thanks heaps for posting up that viewing pleasure!!

im surprised at the gallardo it is a fair beast and extremely nimble..... as for gtr vs gt3..... :) they are both heavy big 4wd's and im happy that nissan could come up with something to rival porsche from stock.

as for the nsx :( c'mon its n/a and likea 3 litre..... it does realy well for what it is id love to supercharge one!

The GT3 isn't 4WD, its RWD and only around 1400Kgs from memory

Those gearchanges on the Lambo looked savage. The GT-R was the star of that race. The fact a stock, first generation GT-R made a hotted up Lamborghini work that hard for a win is such an awesome result. :ermm:

The 911 Turbo was holding up the GT3 something shocking...

Although it is understandable that they wouldn't be pushing those expensive, loaned, lumps of metal to 10/10ths for a friendly race :ermm:

Agreed, and Best Motoring is more race-o-tainment than a really impartial test of performance. But the laptimes and qualifying are pretty good as a reference.

I was disappoint with how the GT3 was held up, it has been my favorite car ever since it came out and I wanted to see how it would do.

fantastic video thanks for the link.

There did seem to be some troubles with the porches as they didn't seem to be as aggressive in the corners as previous racers. Someone made a comment that the driver of the GT3 was complaining of understeer and poor tyres?

It is truely amazing to see a car in the price range of the GTR putting up such a strong fight against lambo's best. This to me brings back memories of the R32 :P more so than anything else about the car! It's great for god to be back.

I'm going to shot by a few ppls for saying this, The 35GTR brakes are going to catch fire under normal race conditions from what was in that video.

no you wont get shot. I will by the way thing are going around here...

I second that fo shizzle. :(:)

The thing that in sure many wont agree with is that the GTR was fading fast and that was only after 5 laps although i will admit it was most likely a combination of tyres AND brakes. The cars too heavy.

Had the GT3 not been held up by its slower sister, i think things would have been very different.

The Brakes on the GTR would have to be the achilles heel of the car would they not?

^ i would think not

can out brake the 911 turbo ceramic brakes, (in normal cast iron form) and in this case, the GTR was up against another ceramic brake packer, the Superleggera.

The V-Spec will surely have ceramic as an option, but definitely better brakes from standard. And with less weight, will be more than up to the task.

A fair fight is Superleggera vs. V-Spec, THEN can you compare brakes, etc...

Judging from that, a GTR would beat a normal Gallardo around a track.

so i disagree, the brakes aren't the weak point IF you compare it fairly against it's realistic competitors. Don't forget the Superleggera has 390kw's at around 1350kg. The standard GTR has less power and more weight!! And NO ceramic brakes. Now put THAT into the context of the final results. 400kg's extra weight (that is just an INSANE weight disadvantage), and ~40kw's less, i think the brakes did as well as you could expect considering it's main rival in that race

Great find! The GTR did well.

The other thing to remember is that this is the 1st generation R35 GTR. The 1st generation Gallardo was a significantly slower car compared to the current generation Gallardo let alone the Superleggera. But you have to test current models and the Gallardo is due for replacement soon.

It will be interesting to see what the Spec V ends up like. Lighter with more power and better brakes... YES PLEASE!!!

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
