7 1.19.7 - Nissan GTR

8 1:19.7 – Ferrari 430 Scuderia

9 1:19.8 – Porsche Carrera GT

10 1:19.8 – Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

thats amazing! all the cars below are at least 3-4 times more expensive!, and the sound it made through the follow through! just amazing...this should silence the cynics!

It was a poor launch and the Stig went wide on the first corner. Bloody fast lap otherwise. I think it could have knocked the Atom off and climbed up to 6th place over all. Now bring on the V-Spec!

Definately got a lot more respect for the new GTR after that lap - I didn't think it would get into the Top 10 let alone knocking on the door of Top 5! Thats Ferrari Enzo territory isn't it?

Simply amazing to think there will be even better to come with the V-Spec soon..

Nissan engineers need a pat on the back for what they have been able to achieve so far, with hopefully much more to come :D

We should petition for a re-shoot with launch control being used.

Thats a farkin great idea!

It should be higher than that.

Remember The Stig threw the CCR iff the road, had Koenigg fit a spoiler and then they had another crack at it?

Well, for the Nissan as well, please.

kthnxbai.

Do you think they only do one lap and go off that time?

I was gobsmacked by the result...

The sound at full tilt was ... well.. the wife and I both were OUT LOUD.. what the f**k, THAT is awsome... it was quite allot better than expected and better than the youtube shiz before it!

the car ran wide pretty consistently with crap loads of understear... it looked like every corner it was about to lean hard but just seemed to stop like the opposing sides suspension would tighten up half a second after a initial turn in... I was thoroughly impressed and cant quite believe how well he did... I honestly cannot believe how well the extremely heavy vehicle absolutely smashed cars with 2/3rds the wieght and double the power. yes awd can get power down quite a bit earlier coming out of a corner.. provided you could turn the stupid thing.. but ... well.. wow.. the promises other gtr's made about turn in seem to have come true in the 35 model.

genuinely depressed. And now that I'm earning quite a bit more than I used to .. if it's acceptably priced Ill even buy one.. wonder what it's capable of with e85 whent hat his aus!

It wasn't Top 5, it did 1:19.7

1 1:17.3 – Ascari A10

2 1:17.6 – Koenigsegg CCX (with "Top Gear Spoiler")

3 1:18.4 – Pagani Zonda F

4 1:18.9 – Maserati MC12

5 1:19.0 – Ferrari Enzo

6 1:19.5 – Ariel Atom 2 300

7 1.19.7 - Nissan GTR

8 1:19.7 – Ferrari 430 Scuderia

9 1:19.8 – Porsche Carrera GT

10 1:19.8 – Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

Now add the weight and power of each car to show what an impressive result that is.

Well I was quite impressed. As someones already said the pull out of some of the slower corners is insane. Hamond and May really did sum it up though. They did still keep calling it a Datsun, even though its not built like one etc, that is still going to be the way a lot of people will view it. Either way, bloody fast, and by far the most livable car in the top 10.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
