hi guys,

this is impressive - an r35gtr with an exhaust & retune is quicker than a current spec Gsxr1000.

I used to race bikes & I can see that the rider knows how to ride so he is really pushing his bike:

I find this incredible as the bike has 1:1 power to weight ratio - all the more kudo's to the mighty r35gtr!!!

Enjoy :)

should be able to take down a litre bike from rest with a full bolt on r35 and good lc traction

but roll on comparisons don't really make sense in aus due to our speed limits and what you stand to lose if/when get caught, nor can we type our own disclaimer filmed in mexico

It must be mentioned that the guy on the bike has got no stick and to make a GTR go fast from 60ks takes no skill whatsoever.

Put me up against a GTR on my R1 and it'll be close to 120 then I'll stomp it to 250ish then The GTR will start to catch me once we pass ~260-270kph and I'll hit a wall at ~290 where as the GTR will be leaving me at ~30kph and I won't see it again till it gets bored and slows down.

I doubt that race hit 250 so the gixxer should have been comfortably in front but I have a feeling the dude in shorts and a tshirt hasn't got much of a clue.

What yr model is your r1?

Yrs ago I had a 99r1 with work done it, making 145rwhp...I ran that against my r32gtr which had 365awkw and I couldn't get away from it on the bike and we were rolling from about 80km to way over 200kmh.

On that old dinosaur I got it up to 309kmh but that was it...I wouldn't accelerate past that point.

It is dark but u when u get a clear view of the bikes headlight, u know the race is over :)

Riding a bike on roll on is like a car, no real art other than change just under the limiter.

It is going to be subjective at the end of the day Which is quicker but for those who ride bikes and understand howbfast they are, it is phenominal to see a near stock gtr play in the same field.

it's dark, you can barely see anything and all you can hear is the gtr. I do not know how you can tell if the rider knows how to ride the bike.

I've been riding for 16 years and am yet to meet a single person who rides in shorts and a tshirt who knows how to bang.

Precisely. 365awkw is somewhere in the vicinity of 600hp. That's 70 more than an R35 and in a car which is some 300+kg lighter than an R35.

A newish Gixxer 1000 should school a GTR from 60-250ish. From there the R35 stomps the gixxer.

Well, actually it's not going to be subjective.

2011 GTR - 0-200 in ~11.1 seconds - http://www.germancarforum.com/community/threads/first-performance-test-2011-nissan-gt-r.36376/

2006 Gixxer 1000 - ~5.5 seconds - http://www.firstpost.com/topic/organization/suzuki-motor-gsxr-1000-k6-0-250-kmh-acceleration-test-gopro-hd-video-4VrYvYUoC08-85101-9.html

That's objective.

And it's possible to miss a gear on the bike, not so in a GTR, meaning you need some semblance of skill to do it.

Also -

- the GTR got the jump and still got spanked in the first race. Edited by Cowboy1600

I cant see the link to that gixxer? The best 0-200 I could find on the gsxr was 7.5sec.

Either that gtr had more work done to it or maybe the bike was a 750 or 600?

My last bike was in fact a k6 with arata titanium full system and power commander - farken monster made 173.5rwhp! I could pick up the front eheel in 4th gear at 240kph...man i miss my bikes.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
