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.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
