it always comes down to the GTR vs Lambo.

Seems the GTR was having trouble keeping up with the porka on the straight.

No where near close to keeping up with the lambo on the straight.

seems to be cornering faster than everyone else which is awesome.

The problems I have with that vid is

1. Lambo suddenly running wide on the last lap - how convenient

2. Lambo suddenly NOT being able to keep up on the main straight - what gives??

I'll have to say, that win was NOT convincing at all.

I agree it looked a bit suss at the end, but keep in mind the GTR did start last and had to make up ground to get close at the end. And the fact that it does well, even if its slower in a straight line compared to a 470kw V12 I think is great. Plus the lambo is a $600k car vs $150k odd so really it isnt like its racing a sales competitor.

Would be good if the vid had subtitles or something tho

quoting a translation:

A few things that should be cleared to those who dont speak japanese

1. LP640 ran out of gas at the last corner. probably because the race shouldve ended 1lap earlier, but the editor seeing a good race between LP640/GTR and 911/Gallardo extened the battle 1lap.

2.Exige took off too early, but he was let off the hook cause of the power diff

3. 911 was complaining about lack of grip exiting the corners.May have to do with the weight distribution and the GT-R having a better 4wd system.

What they NEED to do is to have a GTR vs LP640 race only. That way, none of the slower cars will be an excuse. It's most unsatisfying seeing the lambo lose just because its out of fuel and because the judges decided to extend it by one lap.

thanks for the traslation btw.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
