Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V spec (R33) '97 500PP SH Review
Hey guess what? Sure been a long time since I did a review of one of your cars
![Tongue :P :P](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/tongue.svg?v=3)
, wanted to do something a little more challenging for yours.
You know that I have a lot of respect for you
![Drool :drool: :drool:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/drool.svg?v=3)
, but what about your tunings
![Sly :sly: :sly:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/sly.svg?v=3)
? Let’s give it a real challenge. I’m taking it to Super - Ascari 10 Lap Challenge using the exact setup with SH, I don’t know how many laps I’ll be able to last with these and will I be fast enough to compete with those pretentious “

have you seen me
![Cool :cool: :cool:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/cool.svg?v=3)
“ cars. I know the driver and he’s top notch

, as long as he’s alone on the track
![Odd :odd: :odd:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/odd.svg)
. Enough babling, let’s go.
Lap 1:
Getting use to the car, easy to control but lacking speed and grip in corners, very hard to pass the R8 in front, can’t take the inside or we will bump and to slow on the outside.
Position 14/16
+20.855
Time 2:24.814
I was thinking of trying to make it to the end with the same tires but just realized that I’ll most likely run out of gas. Will wait until lap 5 to make a decision.
Lap 2 :
Just before the first curve right after the start line, a car came flying towards me out of nowhere
![Confused :confused: :confused:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/confused.svg)
, barely had time to change line, hey it held on and passed the R8 at the same time. Could use stronger braking power to brake late and pass on the tight curves
![Big Grin :D :D](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/biggrin.svg?v=3)
.
Position 11/16
+16.876
Time 2:23.597
Started using the full width of the track to gain some advantage, in and out of curves will roll two tires off track to place my self in a straight line out. Had a couple of out off curves where the rear left tire heated up a lot, but I’m racing so don’t ask me where
![Nervous :nervous: :nervous:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/nervous.svg)
.
Lap 3:
Again same place, some car is facing me
![Confused :confused: :confused:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/confused.svg)
and for once it’s not me that’s going the wrong way, again car held on well as I had to change my driving line at the last second.
The car turns well on medium and fast curves, there’s a little slip from the tires but it’s easily managed, it’s the mid section of curves that are hurting me.
Position 9/16
+18.221
2:24.597
Nothing new, just not gaining up on the pole position.
Lap 4:
Almost a clear lap, though the car turns well and there are no surprises out of curves, I sure wish I had SS to gain more positions.
Position 7/16
+17.612
2:24.011
Tires are holding ok Front 7/7 Rear 9/9 but will stop at lap 5 to refuel and put a new set of tires.
Lap 5:
I’m going in for a pit stop at the end of this one, in front is a 6) SRT, 5) Lamb.Murci, 4) Lamb. Aventador, and 3 unknown comics. I’m catching up to the Avantador but as we get out of the curves it loses me in the dust .
Position 3/16
+16.888
2:32.771
Lap 6:
Totally clear ahead, in front are 3) MP4, 2) Huayra, 1) Enzo . A little slippery as I try pushing it to try to gain up on the leaders. The Enzo will have to pit, I don’t remember for the other two jokers.
Position 3/16
+18.436
2:45.614
Lap 7 :
Took a 5 second penalty when I missed that little ‘s’ just after the start, the Enzo passed me then I retook my place at the next curve.
forgot to take notes
Position 3/16
???
2:26.056
Lap 8 :
Was a bad bad boy, braked really late to over take the MP4, now 2nd, cutting him off on the straight to protect my lead.
Position 2/16
+8.942
2:23.045
The MP4 & the Enzo are breathing down my neck, ( Don’t Panic
![Scared :scared: :scared:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/scared.svg?v=3)
)
Lap 9
Position 2/16
+2.693
2:23.017
Still have those two retards tailing me and the other reject in front seems he’s just teasing me saying “ come on, get close” and peels off into the sunset
![Sad :( :(](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/cry.svg)
.
Lap 10
On the second set of curves I waited for the right time and took 1st place, now I’ve got the 3 stooges coming at me from behind, keep cool
![Cool :cool: :cool:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/cool.svg?v=3)

Total time 24:44.938

Nice tune, ok I give it to you, GOOOOOOOOD tune, just stop snapping those pants suspenders, you'll look silly if they break off
![LOL :lol: :lol:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/lol.svg?v=3)
. It's well balanced and has just enough power to make you drive and not just be part of a parade, but ..

... nothing in particular.
