Congrats on everything! You're a lucky man! I can't imagine how much fun that car must be!

thanks! oh it was great yesterday the nismo modifications make the car feel like a 3800lb Go- kart where the size is still there but understeer and body rolled have been removed so you just point and shoot steer

Watching MC steer through the cones through the GO PRO, it's obvious that the GT-R suspension had been perfectly tuned. Point and shootability of this car is amazing.

:worship:

yeah and on my past GTRs I would sometimes come into a slalom a bit hot and them being decreasing distance I would have to feather the gas which ideally you set a speed on entry and carry through. well not knowing what to expect from the NISMO I did that by habit and going back and looking at the video Im like man I could have been totally flat and picked up a tenth or so right there.. I think the best example of how much this chassis is improved is at the mid point of the course when im heading back up the track. there I was totally flat out in 2nd gear just steering through.

on this car where the weld it they inject an adhesive there too and that alone adds almost 10% more rigidity to the chassis then you have the ultra stiff suspension and then hollow anti sways


probably wont have a full on track event until the spring so next up is some acceleration testing on the drag strip

You launched it!! Car is worth 50% less now, just give it to me. :p

doing one last test run before the drag strip tomorrow to see how it does traction wise on cool pavement

first run at the drag strip

2015 GTR NISMO 1/8 mile First Ever Run - Drag Strip - GT-R Life

Very impressive!

Browsing those GTRLife threads makes me feel very poor. LOL

Must be nice. Guess Nissan doesn't give a crap about us folk who have been in a Z since 1986. Figures. I have NO luck. LOL

I can take my nissan street cred back further than that lol

That you sitting on the car? Man I am getting old.

First Z, 1974 1/2 260z back in 1986. First Car, 1969 VW Beetle. My best friends 1980 280zx with a fade paint job. We were always in his backyard shop working on Z's and Beetles. Both paint jobs were done in his shop. Good times.
