hmm my exchange program claims that 3792lbs (the officle claim) are 1720kg...
now I have wrote 1720kg here in the datasheet and it transfers it into
3784lbs... not a big different but one calculation program is wrong :)
Nissan GT-R is a legend. Based on the best import tuner Nissan Skyline GT-r,
this supercar is probably the best on track and road. Not bad on speed either.
Lamborghini fans, be afraid.
I'v deleted the Nuburgring times for now, i want some hard proof, not some wild
claims.
One of the Nissan engineers even said it probably wouldn't get under 7:44.
the video CLEARLY shows a INCOMPLETE lap by 6seconds...
at video time 1:01min the GT-R pass the pont were later the clock stops... at
1:07min the GT-R pass the point were the laptime clock starts... 6seconds cut
off...7:38.5min +6seconds = 7:44.5min...means slower as the Turbo and the
Z06..end off message
Where's the reference for 7:35? We need a direct link to some major car test not
the internet adress of Italian car blog "Autoblog.it". "Autoblog.it" is not a
reference. I can't see anything about GTR-R's Nordschleife lap time in
Autoblog.it front page. And I don't quite believe that this car is able to
achieve 7:35. If, however, it is then people who build Porsches and Ferraris are
idiots with no idea of how to build a sports car.
try this link 7:38 and the race conditions was not really good so it maybe can
do
faster.http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/auto_-_produkte/hxcms_article_507

SO guys , since the 7:38 time keeps being added. What should i do.
It's clear it's a pre production model and unknown if it's the same as the
actual production car.
So should i leave the time standing, or should i delete it?
Also when i played the video in sync with the Z06 video from sport auto you
could also clearly see that the GT-R outran the Z06 on the straights. Last i
checked 480hp and 1750kg couldn't do that.
A lot of other cars are timed the way the GT-R is timed here.
What evidence is there that Porsche and GM times a "complete" lap? Do they have
an in-car video to prove that? No.
If Nissan released this video to the public then it must mean that it is an
industry-accepted timing method, otherwise they would get hounded on by Porsche
and what not.
Also, look at the Radical SR8 video on youtube. If you use the timer on the
video and start and stop timing at the exact same places where the GT-R is
timed, you see that the Radical SR8's time is 6:55 WITHOUT the final pit
straight.
Nissan are dirty cheaters. All manufacturers rent the track and do full laps.
Nissan had the track rented for the day, so no need to do "public-day style
timing". 6 seconds cheat there.
MORE: Nissan used hand-cut slicks, according to this: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17066
Delete this dirty claim!
The time is cheated and it is officle now!!!!!
GTR chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno told PistonHeads that his baby had covered
over 3000 miles at the Nordschleife and avoided other circuits as they were
deemed 'too easy'.
Nissan's original target was to beat the 911 Turbo at the 'ring but they ended
up worrying the Porsche Carrera GT.
They didn't beat the GT's 7min 32sec lap time, but got a 7.38 in semi-wet
conditions.
'We used cut slick tyres' said Mizuno.
'I was not interested in full slick times as this bears no resemblance to a road
tyre. 1.2G of force was being pulled in wet and over 2 in dry'.
Cut slicks is miles away from a road legal tire and explains everything.. remove
the time
