Interesting I must say.

I expected the bike to win over everything.

Seems the R35 GTR is better through the corners and bike down the straight.

Each had their pros and cons but you would get that when compairing apples and oranges.

Still the R35 GTR is doing quite well and can stand its ground no matter what they put it up against.

its pretty pointless to compare a purpose built 4wd race car against a v8 family sedan... but they did, its pointless to compare an $80000 US gtr to a $200000 US porsche gt2, and they did that too.... drag racing is pointless... shredding tyres on purpose is pointless, building a 500kw GTR when you can only go 110km/h is pointless....

everythings pointless really, but it got porsche owners going, and holden owners without a leg to stand on, and it would be a nice feeling to have that gtr in your garage...

its all for fun and interesting to compare a top end car to a top end bike.. wonder how it wouldve gone against the desmodeci... spose you would need a nismo edition gtr for that to be in the same league.

given that most bikes can out perform most cars on corners.... and the ducati can out-corner most 4 cyl jap bikes due to its traction control system and controllable low down torque, the gtr must be absolutly neck breaking... (as shown by jeremy on top gear)

cheers

that driving would be awesome with some music . its so good i think it would even be bearable if it was yank and had them blah blahing on and telling us stuff like how the bike only has 1/3 as many cylinders as the car and other facts that are just as useless

A friend of mine recently bought a 1098 Ducati, again it had the with the red frame and all the carbon fibre bits here and there and with the titanium pipes on there god it sounded the business.... saying that i can't justify $37k (inc exhaust) on just 2 wheels lol

car will always hold more corner speed than a bike due to its surface area of each tyre x 4.

i raced bikes & have ridden for over 12yrs & yes they are great BUT an 11sec gtr for some reason feels more impressive than a 10sec bike - thats the truth!

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • 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.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • 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.
