Hot off The press! Nissan have issued a press release that yesterday a JDM GT-R 09MY (Series 2) with Ray's alloy wheels(as per V-Spec) and Dunlop tyres has set a Nurbugring lap record of 7min 27.56 secs. Apparently the track was quite dusty (and sandy!) and Mizuno is contemplating a second attempt for tommorow. There is no doubt that this is an astounding time...but I thought the Corvette ZR-1 did a 7.26min, so I'm not sure how this is a lap record. If they shave another 2 secs off that, that would be something!

It's because there is some question marks to their lap time. From what I have read is that there are rumors that the ZR-1 was running a trick suspension setup that are not found on the standard road car and I don't beleive that they have been back again for another test. Maybe with Nissan getting back out there and pulling fast lap times may bring them out

Nissan's goal was to beat the the 911 and they did that and then Porsche jumped up and down questioning the lap times. From what I've read Porrsche guys were present for the 7:27 laptime

well, that's Porsche beat.............how about declare war on the Fezzas and climb over that Enzo in the 7:25 spot.

I'll leave the rest for the "Ultra hardcore GTR with stripped out interior and roll cage, carbon fibred panel etc etc" to beat. I have every confidence that Nissan can kick that Viper's ass.

Haha great!

As much class and standing that comes with owning a ferrari or porsche, they would have to feel small when their track days and traffic lights are accompanied with the odd R35 :)

All hail GTR and Nissan Engineering.

I wonder what that lap felt like to drive lol

Hats off to Nissan, shame they couldnt make the thing look as good as the cars its quicker then :)

Congrats to Nissan, they have really produced something special.

The R35 is so aggressive, they really achieved the look they were after, and I think it works.

Many of my mates drive porsche, none of them look that great to me. Lambos though, damn they are sexy.

Pity for them this costs less than half the price and still manages to humble them. Try asking them what an extra 150-300k buys you!

I've just read on a German forum that Porsche brought a VLN 911 GT3 RSR to the track on the same day (15/04) that Nissan tried to run their record lap.

It seems that their intention was to set the absolute Nurburgring record i.e. to break 6:55. Their previous best was 7:03 but something went dramatically wrong this time (tire failure) and the car exited the track pretty violently, moving a whole lot of sand onto the track while doing so.

Hence the 7:27.56 being run so late in the day and with sh*t all over the track at that sector.

The weather is just clearing up after raining for the past two days. There will be 2 or 3 clear days and then more predicted rain for the rest of the month.

If a re-run and Spec-V run doesn't happen in the next few days, it probably won't happen this year.

      Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?

      Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

      Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.

      The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.

      Belt flex under throttle

      For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
