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).

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. :D

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.

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

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 :down:

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.

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):

Do the math :thumbsup:

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.

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,

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. :P

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
