Well into the top 10, being 4wd and basically purpose built it will flog em on the track....also the straight they use isn't huge so terminal speed shouldnt come into it. Its a stretch but it may well choke your chicken... as stated purpose built 4wd it will be right at home.

Edited by madbung

One things certain it'll be quicker than the monaro......that'll do :(

I still reckon it'll surprise a few with it's tractability regardless of weight, none of the top 10 cars are quarter mile animals...quick but they don't put the GTR to shame and the majority are also rwd..well balanced yeah but the nissan should be pretty flat and quick around that track.

There's no way it will make the top 10. These aren't your 'everyday supercars'; they're hyper cars. I love GTR's as much as the next guy, but basically every car in the top 10 is in another league.

Even with my Skyline blinkers on I'd have to agree.

Would love to be proved wrong though.

Would the 180k limiter be an issue on that track?

Don't forget how well the R35 GTR did at the timeattack. 1.01 stock... look up other stock cars around tsukuba.

The 360 Challenge Stradale did 1.02 around Tsukuba, and is in 14th place on the top gear times.

So yeah i agree with Snowy. Faster than the GT3, but slower than the Carerra GT. Around 7th-15th is my guess. I just hope it's not raining when they do it, i hate when they test cars in the wet, hard to judge against other cars then.

Im gonna say 12 to 15

However I think below gets best quote of this thread :(

smoke the tyres harder than a VL at a wedding so i'll go 11th behind the Ascari KZ1

Anyone got that photo?? hahahaha

maybe..it did well around the 'ring as its a LONG track...on a short track the more nimble cars should school it...i think ur right..like 10/11th...its 1740kg and 480hp..the weight just seems to be too much of a problem on a short track...

Except it's already "school"ing the light cars around short tracks such as Tsukuba.

small track... turbo power delivery... depends on usable power, the length of gearing vs power band... its great to have 5 kajillion jigawats... but if your having a hard time keeping yourself in that band then its pretty useless... yes I know they car is a 4lt tt.. so in theory should have excellent mid range but all comparisons Ive read have not been very tight courses.... almost anything with a reasonable shift seems to get power down on those tracks.

small courses with hard turning.... all that weight changing direction and not so much use of power could be something exceptionally crap... then again... the car probably is tuned pretty well and stock turbs would deliver power pretty low in the range... cant wait to see the effects on turn in with the newer system and .. well... we know if it manages to turn it will exit pretty fast..........

scary ride though shift the low slung wieght... well atleast it wont be so easy to flip... provided your on tar.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
