Insanely impressive in the late 90's for awd AND stick shift.

That's what I call driving skills mate.

Of all the exhaust sounds of all sports cars, these RB series GTR's just sound the best !!!!

And a big single RB.. makes it even better.

Imagine how quick these would be with today's tyres ! .

Only a real men will drive H pattern.

I love you, SKYLINE

Just goes to show what you can achieve with even the most basic of setups, spending only where necessary. I'm willing to bet most of these were running the original 2.6 motor and twin turbo setups (gt30, TD05 and similar) and a good old Hks f-con or apexi ecu. The fanciest component in those days would've been the dog box transmission or a 2.8 stroker motor.

Ah no, these were highly modified and huge $$ cars at the time. 9-10K rpm drag engines with high mount twin setups running 1200hp+ and full cross ply drag slicks.

@@thewanganfiles9304 yes, like I said in my post, most of these gtrs were running twins; there are plenty of videos online to back this up. The big singles were also popular with some tuners. Today outside the Japanese scene you’ll hardly ever see anyone using twins on a high power gtr and nor is it fashionable to stay with the original 2.6 displacement. The Japanese were and remain very simple in that regard. The old hks r33 recording breaking gtr running all hks products was perhaps the most advanced and no expense spared gtr at the time. It ran twin gt3240s, which are essentially garrets, and a hks f-con. www.speedhunters.com/2015/08/hks-drag-r33-gtr/ Even if we look at Japanese tuning today, we see that their tuning companies haven’t moved away from old tried and tested methods and often like to keep things simple. I guess that’s just how they like it and hats off to them. For a nice example, see to the Mine’s gtr r34 track car.

@@pitworksengineering agreed, for the time they were. My point may have been lost somehow, but I was trying to indicate how back then they didn’t deviate too much from what the gtr was mechanically. They stuck to twins mostly and almost always kept the 2.6 motor as opposed to today where most people, especially outside Japan it seems, ditch the 2.6 for a stroked motor when aiming for higher power. I suppose what we learn from these old Japanese tuners is that not everything required updating. Sometimes basic or simpler works.

@@thewanganfiles9304 yes, it seems mostly a non Japanese thing. Much of it has to do with non Japanese companies being predominant in those areas such as Garrett, precision, BW, Haltech, Motec, Nitto etc.

Indeed, a very popular setup among those cars was to run twin GT3037S turbochargers. Most of them made around 900-1000 horsepower, as shown in the 0-300 sprint race video series they also did, in 1998 through 1999. Those videos can still be found on KZread somewhere, look for 'cornerring 0-300' (cornerring is not a typo)

If sequential box manufacturers saw this video they wouldn’t even bother building those things😂 those guys changing gear as fast as Porsche pdk😂

The back end was crazy back then

holy shit! these drivers have massive balls!

2:16 is just ill with it.

Now we have street cars probably making similar power to these things and no one bats an eyes

Very impressive , rather see these than Audi or BMWs

The guy at 1:10 his leg is spring loaded

2:03 is the best

How they can change the gears this fast mind blown. I might break my gears if I try to change it this fast.

Those 8's look more fun

2:04

I heard tuning these beast was Steve's Job.......get it?

hory sheet

Holly sh.t these cars are unstable I’m chocked about these cars being able to make it in to the 8’s becaus they are scetchy
