Hey guys, found this on the net today, basically 19 minutes of In Car footage of the R32 Calsonic Skyline GTR at Fuji Speedway in the wet!

It's pretty good to see how he crushes the field from the back of the grid in the rolling start.

Anyways, enjoy!

GTR PRON

yeah I was pretty wrapped to find it, i've seen the ol JGTC videos before but never a full 18 minutes of GTR in car with no commentary or some video that some douche has dubbed over with a crappy remix of some crappy track. I'll try and find some more.

They used old school (well duh) crash boxes.

Using an older shift pattern widely used in old porkas, something about first not being needed often on circuits so it was put somewhere out of the way.

Reverse is where we have first

first is where we have second

second is our third

third is our fourth

fourth is our fifth

fifth is below our fifth or where a getrag has sixth

they had different ratio boxes/diffs for different tracks, you can see an example of this in the video of tsuchia driving his old Taisan gtr at tsukuba after NISMO omori restored it. It's a good video, his comments are worth listening to aswel he says how good the car feels, how responsive and sharp and then he goes on to do something like a 60 second lap pretty much straightaway. From memory that taisan gtr has the setup from Fuji in it still.

If anyone has more vids like the one linked in the first post please put them up :P

Some more;

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

Yeah 94 had an awesome field!!!

Definatly a different vid mate, there's a line where he is about to get in it and turns to the Nismo mechanic who just restored the car "can i go full throttle in this car?" without even taking a breath the mechanic replies "yes." with this smile he's trying to hide from the superstar driver. Then they start the car and he drives off, such an awesome video.

I cant believe a team actually thought the lambo would be a decent race car hahaha

Here's some pics ive taken of that era cars while in Japan;

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

It definatly sounds like straight cut gears in at least first and second :(

There's a C110 above for a bit of inspiration :D SO pissed i dont have room for one here

It makes you wonder where are they all now?

Of course the NISMO cars are all in nismos hands but what about the others?!

I was told a funny story in 2006, a person I know was making frequent trips to japan to buy parts, import them and then sell here, while doing the rounds at a workshop they asked politely if they could see what second hand parts the place had. After looking through and picking up all the good bits they opened a small door at the back of the room being used to stash parts which was partly hidden by all the stuff in the room. Went outside and up some stairs, there was an r32 group a gtr under a makeshift carport at the end of the ramp to the roof they havnt used in literally years. Completely filthy but complete as raced last. Went inside and asked the owner how much to sell it. He had forgotten he owned it! And no, wouldn't sell!

yeah there would be quite a few of thise little surprises over there. I always wanted to know what happened to the 4 of these that were built:

MAZDA FAMILIA SPORT 4 1989 JAPANESE RALLY PRON

80d1093786390-mazda-familia-sport-4-sport4.jpg

75d1093785591-mazda-familia-sport-4-1005_2.jpg

You would think that at least one would be in the Mazda Museum (although i've never been there to confirm this) or would at least be in the hands of mazda in the back of some factory somewhere gathering dust. But what of the others? There was 2 black, 1 silver and one red one built, only reason I know this is because i've seen a pic of all 4 of them together somewhere before. Bugger all info on the net about them.

Anyway, I suppose I should be posting on topic in my own thread lol, but if anyone has other pics of this put em up as it was pretty hard core!

  • 3 weeks later...

OK so I found another sweet video.

This one is the late great Ayrton Senna belting the crap out of the brand new (at the time) Honda NSX-R. Check out his mid corner pedal work! I've never seen anyone do that before maybe someone here can answer the reasoning for doing it?

Anyway, here's the video

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
