![]() ![]() Gotta hand it to those koho cars.(PR cars)Īlthough it was something that manufacturers had been doing since the birth of BM, I heard things got a little out of hand when Nissan ahem factory modified ahem their R33 GT-R's to run circles around NSX-R for their debut race at Tsukuba (I believe this is the vid mike2nd posted on 3si before) This is another irony that JDM automotive pablisher is trying to hide. Today, tuned R32 GTRs are still holding best quater mile time and most circuit best lap time among other R33/R34. VR4/GTO TT owners tend to own the car with reason besides performance i.e styling, whereas, GTR owners own the car for easy gain ultra high performance. I have lived close to SKYLINE GTR and their owners as well as VR4/GTO TT. Most BM test cars are disactivated speed/rev limiter and they have no cats. This fact had the R33 GTR Test car fully manufacture option armed at BM test to catch up NSX or have extra advantage from Supra/GTO. However, when R33 GTR Debut, she was not a fantastic car to succeed GTR legend that those publisher wanted to believe. In deed, R32 GTR established a new GTR legend until NSX-R was released in 1995 in the street scene and JDM N1 Taikyo Rounds till 2000. Many JDM automotive magazine/dvd publishers want to believe GTR is the fastest car in the market. Although it's tough to say that GTO is faster than the other, they seem to be at least comparable, even considering all that factory modifying conspiracy. (hopefully it wasn't the koho car with flames shooting out from its exhaust :suspect: ) Then he proceeded to tell the media how he hates EVERYTHING on teh GTOīack to the topic of GT-R vs GTO, I think they're pretty evenly matched cars. I also read that on the first issue that featured GTO (white 1st gen with tiny brakes), gan-san did a time attack with a R32 GT-R at Sports Land Sugo and GTO marked a faster lap time on that particular event. I looked up a bit regarding this topic from japanese websites before and I have to agree with you.Īlthough it was something that manufacturers had been doing since the birth of BM, I heard things got a little out of hand when Nissan *ahem* factory modified *ahem* their R33 GT-R's to run circles around NSX-R for their debut race at Tsukuba :lol2: (I believe this is the vid mike2nd posted on 3si before) They are not GTRs.Ĭlick to expand.Gotta hand it to those koho cars. Other Skylines are R32 M-spec/ and R33 M-spec. It is probably obvoius that GTR would out perform GTO if they started from the same line. ![]() R32 GTR V-spec had oil pressure problem in the 8 lap race and she started from the last grip and finish 3rd. That GTO's aligment spec was different from OE spec as well. Also, the GTO in the clip was tweeked alignment spec to fit the Tsukuba circuit, the track used in the clip. driver in the GTO commented after his 8 lap run that his brake wouldin't hold if he would have to run 9th lap. That is what automotive video/dvd magazine meant for to sell a new car. Is BM biased? yes, it is in certain extent. Year 1993 is the release year of 80 supra and 2G GTO TT in Japan, Best Motoring was, off cource, used to promote those two cars by manufactures. ![]() This means R32GTR V-spec ran the fastest time in quarter mile among others. Starting grids are positioned in the slowest quarter mile time car to the 1st grid and the fastest car to the last grid. However, SKYLINEs may not be able to catch up VR4/GTO TTs in corner exiting speed.Īgain, the Best Motoring is not a practical source to determine which car is faster. Not many GTO TT caught up with SKYLINE GTRs in the drag strip. In general, it's hard for a VR4/GTO TT to catch up GTO in straight speed in quater mile. I have own SKYLINE GTR and VR4s for a decade. Therefore, Best Motoring can not be a final determination to say which car is faster than the other. Attesa-ETS setting migh be tweeked for the test. R32/R33 GTR V-spec surely equiped with NISMO external oil cooler (according to what BM drivers said in the video). (Those items are over $10,000 upgrade at purchase) GTO MR in the most BM video equiped with Hybrid LSD, AP6 pot, possibly a set of 13G. Best Motoring drivers often complained that those test cars were manufacture upgraded before the test, so that a new test car could beat the other manufacture's older cars when a new car was debut. ![]()
