Of course its that much quicker, the MY11 has the latest generation Dunlop Series II runflat on it, which is - seconds - quicker anywhere than the original Bridgestone the MY09/10 came with. Thats a big part of the cars speed difference, obviously the tweaks all play a part, but grip is king :)

A bit will come from the geometry changes too. Not much has been made of it in the wider world so far but the extra castor in the 2011 would be of significant benefit in the tighter sections of that track. It would be a fair bit less push under-steery I would think.

Is there a vid of it someone cast post please.

faster than a veyron, caterham and zonda f convertible.

.1sec slower than a noble m600

the original GTR time was on a speed limited to 180 JDM spec

cant make a comparison unfortunately

but yep, as most people are saying, the new tyres are noticeably grippier

You're thinking of the first GTR test on Aussie top Gear. The Pommy version 09 GTR wasn't speed limited.

Not much understeer there, looks like its superby driven as well :worship:

Wow such a great testimony to what the GT-R is all about SETTING THE FKN BENCHMARK!!! Amazingly quick I didnt expect it ahead of the Zonda/Veyron thats insane!

I really want to know what the Aventador is going to do round that track :)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
