Ha never seen this channel, gone through and watched about 15 videos in a row. Really nice relatable attitude. Gives you more of an idea how the car feels than watching top gear or something like that. I've been looking at an R8 v8 for next year, but just had a quick look on GTR's after watching some vids ;-)
Hi, thanks for this. Glad you like my content. I was in the same predicament. R8 or GTR. It's all personal preference really, for me the GTR is the perfect car, i wouldn't even consider an R8 now. But saying that, i am still a huge fan of the R8, great car for the money.
Amazing video, just rediscovered your channel. Watched the buying and tuning process ages ago. Finally bought my own Gtr, it’s only running a stage one map and y pipe and it feels bloody fast. That 650 kit must be another level
I'm surprised that you didn't achieve more than 11:63? My best time was 11:60 in my standard GTR with standard Dunlops and no launch too!! I felt that foot down in auto is enough to put the power down. Good vid btw👍
jonnylaris I'm glad this question popped up. There are 2 manual modes on GTR's 1. The driver must change gear themselves at all times. 2. The driver must change gear themselves at all times, except from when the rev limiter is hit. The car will then automatically change up a gear. I used option 2 to save hitting the limiter, I think this was why it kept prematurely changing. Next time though, I'll try option 1. Hope this makes sense. Very logical question. Thank you.
Hope you all enjoyed the vid. If you're new to my channel you can subscribe and follow here:

Well in mate, loving how natural and real the videos are!

Love that - on the line your heart gets proper going!!!!!!!! Petrol Power all day long. Nice footage from multiple cars and cameras, seemless blends.
david daffin love seeing you in the comments david. Thanks mate. Definitely all about petrol engines 👌👌

Supercars FunTime UK I'll get back up there at some point for a second chance and see what I run. I'm pretty sure I'll get a better time as well
Awesome vid fella, great times for the power and weight.
haha giving the finger to the tesla at the end classic!
As always mate good videos loving the gtr can't wait sell my evo for gtr :)
another exellent video thank you calvin
Isnt the stock GTR time 11.7 (on the original 2008-2009 GTR?) What should a Stage 4.25 GTR do in the 1/4 mile?
man why didn't you try manual shifting? Wouldn't have had the issue with the autobox changing to 2nd prematurely.

Thank you.
Yea man that would be good because you will hit the limiter on a launch due to wheelspin.
Can u launch while suspension is in comfort? If so put it in comfort, and keep aircon off.
Awsome video mate
enjoyed every bit of that!!
Would have thought a 4.25 would run low 11's or high ten's?
Maybe the gearbox is skipping to 2nd because you've got traction off? Awesome video as always.
Just discovered your channel mate, really good vids. Thanks for the entertainment :)
Liam Bryce you’re very welcome sir 🙏🏼
Great video mate! 👍
Also wouldn't it have launched quicker with traction control left on in R mode??🤔
Wicked Cal
Good talking to you then. Missed you today mate!
im sure that car was a fox bodied mustang may be wrong
I cheered when you beat the Tesla hahahaa your GTR is a monster
EGGLOVER2010 yeh boring telsa
Can't believe a 4.25 only runs 11.6!! Thought with that power and weight it would be 11 dead atleast! Friends r35 managed 11.3 4.25 Litchfield!
I think if you leave it all in race and change yourself it won’t change into 2nd, otherwise in auto it will upshift.
I think you need around 750 rwh to run the 10’s for a car that size and weight.
You should buy the gtr again and upgrade it
With your power. U shud be getting 10.8
Madness go 2 knightracer he wil fix the gear problem .. he king of gtrzzzzzźz
You want your aircon off really m8
im wrong oops lol
Rip your clutch
Wow first run was slow, stock rs3 saloon is quicker to quarter mile.....second run not quick either. gtr should be quicker
