Great vid!

It was interesting to see his hand positioning around the steering wheel, especially when he needed to change gears mid corner.

Would love a translation of when he passed the R8 with its hazard lights on. Probably started with "get off the racing line you ..."

he was just driving with one eye in the rear view mirror!

I got that too. He made a fairly good getaway down the straight only to almost run off the road at the end

because he wasn't paying attention to what's in front. Apparently one of the GT-R punters comments that "he's going

to kill himself".

He's also using some fairly defensive lines and running wide on the exit.

I get the feeling that there has been some fairly intense rivalry between these two drivers.

Wow, magnificent video! It's obvious that Italians like the GT-R too! (bit of a suprise there)....and it's obvious there is some rivalry with the F430 Scuderia guy too!. Videos like this really put into perspective just how incredible the GT-R is, not only does the F430 Scuderia weigh alot less, it's a track special with Carbon Ceramic brakes...and it was under brakes the Gt-R was closing in!.

Both cars are awsome though, I'd love to have both!.. There will be times you want the GT-R's crushing ability, there will be times you want the Ferrari's glamour and engine/exhaust note!

I picked up some but sounded like "why doesn't this idiot get out of the way"

Kujotk, being of Italian background, I can translate for you.

When he went past the guy in the Audi R8 he literally said "have a look at this!"..obviously said in such a way that suggests "have a look at this idiot"

    • I'm confirming the "2 way" Nismos can be converted to 1.5's very easily as you already described. It's well detailed in the manual. I can scan mine if you need, I think I still have it laying around somewhere. 
    • Well, its worth noting that 450+ is probably enough to get you to church on time each Sunday already..... You mentioned cams, did you upgrade the valve springs as well? Factory ones will be well past their use case by now. And yes, the hydraulic lifters are likely to limit your usable rpms and AFAIK you need a (now rare and expensive) head swap to rb26 or even better rb25neo for that (to retain VCT) I don't think 4"/3.5" should be a restriction. What about the intake, do you have an upsized intercooler and what is the throttle body?
    • I also second realdash. I have it on my head unit as a secondary cluster talking canbus with my ecu. Works great. 
    • Something like this -  You can buy the arms in different lengths too. The suction cup goes to the windscreen. 
    • I do have an adjustable exhaust cam gear but I always presumed these only lead to minor changes. I'll play around with it next week and report back. Also wouldn't advancing, not retarding shift that power down lower?  We played around with VCT last year and it made more power with it on until redline. I had read somewhere that this is often the case with short runner intakes like I'm running but I'll revisit this after adjusting my exhaust cam.  I have a 4" downpipe and 3.5" line with two open dumps. I'm thinking back pressure would only start to be an issue at 35+ psi. I often hear people state things like "oh my turbo really only wakes up past 30psi" which goes against everything I know about centrifugal compressors. Is there any actual logic to this?  Thanks for the help dose.
