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).

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
