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.

after you threw in the leathers, she didn't have much choice but to colour co'ordinate

u got me there, very cheeky lol

P.S. I never had the chance to thank you for donating the leathers to me

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
