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

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

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
