Calsonic Jgtc R32 Gtr In Car Footage

[BeEnAr]

Hey guys, found this on the net today, basically 19 minutes of In Car footage of the R32 Calsonic Skyline GTR at Fuji Speedway in the wet!

It's pretty good to see how he crushes the field from the back of the grid in the rolling start.

Anyways, enjoy!

[omega36]

Awesome

[N1GTR]

Thats great at 12:40 - "bye bye old school"

[BeEnAr]

yeah I was pretty wrapped to find it, i've seen the ol JGTC videos before but never a full 18 minutes of GTR in car with no commentary or some video that some douche has dubbed over with a crappy remix of some crappy track. I'll try and find some more.

This is great, look like some old C10's etc in there too. Might be some classic day or something. I expected to see the car with a wild gearbox or something but it's a standard shift pattern by the looks. Interesting

[VB-]

^ on that note, is he starting in 2nd or is first down to the left on the boxes they use?

[KURAUN]

think its 2nd.... and it looks to be a 6 speed box

[N1GTR]

They used old school (well duh) crash boxes.

Using an older shift pattern widely used in old porkas, something about first not being needed often on circuits so it was put somewhere out of the way.

Reverse is where we have first

first is where we have second

second is our third

third is our fourth

fourth is our fifth

fifth is below our fifth or where a getrag has sixth

they had different ratio boxes/diffs for different tracks, you can see an example of this in the video of tsuchia driving his old Taisan gtr at tsukuba after NISMO omori restored it. It's a good video, his comments are worth listening to aswel he says how good the car feels, how responsive and sharp and then he goes on to do something like a 60 second lap pretty much straightaway. From memory that taisan gtr has the setup from Fuji in it still.

If anyone has more vids like the one linked in the first post please put them up

[BeEnAr]

^^^ Agreed! Some of this ol school hustle is bloody awesome to watch and it would be good to have them all in the one place. I'm gonna look up that vid now, thanks Steve-O

*edit* Found it Taisan R32

[R32_GODZILLA]

Oh man haven't seen this in a while! Remember years ago finding it while still on dial-up, we left it on for hours to load so we could watch maybe half of it haha. Great bit of footage.

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

Yeah 94 had an awesome field!!!

Definatly a different vid mate, there's a line where he is about to get in it and turns to the Nismo mechanic who just restored the car "can i go full throttle in this car?" without even taking a breath the mechanic replies "yes." with this smile he's trying to hide from the superstar driver. Then they start the car and he drives off, such an awesome video.

I cant believe a team actually thought the lambo would be a decent race car hahaha

Here's some pics ive taken of that era cars while in Japan;

Nismo festival at Mt Fuji

Nismo factory, Omori

Its so much fatter than my one, it just was SO different in person

Look VERY carefully at the paint here

So different to the new stuff

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

It definatly sounds like straight cut gears in at least first and second

There's a C110 above for a bit of inspiration SO pissed i dont have room for one here

[BeEnAr]

R32 LM GTR is TUFF!! love the fact you can see the weave under the paint! and the kit is sweet!

Great Pics mate!

[N1GTR]

It makes you wonder where are they all now?

Of course the NISMO cars are all in nismos hands but what about the others?!

I was told a funny story in 2006, a person I know was making frequent trips to japan to buy parts, import them and then sell here, while doing the rounds at a workshop they asked politely if they could see what second hand parts the place had. After looking through and picking up all the good bits they opened a small door at the back of the room being used to stash parts which was partly hidden by all the stuff in the room. Went outside and up some stairs, there was an r32 group a gtr under a makeshift carport at the end of the ramp to the roof they havnt used in literally years. Completely filthy but complete as raced last. Went inside and asked the owner how much to sell it. He had forgotten he owned it! And no, wouldn't sell!

[BeEnAr]

yeah there would be quite a few of thise little surprises over there. I always wanted to know what happened to the 4 of these that were built:

MAZDA FAMILIA SPORT 4 1989 JAPANESE RALLY PRON

You would think that at least one would be in the Mazda Museum (although i've never been there to confirm this) or would at least be in the hands of mazda in the back of some factory somewhere gathering dust. But what of the others? There was 2 black, 1 silver and one red one built, only reason I know this is because i've seen a pic of all 4 of them together somewhere before. Bugger all info on the net about them.

Anyway, I suppose I should be posting on topic in my own thread lol, but if anyone has other pics of this put em up as it was pretty hard core!

[BeEnAr]

OK so I found another sweet video.

This one is the late great Ayrton Senna belting the crap out of the brand new (at the time) Honda NSX-R. Check out his mid corner pedal work! I've never seen anyone do that before maybe someone here can answer the reasoning for doing it?

Anyway, here's the video
