Re: The World Challenge GT Nissan Skyline GT-R Story
so hows this thing holding up against porsches and corvettes? I know it can prolly hang with them or outaccelarate out of a stopped position but how about them corners? What about durability? I was watching an old best motoring episode and one of the japanese team owners that participates in the 24 hour endurance races in japan was talking about how their r34 gtr is faster than their porsche gt3, but the porche lasts the entire race while the skyline broke down and had to be fixed. He was also mentioning something liek the driveshafts for the porche being rated for 30hrs of hard use while the skyline ones arent and on and on.

Re: The World Challenge GT Nissan Skyline GT-R Story
i still dont understand how a R34 GTR can only make 150 at the wheels.
The TT I6 is almost 300 stock at the crank, and well over 200. I have a friend here, who has a stock RB26DETT in his 240sx w/ minor boltons with 389rwhp... obviously its apples and oranges, the 240sx and the r34, rwd/awd, but still the rb powerplant... 150hp... doesnt make sense to me sorry I am new to AF, can someone please explain whats up. |

Re: The World Challenge GT Nissan Skyline GT-R Story
Im from Australia, where the import scene is really taking off, with skylines in abundance. The point is, we used to have an awesome variety of international racing back in the 70s and 80s in the Australian touring car championships, where European, Japanese and American cars could race with the V8s that the stereotypical Aussies went for. The thing was that the homegrown V8 tanks were winning and that kept the public happy. When the GTR came into the scene though, in 1990, not one single race was won by the aussie V8s anymore. The public got angry, and ratings dropped. Then from 1992 onwards, every foreign car was banned and the race consisted of only Ford and Holden; V8s.
For me, this is one of the reasons why im such a fan of the GTR, as it showed the community how crap our V8s really were. These days, i actually get annoyed by people at high school because of my allegiance to the GTR. So we dont really see alot of local racing going on anymore between the V8s and Japanese, which is what id love to see again. It really is great to see that the states is still allowing imports to race with the local cars. It would be great to now your car's specifications, as well as a brief rundown on the series, as i really have not heard of it before. Is it televised? or does nascar and Indy run the show? If it is televised, i hope it comes here somehow. All the best for the season and im sure that your GTR will perform to fulfill all our beliefs of your car. |

Where the hell do you get your information from? That story is nothing more than a myth, there were far more things happening behind the scenes than the GTR dominating. Look back to previous years and notice the dominance of one make over another, even the Ford GTHO phase IV was canned because of their advancement and stock showroom performance (around 400hp in the 70's). The GTR was simply another chapter nothing more and nothing less. At that stage 1990-1993 the real touring car force was not Holdens and Fords but the 2L British super tourers. Holdens were downgraded and slowed down to compete. PLEASE READ THE REAL STORY BELOW!!! Effectively the BMW and GTR were left out in the cold, since both used non compliance engines (3L and 2.6L). Holdens were hobbled and eventually the 2L based on the British super tourers and the 5L aussie cars had a falling out. The 5L (on shown on channel 10) set up their own category and the 2L (shown on channel 7) continued with theirs. The 5L category proved to be more popular and have thrived to what it is today. It had nothing to do with the GTR. Quote:
