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.

    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
