omghi2u!

no worky for me.

 

[suprra_girl]

well it tis slow, but it does work for me

k well almost, doesn't help that youtube just happens to be down lol

 

[bigaaron]

That video demonstrates how slow the TurboA was compared to the Skyline! It got lapped twice in the video I think. LOL
Not that anyone else was any closer to the Skyline back then...

 

[HIDPLANET]

Yeah it shows how far ahead the Skyline is/was from any competition.

 

[mattjk]

hmmm, I have an old option video with those two cars racing, and it has the turboA winning. It is the driver that made the difference. Both cars were factory stock BTW.

how the fuck can you tell it got lapped twice???

 

[daledoe]

Nice find!!! I love the group a cars

 

[bigaaron]

I guess you are right, but it looked like the all the other cars were in slo-mo compared to the Skyline.

 

[poppincaps88]

man, those skylines were absolutely vicious in that race. Didn't the mk3 get a weight penalty, because of it's displacement...how much more weight could you add to the car for christ sakes.

 

[bigaaron]

I knew I was not too far off!!!

I did some research and the Skyline R32's won 27 races in a row, and undefeated in GroupA!!! That basically ended GroupA. They were actually banned in Australia from some endurance races because it was not even a contest with the Skyline in it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline#_note-rbmuscle
"This model soon earned the name Godzilla, for its track performance. The R32 GT-R dominated JTCC, winning 29 races from 29 starts, taking the series title every year from 1989-1993."

Sorry Toyota, you should have had the JZ series back then :stickpoke

 

[Sl1dewaysSupra]

Some of the coolest races were Group A and Group C races. Did you guys spot the "KING" in the Advan Skyline?

 

[mattjk]

it's true! supras suck.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

aaron, im pretty sure in Austria, they banned it because it used four wheel steering. That is why now a days cars for example in the JGTC aren't allowed to have anything other then the basics when racing because i think they learned from their mistake of how abusive it really was.

 

[csr ma71]

How come the blue supra was racing with the weaksauce cars?

And it's a fact. The 1jz was made to beat the R31, even when the 7m's were already beating the R31, but became way less competitive when the R32 came out.

 

[TrqMnstr]

:word8kn: Thats the advantage of having AWD. Skylines POWN-U and me.

 

[NashMan]

thous days the rules were umm not so umm great 4wheel streeeing and awd i just to much

i just wounder if you took the awd away and the 4 wheels streering what whould happen

plus raceing has to do alot with the drvie 30% car 70% driver

 

[bigaaron]

Take the awd out and you would have a lighter skyline, with less drivetrain loss, that would pull away even harder on the straights! hehehehe

 

[johnathan1]

Haha, the Civic was last.
