Was at a track day bout 5 years ago...was a purple 33GTR , fairly well modded for the street and a Ex perkins supercar..VR...It shat all over the 33...Its a prepped race car of course it will...They wouldnt let them on the track at the same time...

Seeing as this has been dragged back up I had a look at some numbers.

V8 Super Car

620 - 650 BHP

460 ft/lbs

1355 KG

Mines R34 GTR

580 - 600 BHP

432 ft/lbs

1540 KG *

* I couldn't find a proper weight value for the Mines GTR, so I used the numbers from the N1 R34 GTR Nur VSpec II because the Mines GTR doesn't really seem to have much in the way of weight saving parts beyond some carbon fibre aero parts.

So, while I'd love for the GTR to be faster, there's really no way. Unless maybe it was pissing down with rain and they were both on the same race tyre -- even then it's a long shot.

i asked this question before i found out about the SuperGT cars, i think it would be more fair to compare the V8 supercars to them instead of tuning companies like Mines, MCR, HKS, etc.

also tsuchiya said the Mine's car has the acceleration of a GT500 class car

However you guys are talking about then and now. Recently in a wheels/motor mag, can't remember it's at home, Skaife drove the same 32R around bathurst that he drove in the 90's that now belongs to a collector. And, it was only 3 seconds slower than what the V8 supercars of TODAY manage during quallifying/shootouts. My money is on the GTR of today with the same amount of money put into it as a V8 supercar of today. Enough said.

Besides, I am yet to see any GTR get close to 298kph down conrod... :D

The R32 GTR's were getting close to 290km/h down conrod straight in 1992...

Look at it this way - the V8 supercars are the same as GTR's in Japan's current super GT series. Nothing is the same between the road going version and the race version other than the roof, and that has been proven.

A current spec V8 supercar would smash something like the road going Mine's R34 GTR.

However if you put a current spec V8 supercar up against a current spec Super GT GTR then we would have an interesting battle. Both V8's, both RWD, roughly the same HP, etc.

Anyone heard of FARTs, came across an article in one of the ZOOM mags

Federation Against Rotaries and Turbo's

haha apparently was a bunch some time ago that werent too happy seeing they're v8's getting mopped up by Nissan's and Mazda's

and yeh the V8 supercar would win i think, because its a dedicated race car, the Mine's R34 GTR isnt.

no doubt a fully blown race spec R34 GTR would destroy any fully blown race spec falcodore.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
