Gt-r Quarter Mile Times

[Shinrai]

I noticed a thread started about quarter mile times for a standard R35 GT-R...

So, curiousity got me thinking what would be the best quarter mile time achieved for each of the models in standard, factory specification. I believe that the R34 can achieve high 12 second times running on standard equipment. If anyone can add quicker times than those listed below, please feel free to post these with supporting evidence.

R32 GT-R: 13.7s

R33 GT-R: 13.8s

R34 GT-R: 12.98s

R35 GT-R: 11.89s

my car was the test car for HPI and appeared on the cover of the GTR special no.1...bog stock it ran 12.9.

EDIT: sorry it actually had a HKS catback exhaust and M's pod filters fitted. Everything else was standard.

The quarter mile times I have seen vary on the internet and published magazines.

Just from memory I remember seeing...

R32 GTR: 13.7 secs (Wheels Magazine 1992) to 12.8 secs

R33 GTR: 13.8 secs

R34 GTR: 12.9 secs and 12.7 secs for the V-Spec II N1 Version (Wheels Magazine 2002).

1 second shaved off from the revised RB26 that the R34 has... Interesting.

That and from memory, the R34 GTR is lighter in weight + a bit more torque.

Is that an R32 that you are talking about? It is quite interesting that 13.7 is mentioned as the quarter mile achievable for the earlier revision of the RB26 engine but you mention that 12.9 was achieved. I guess it depends on the driver. I guess a stock R33 could achieve a very similar time although with a slightly heavier weight it might be a fraction of a second slower

That and from memory, the R34 GTR is lighter in weight + a bit more torque.

Oh yes, I am aware of those benefits too. I agree that would add to the quicker time.

^^Also depending on the test drivers rolling start or launch at a high RPM and reaction time.

All minor things but it all adds up.

Impressive numbers but i assume they test with great drivers and dump that clutch hard on redline; not the way we would treat our cars....well at least i wouldnt.

I know the r34 gtr's new turbines produce better low end torque to help with the launch resulting in the better time.

you'll find its more to do with some other interesting factors...

fuel, tyres, gearbox etc etc.

Back in what, 1992, a RB26 wouldn't make the power it would today, nor the speed (r34 gearing is different)

You would need to put a R32, R33 & R34 together TODAY, and test. That would be more accurate.

Also did motor test on a drag strip? Were the others tested on a drag strip?

A R34 certainly isn't lighter

True about the gearing in the R34 GTR.

Was not too sure where Wheels magazine tested the car, I will have to read the article again.

The quarter mile times I posted are from a mix media, internet and magazines.

Publish articles are more solid prof then from an internet website, unless its an official website of some sort... To me it is just an overall idea of how fast the cars are.

I notice when Wheels Mag redo a segment on the R32 GTR, they just put the 13.7 secs (Claimed back in 1992) seem like they don't not bother testing it as it has been done...

Just from doing a bit of reading, the R32 GTR weights about 1430 kg, the R34 GTR is about 1540 kg and the R33 GTR (websites have said) 1750 kg...

So in relation to the R34 GTR being lighter then the R33 GTR.

Any clarification for the weight in's of the cars would be welcome...

There is no way that a R33 weighs 1750kg... Which websites are incorrectly stating that?

R33 GT-R is 1530kg and the V-Spec version is 1540kg. So the the R33 and R34 are almost identical in weight bearing precedence to the fact that it is the superior components on the R34 that results in the better performance.

[some_cs_student]

As above the R33 GTR weights 10kg lighter than the R34, but 50kg heavier than an R32, look at a website with real specs, there is no way the R33 added a couple hundred kilograms...

R33, 1530kg (non Vspec):

R32, 1480kg (non Vspec):

http://www.jbskyline.net/R32/GTR/Specs/

Do the math

But that was stated as the V-Spec Version... I remember V-Spec versions of the R32 and R33 GTR's were a bit heavier.

It also does mention 1530kg.

Anyway, going by some_cs_student site and the my one looks like it is 1530kg (Non V-Spec).

So correction to my 2nd post in this thread, the R33 GTR is lighter then the R34 GTR.

r32line, we can see the clear winner there LOL!

Super Drager, that was a good video.

True... the 0-100km/h times its even more impressive. 4.8secs... the competition are in 6/7sec bracket, haha.

Hah! Yeah for sure.

Was that scan from an old magazine article?

[iplen]

I think it is a bit unfortunate that with the R35 having been released it has made it seem that the RB series cars are a bit sluggish.. But when you look through the current wheel/motor, have a look at performance time for some of the quick cars that are in there...

XR6T: 13.5

SS: 13.4

CLUBBIE: 13.5

EVO X: 13.9

RS6:12.1

M3 (AUTO): 12.9

CLS63 AMG: 12.8

M3 (MAN) 13.2

911 CARRERA S: 12.6

Nissan claims Wheels mag

R32 13.7

R33 13.5

R34 13.8

Wheels mag

R33 12.7

R34 13.1

Article in previous post

R32 13.1

I was pretty sure one of the aussie mags got a 12.9 out of the R32, but I could not find the article, but Wheels first test of an Aussi R32 is 13.7,

[Shinrai]

It is interesting that the fastest time mentioned here for the R33 GT-R is quicker than the fastest R32 GT-R time. I would have thought with the slightly lighter body weight that the R32 would have had the advantage.

Either way they are all great cars.

By the way, I'd love a R35... Just might need to wait a few years for them to come down in price.
