14 - 1:22.3 – Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale

20 - 1:23.7 – Lamborghini Murciélago (retested)

As fond as I am of the V35.. its got stiff competition.. even at out of the top 10

It has its work cut out..

The track is to small for the r35 to perform at its peak. It will be well down the list imo.

But isn't one of the GTR's strong points it's speed out of corners and grip through corners? Being a small track would generally mean that top speed is taken out of equation, and grip and acceleration out of corners become what makes a car quick there. With this logic you would say that the GTR should do damn well.

I gotta give it to some of you die hard fans. You are coming up with excuses already!

Few other things. You are guessing its spot assuming no more cars go on the list before now and then. We all know the bugatti will be in the top ten, even if it doesnt handle that great its just got that much out right power. The fancy pants 430 is as fast as the Enzo. There is a new Koenigsegg coming out. The porka GT2, turbo, and I think GT3 RS (as Im fairly sure thats the 996 model on that board) arent on there. The R8 was done in the wet, and there is the R8 V12 desiel coming out. I think the new M3 will also be a surprise. And thats just completely ignoring anything out that is due to come out. Don't get me wrong, for a $150k car, I think its quick. But I doubt it will get in to the top 20, assuming the above cars dont go on the list. If they do good luck to it even getting in to the top 30.

BTW, out of that list, the R8 and Murciélago are AWD. If the 997 turbo gets up on that list it would be too. So its a fair call to bring the AWD up.

wow man it does have hard compeition, but i have fair in the almightly GTR! :D:D:banana:

Odd how so many people are pessimistic about its performance. I definantly think it will make the top 10 without a doubt. at best I rekon it will make 5th provided its not raining. I have faith in the GOD!

The R35's Nordshleife time is fractionally faster than the Z06 / 997 Turbo. Considering the Z06 made it into 16th place and the GT3 RS is meant to be as quick on the track as a Turbo (the Turbo time was in the wet so it doesn't count) I think it'll struggle for anything above the low teens.

And since there's the regular street tyre option (Bridgestone RE070) as well as the optional "sports" street tyre (Bridgestone RE-01R) it'll also depend on what setup the Top Gear guys eventually drive the car with.

    • 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.
