we have a new winner. the escudo on street tyres. 50.768 seconds. and it could be better. i'd say you could possibly get low 50's, or possibly even a high 49 is you have reflexes of steel. then i drove a '00 gtr with a bit of work done. did a 55 something. it handled like a blue whale in concrete after driving the escudo.

Times I've done so far ...

Mine's R34 GT-R - Fully Modded - 0'50.759

Amuse CArbon R - Fully Modded - 0'51.443

'97 R33 GTR (Non Vspec) - Full Modded - 0'52.188

Thats the only skylines one's I've done that are worth mentioning, only other Nissan one thats been faster than those is R92CP with a - 0'48.218

EDIT - sorry some of these times were with full slicks :no: But no NOS :laugh:

fark nice time for a 33gtr!! am watching bathurst now and its got me hell in the mood for time attack!

Yeah ws flicking over while the pace car was out :( Took about 15 goes to get the laptimes down to that. Do people do the laps themselves or use the B-Spec driver? Cause my driver is shit :whistling:

come on guys, sports tyres only!!!!! and this thread is for gt4 only!!

tsukuba super lap IRL is for (JDM) tuned road cars on sports tyres.

I can't remember a twin engined Suzuki Escudo (Vitara 4WD) Pikes Peak (Dirt Trial) car being sold for road use either... just to make it clear, because my earlier post about that car seems to have been mis-interpreted. That is not a tuned road car. Pikes Peak specials are some of the most highly developed and specialised race cars around. If the game calls it a race car, rally car, or dirt trial car, its fairly obvious it's not a normal road car, isn't it?

R34 GTR N1 Vspec2 (The one with the carbon bonnet from the factory...*drools*) I did a 54.239...but having read about the LSD making things worse I may be in for somthing lower soon!

Oh and Harry this car makes a bit over 800hp with the same turbo and stuff as your R32 so maybe try and track one of these down :(

The biggest problem I have is crappy brakes :wave: what settings to people run on the brakes?? Or do you not bother touching them?

yeah I've used an R34 GTR (base model GTR) and got just over 800bhp. I've since been trying the full race LSD and setting the front up loose and rear tight, and it seems to improve the traction without hurting the handling, but my lap times don't really show it...

ok, well cranked up the old '00 r34 gtr last night. got a 52.936 but can definately go faster. it was about 1am this morning and i was tired as anything. the handling could use some serious tuning though. i reakon just setup how it is i could manage a mid 52. a few laps after i did that best one i was 0.3xx faster at the second split over that 52.936, but i lost it on the last corner.

going to try some more cars tonight, such as the amuse carbon r, an n1 gtr, and a rx7. going to try to get to the low 52's, or even a high 51 would be nice.

that inspired me to get my 822bhp R34 GTR V SpecII back on the track to see if I could beat my earlier 53.007. I did three 52 second laps this afternoon - 52.894, 52.821 and a 52.693! I don't think I can go any faster - that was a pretty damn good lap!

i got another 52 second lap last night, but it was slower than my best. the pressure gets to me and i lose it on the last corner. after i did that lap the next lap i was 0.3 up at the 2nd split, but screwed up the last corner. after doing the amount that i have, i think the best i could do is about a 52.7, but i would have to do a perfect lap, so i doubt its going to happen.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
