From what I have read the GTR was the first production car to lap the Nurburing in under 8 minutes. I hate to be a sceptic, though is that possible? Did they change any of the car at all, did they run on standard rubber or slicks.

The timing for this topic being that I just picked up the latest copy of evo Magazine which has an article about making a BMW M3 (the model before the current M3 I think) into a 8 minute car, which involved a fair few mods. I would have though the M3 would be as quick as the GTR in standard trim.

What are your thoughts and facts?

Cheers

You read right, the original r32gtr in some form lap the northern loop under 8 min. and has since been done by numerous other car. Yeah it sound crazy, but it's true as for the most part of that track, it basically a 2 lane wide road with huge arse bump, off cambers crns and sweepers so deep and wide that you can't even see the exit, not to mention, it drizzle most of the time there.

Also see http://www.jwhubbers.nl/ for some more information on cars around the Nurburgring. The website also includes a lot of other Nurburgring information based on his own experiences racing through the Green Hell, including a video from the passenger seat of the Ring Taxi driven by Sabine Schmitz here for those of you who are in love with her (it seems many car nuts on the internet do...).

Also, I found this television commercial for the R33 Skyline during my search for Nurburgring stuff if anyone is interested. Off topic a bit, but interesting.

Oh, the r32 didn't do it, Damn!!

OK let us all get our story straight, the r32 is the better son of the 2, so it should be as of right to claims to that sub 8 loop.

How can I not love my r32. :P:)

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
