"Fans of the monster car will love this. Four stars" Auto Express

The first Japanese Supercar, Skyline GTR R32, had earth-shattering performance and some unique characteristics. It was only offered for sale in Japan and Britain, yet had a worldwide reputation because of the Gran Turismo computer game. This DVD looks at the original R32, drives it back-to-back with the latest R35, and examines the GT-R that's winning races in the FIA GT1 World Championship. Plus, Gran Turismo creator and gaming legend Kazanori Yamauchi explains why the GT-R won such a special place in the affection of gamers, drifters and street-racers and how his GT Academy is bringing virtual racers into the real world of racetrack competition.

Explore a legend and discover the latest chapter in the history-making story of a ground-breaking car.

More than four decades ago, the Skyline legend was born; 20 years later the seventh generation emerged and changed everything. This was the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, a massively powerful and technologically advanced machine which amazed with its speed, handling and cutting-edge electronics. Initially a cause for excitement only among specialists, the arrival of the Sony PlayStation game Gran Turismo – a simulator offering an incredibly realistic driving experience – brought the GT-R to the mainstream and helped establish the legend. Now, another two decades later, there is a new chapter in this legend – the arrival of the mouth-watering R35. Gone is the Skyline name – the new breed is purely and simply a GT-R.

This absorbing programme traces the story of the GT-R right through to the R35, combining breathtaking track and road action with lingering close-ups, interviews and fact-filled commentary.

We ride in-car at the famous race circuits of Spa and the Nurburgring, travel to Tokyo to see possibly the world’s fastest GT-R, a 1200bhp, 200mph street-legal monster, being pushed to the limit and watch the R35 on the speed limit-free roads of the Isle of Man. The DVD also includes a stunning comparison between the Gran Turismo experience of driving a GT-R on the streets of London and the real-life thrill of an R35 on the roads of the English capital.

The programme includes interviews with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi and Andy Middlehurst, four-times a saloon car champion with Nissan and now a specialist dealer, as they reveal what makes the GT-R such an exceptional driving experience.

We also study the transition of the R35 to the racetrack, following Sumo Power GT Team as it takes on the new-look FIA GT1 World Championship. Team boss Nigel Stepney and drivers Peter Dumbreck and Michael Krumm explain the challenges of transforming the GT-R to the championship’s regulations, as well as the sheer delight of being able to take to the track in the ultimate coupling of power and technology. Plus, you share the experience in a on-board lap of Silverstone filmed from inside the Sumo Power GT machine.

"It's nearly 40 years since Nissan unleashed its original Skyline GT-R, and this DVD charts the supercar's history way back to 1972's PGC10 model. But its main focus is on the late 1980s R32 and modern GT-R R35. There's road and track footage, interviews with drivers and experts, plus informed commentary. It does linger on the custom modifications and video game tie-in, yet fans of the monster car will love this. four stars" Auto Express

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
