Not really pointless IMO as it shows how much a step forward in performance from the factory the R35 is, by comparing it to well regarded and tuned examples of former models

I've watched the DVD and at the end tsuchiya makes the remark that the r35 was faster in the corners, just the long straight was what kept the tuned cars in front

Best Motoring GTR Loaded DVD.

I got it and watched that race and it was nuts.

R32 GTR 400PS

R33 GTR 600PS (2.8lt stroker kit)

R34 GTR 600PS

R35 GTR Stock

At first I thought it was abit unfair to the R35 as all the other GTR's were tuned, but judging from the finish times, it came 3rd and the times were very close, all within a difference of seconds.

As for the R32 GTR, with only having 400PS, it still kept up very well and kept the race tight.

As keiichi Tsuchiya was saying, the tyres were starting to wear down and was slipping / lossing traction, which I believe due to the weight of the car and every setting set to R Mode, it gave the car a good thrashing.

Just goes to show how a stock R35 GTR can stand its ground up against highly tuned GTR's and only afew seconds slower is very impressive.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
