Some cool bloke with a wicked name doing an Epic lap of the Nurburgring in a modified 996 Turbo. The car is simply awesome, the driving is beautiful, enjoy :ermm:

** I ripped this off Dane's Facebook, nice find mate :)

it sure has some rapid acceleration! braking is out of this world good too.

I'm heading there in September for a few days of ring driving. I'm sure I can do better than this hack.... will post vids after... lol.

That is unreal, the sound alone is worth playing the video.

Quick question though - according to the on screen timer, he does an 8:09 or thereabouts. Does that mean the R35 is a full forty seconds faster than this thing around the ring?! If so, wow.

Am i missing something?

You are indeed mate :) This is 8.09 of the Nordschleife and the GP circuit. All quoted ring figures are for the Nordschleife only. This thing takes around 1:20 to do the GP circuit, so you can do the maths!

Steve: More info on it... if you can read German. But my guess is a shlt load of power, bugger all weight, from the sound of it some serious winders, and one half decent steerer!

Cheers mate

Translations needed haha

But yeah i guess the same :) It must be RB20 powered

There's easily more time to be had in that lap.

Just kidding... but I think there was one corner he seemed to brake a smidge early and was a smidge late on the throttle.

Well compared to every other 50+ corners that are on the GP and Nordschleife circuit he was turning it in, and BAM on the throttle!!

That was just awesome!

I love how out the back of the Nordschliefe section after the forest there are a series of Esses. He takes them at 240km/hr!!!

Good to see the 301km/hr down the big straight.

Mental just mental.

When it looks fast on camera, it must be bloody terrifying sitting in the car. Would not like to be a passenger. But I'll drive it. :)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
