so what's the story now. i heard from someone nissan did cheat and used race/semi slicks??? :)

well i think its a conspiracy that porsche accused Nissan.

ever since the R35 GT-R has hit the tarmacs, porsche has just windged.

in my perspective, why wouldnt they?... Nissan generally manufacturing passanger vehicles for the middle class, like TIIDA & Pulsar...

and porsche had been making expensive/exotic or high end sports cars for nearly 80 years.

then one day BANG, nissan throws a curved ball...with the new R35 GT-R into the ring, beating all the top guns in european exotics, on both nurburgring and acceration times.

this car being heavier than thier 911 turbo, but more swift...they are really baffled.

if you were porsche, wouldnt you be upset?!

anyhow porsche started this conspiracy agsint the GT-R...and saying that they cheated. for them being nosey, porsche motors had purchased thier own R35 GT-R and took it around the NUR... they recon they couldnt get the times of 7:29mins. their test car tested at 7:54mins.

well here are 2 intresting articles/links of nissan Defending the GT-R lap times against porsche's accusation.

at the end of the day as i said....

porsche is just being a sore loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and plus, wait till the R35 GT-R Spec V or V-spec comes out

being around 100kg lighter with plenty more power.........

the engineers say that it would improve track time even more, if thats the case, watch porsche cry about something else.

I find this hard to believe really (that some legal system would resolve any such issue) - on what legal basis would they challenge Nissan? At the end of the day they are just performance claims by a manufacturer - kind of hard to prove anything either way isnt it?

LOL - the GTR has been beating porsches for a lot longer than that! (not just the R35) started with the first GTR - badged as a prince :D

well im not certain about that.

i think your wrong

Prince released the "Skyline" but never released the "GT-R" until it got sold out to Datsun.

here is what is said,

The first Skyline GT-R, known by the internal Nissan designation PGC10, was released in February 4, 1969. It was available originally as a four-door sedan after a public debut at the 15th annual Tokyo Motor Show. It was advertised alongside the Nissan R380A racecar to showcase its racing heraldry

i dont recall them beating porsches..

any how... im nearly certain that it is said by editors that Nissan had its eye on the porsches prformance during the release of the R34 GT-R NUR spec.

but the NUR spec was slower than the 911 turbo.

but this day they had triumphed with the r35....

so i think ur incorrect about nissan beating porsches for donkeys years...............

well i think its a conspiracy that porsche accused Nissan.

sure would.

i think that there is nothing wrong with going to a club and just simply enjoying a nice glass of cranberry juice on the rocks..

it is not only full of great vitamins and health benefits but it also doesn't get you drunk so you can boogey on down for longer!

have your say!

can anyone tell me what time the original r32 gtr posted at the nurburgring??? wasnt it the first car into the 8minute mark (production car)

Oh and my opinion about the slicks, well....even if they used slicks wouldnt that only be a 10second advantage?? so the 7.54 porsche tested would be 7.44?

Still a long way off the 7.29...........ummmm then again, how much of an advantage are slicks or semi-slicks over a track like the ring??

yes your right

the R32 GT-R did 8:22sec driven by Motoharu Kurosawa

the R33 GT-R did 8:01sec driven by Dirk Schoysmans

but the R34 was not officially tested i dont think.

who knows.....porsche is just a windger.

theres video proven that it did it in 7:29sec.

thanks for the clarification man.......soooooo how hard is it to believe that the new gtr with more power and better chassi could take 30seconds off the record.

My god porsche is really pushing the bitching rights!!! they have nothing to prove, they make a great car

Always thought the R33 GTR was the first "production car" to break 8 minutes with a 7.59.

Thats something strange that the r32 was slower than the 33........ummmm my though would be that the lighter 32 would post a faster time; just shows what some better technology can do huh!

infact it was the 33 gtr vspec that broke 8 minutes.. but i read in a wheels magazine that the 1st production car to break 8 minutes was infact the jaguar xj220. haven't been able to find any confirmation online though.

Another interesting article on the GT-R v GT2 @ the Ring

http://magazines.drivers-republic.com/driv...etruth030/?fm=2

Basically, they managed to get hold of a GT-R & GT2 and belt them around Nurburgring for comparison.

Another non-nissan drive that laps 7:50+. Far from the 7:29 on so called "stock" car?

It's great that Nissan's pushing the boundaries, but false claims doesn't help anyone.

I know, right! People always look at me weird, but in the end my electric boogaloo would have suffered on alcohol :(

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
