Always had a soft spot for these:

10HSV_m_m.jpg

Some of them looked good in their paint schemes, shame most of them today are about 1" off the ground with 24"chromes and big doof doof stereos

They are usually the fake ones.

I know of an original that makes 600hp NA on avgas. :yes: with stock wheels!

Although it galls me to do this (R31's can beat anything....)

DR30 power!

Hooks

cool vid. it's interesting that the old Grp A DR30 race car does Tsukuba in 1.03 on slicks and the current gen bog stock GTR on road tyres does 1 min flat! man times have changed.

The current V35 does it in 60sec? Is that right? Mark and Russ were only scant seconds faster on semis and mega power with lightened car etc... Sounds too fast to me isnt it?

yep, the R35 GTR road car does tsukuba in between 1.00 and 1.02 depending on who's driving. mines have now done a 59 using their own suspension and exhaust and lightly tuned ECU (but still on road tyres!).

now you know why Mark and Russ wanted one when they saw the R35 at Tsukuba back in december. from memory it was doing 1.01 or 1.02s on the day straight out of the box!

So this year at Tsukuba the garages might as well show up with showroom stock V35s huh, kinda takes the joy out of it all really lol

bah. that thing was just cruising around. lets see a std road tyred R35 beat this!

2:17.16

what were the race prepped (free engine management, exhausts, suspension, brake upgrades, semi slicks, cages etc) Evo's running at the 12hr in qualifying? 2:30? on a much smoother, wider and faster Bathurst track than the old DR30 ran on. I doubt a standard R35 on road tyres is going to be any match for those times, let alone the old DR on slicks!

yeah it's crazy how fast they go with fancy computers and the like. will be even quicker once they get a hold of some good size semi slicks.

Yeah, its getting like F1 on the road. Except F1 are removing drivers aids now, as opposed to Nissan and Mitsubishi who give drivers aids... (pun intended)

See that Toyota might be bringing back the Supra? or some sort of Supra-style coupe with lots of pistons and typically, 2WD? Im constantly amazed that a company like Toyota with all their resources has never tried to actually compete with Nissan, Mitsubishi and to a lesser extent Honda when it came to the top-line sportscars (GTR, NSX) or 4WD high performance sedans (Evo).

The GTR has been around since Adam was a boy and they've never tried to counter it with their own version, and it's not like the GTR turned into a Mitsubishi 3000GT which sank like a stone. The GTR is world recognised and forever famous the world over. You can't buy that name-branding publicity yet Toyota's left those laurels on Nissans mantle-piece...

Holy shit thats definatly 110%!

Don't forget the old mans school yard cruizer...one lap with a sound from the god's....nothing quite like a v12 at peek rev's.

Sound from the God's belly rumbling cause he's hungry...

This will satisfy... and it isn't a Snickers though there are traces of nuts

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
