This GT-R - the R35 - throws even former GT-Rs into the weeds via an all-new 3.8-litre bi-turbo V6 providing 480 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.

AWW :)

But yay for the GTR's overall and how good Nissan has done for the r35. Now the SpecV needs fastest accelerating production two-seater car :)

Sounds legit to me. Whilst the Italian version of the Guinness Book of World Records sounds a bit odd...I suspect it's only the type of content that differentiates the Italian edition from another edition and not the records themselves. Perhaps they have more car related records in the Italian edition? Afterall, you can't fit every world record into one book.

Anyway, the record itself sounds correct. Even though there are faster accelerating cars, I can't think of any that are four seater. Only the Japanese put 4 seats into vehicles that should have 2 haha. I suspect the lap of the Nurburgring was mentioned on the plaque because this might be their criteria for a legitimately street-legal production car; they are just stating/proving that it can be driven on a public road and it is not simply a racing car with 4 seats.

You talking about the N-Ring time or the Guinness World Record Certificate?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nürburgring_lap_times

Wikipedia is not to be taken as solid evidance... The Motor Report does reports on many cars but still...

Nissan Motors conducted the test.

Published (Magazines) figures would be more believable...

I'm not seeing the relevance? What does Wikipedia have to do with this?

It was in relation to the OP's question.

The article by TMR that D-Spec posted up was saying that the R35 GTR set the record for the fastest 4 seater production car and the article mentioned the N-Ring time it did.

I believe D-Spec was probably also questioning the N-Ring time.

It was for his reference...

This records stuff all seems a bit iffy to me.

I'd like to see indendent tests done by someone other than the manufacturer.

Hardthough coz then the manfuacturer could say it's not our fault that you can't drive our car fast.

Didn't Nissan and Porsche have a bit of whinge about that stuff?

Oh I get you now. You were asking if his comment was in reference to faster 0-60 times or faster Nurburgring laps. Well as pointed out in my post, I think the only thing the Nurburgring lap had to do with it was criteria for being a street-legal production car. Otherwise they would have put the lap time on the plaque too instead of just stating that it completed a lap.

With Guinness World Records there has to be a Guinness representative/supervisor present at an event for it to be officially recorded, so unless Nissan paid them off or pulled off some trickery I still say it's legit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
