vehron, McLaren SLR, McLaren F1, Koenigsegg, et al. or GTS25T in my case).

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
