Stupid comparison

What were they hoping for, seriously. They have a straight line drag and expect cars with 200hp less to have a chance?

Not entertaining at all.

Get the same cars and find a twisty road - that would be entertaining

What is it with this obsession with straight line acceleration?!?!?! It's driving me nuts, even most of the US guys on NATROC are obsessed with quarter mile times.... who gives a stuff as long as it's quick point to point.... whatever the car.

Typical dumbed-down viewing for the usual septic.

I didnt say the GTR is the best car in the world, did i?

Its a stupid comparison as those cars are all made for different things (only the ZR1 is made for straight line power)

I completely agree, there are more exotic cars than Nissans, but i wouldnt put a Corvette in that category. Just because the vette has a monster size engine and Americans have a fascination with them doesnt make it exotic, unique and desirable maybe, but not exotic.

Exotic;

May the God of all things Nissan smite this devil tongued disbeliever from the face of this forum forever! :):P

its true tho. I must admit.

You have to give the car credit when it deserves it. IMHO - The ZR1 is a pure sports car. I mean it has a stick shift for starters!

As much as i LOVE the awesome GTR, i have to say that the ZR1 is a more refined piece of machinery. I donot want to start a flame at all. Im just saying lets appreciate other cars as well as Skylines.

Personally, sarcastically speaking, if the President of USA gave me a choice to own, between a ZR1, Merc SL range, BMW, Japan, Id gladly choose the ZR1

However tho, on the track it would be different story.

I mean come on, who DOESNT love that awesome supercharged V8 on full song???? Dam!

Peace out!

I would either take the BMW corporation, or the enitre country of Japan... hard to choose between the two really...

last I heard from the almighty Clarkson, that the ZR1 had cheap plastic interior......

if given the choice, I'd take the whole of Japan and BMW M3......or a Bently.....

the c6 zr1 has been tested around the nurburgring lapping a time of 7.22. It's the perfect package in my opinion.

Looks great, fast in a straight line, and fast in corners.

apparently, it's slower in corners....it's only faster overall because of that long long..........LONG uphill straight that it was able to make up all the time it lost around the twisties.

but then again, don't quote me onit because I didn't watch the comaprison vid...............still a pretty and fasts car nontheless

is it just me or is this along the same lines that started the whole nissan/holden thing in the first place... budget built sedan designed to "comfortably" take a family and boat/caravan away on holidays against a pure bred race car, dulled down to get it road legal. "yeh but what do you expect mate, its a twin turbo 4wd coupe against a rwd sedan with a 5l v8 carby", if only id had a dollar for everytime ive heard that response.

the gtr is without a doubt my favourite car ever, but that said... back in 1989, its competition was what... ferrari f40, lamborghini diablo.. porsche 911.. except for the porsche, there was never any contest.

every car has a purpose and is created to suit that purpose... its when crazed fans expect a car to do things that it was never intended for in the first place, and are put on such high pedestals.

the r35 has got the supercars rattled and the holdens cowering again.. thats just how the food chain goes.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
