as much as some lamented the fact the yanks were finally getting the GTR, i'm sure most non-US owners see it as a real positive, increases the market just so much more to allow for these crazy after-market results. Would have been interesting to see how they would have gone had they has the 32-34 R....

seems to be some trash talk in that thread about a TT Lambo? a 1477rwkw lambo????? :ninja:

I wonder what those 2000hp cars would make on a Mainline dyno.

Who knows? In the case of the Omega chart the last 50/100hp of that dyno sheet is the dyno control system getting into trouble and spiking/oscillating, so imagine that the real number might be closer to 1550whp on a Mustang. From the testing we have done you need to multiply most Mustang outputs around 0.75 to get close to what we seen on a Mainline (remember we exported many turbo systems to the US over the years and collected a lot of back to back data). Now convert that back to awkw and you are looking at close to something like 850awkw - which is more than enough for the street one might think!

You have to give it to the Americans, their obsession in turning anything with wheels into a drag Supra is paying some big dividends if that happens to be your bag. How long before there is a Turbo 400 retrofit into the GTR? Dont laugh...yet :)

Indeed, they have conquered ultimate hp, but I'll give them a clap when reliability is equally as good :whistling:

The UGR TT Gallardo has a lot of benefits over a GTR at that kind of power level.

For a start its a much smaller and lighter car

The transmission/engine is inherently stronger

You can use big turbochargers on the engines as they arent limited by engine bay room.

If driven to use the 1500+whp properly, I dont think anything is going to last overly long at that power level. Its just physics :)

Just to follow up on this, they managed to break the world record after a couple of runs @ 35psi, and into a headwind.

Looks like they need some work on traction and it'll go faster again, not bad at all for its maiden voyage down the strip.

As crazy as this thing is I fail to see the point of it.

Just seems like the wrong platform. But each to their own I guess.

+ 1 i dont see the point of making an all round supercar into a one dimensional heavy drag car

but that is the US tuning scene, and AMS knows what it takes to sell parts

what is most impressive is the roll on 60-130 time of 3.13 seconds :worship:

I guess the old adage "why not" is probably reason enough, but further to that I can't see anything wrong with someone setting their sights on one goal, fastest R35 quarter mile in the world isn't exactly a small feat and reflects well on the company in a lot of ways.

You could say the Veyron was a pointless car, it's outgunned by plenty of cheaper and less powerful cars in a track environment, but that doesn't take much away from its ability to delve into the 400kph range. (Someone clarify for me, is it still the fastest car? I remember the SSC Ultimate Aero taking the crown but then Bugatti came out with the Super GT Veyron or something sounding similar).

It's a very powerful Nissan doing cool things, good enough for me. Or is the issue that someone is taking a different direction with the platform than what you see as befitting it? (Snowy/Domino). I'm not trying to antagonise anybody, just curious as to why other 35 owners wouldn't see this as a good thing.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
