Only in North America is this actually impressive. In lots of European countries manual transmissions far outnumbered autos over the last 20 years, same with Japan. If you couldnt drive a manual, chances are you weren't driving, period. Those who know how to drive stick cant help but shake their heads when people have serious problems driving that platform considering it used to be the norm
Fun fact - The original Group A Japanese driver K. Hoshino wasn't sure about the capability of this car before the race, after test driving it he called the car a "monster" and "unbeatable". Also, due to the car's suspension setup, one of the car's front wheel is usually in the air when cornering.
One of the few videos where I can actually feel how fast this car is by watching it, I literally know every bolt in a R32 Skyline, that may add to it. What an incredible car this is!
Love that! The way it rides the corners and shakes its head a little is so evocative of its generation. I now need to time travel to Bathurst, the BTCC and SCCA series of the time!

Every time you post either of Nissan's famous GTR lineage,be it R35's or Skylines,you always pick the best specimen and this one is very special indeed.Dedication to build it like original Group A car is astonishing.Very fast and it eats corners like nothing without any aero.Driver is very impressive and handles the beast in spectacular fashion.Outside shots wonderfully capture it's speed and onboard is fantastic.Thanks for sharing this gem.
The thing that always gets me about this particular set up of the r32 is the sound. It’s absolutely terrifying. Sounds nothing like the street ones and they sound great don’t get me wrong but the group a side exits paired with the tune sound like a demon.
@@AngryProtoBoiThat sport-bike sound comes from an equal length exhaust system or a single turbo setup, or both. A stock, twin-turbo RB26 with an exhaust will sound similar to this Group A car, albeit nowhere near as loud.
No, that would be a 1J and 2JZ, they addressed the faults that the RB26 had, shit oil pumps and oiling. 2JZ is one of the best engines in the World, a giant killer.
compare the steering wheel input vs what the car is actually doing to get an idea of how much judgement and on-the -fly adjustments are happening to achieve that level of driving.
What a car/driver. On the edge with no more to go, if this had a little bit more aero it might go faster but them 2 1/2 tyres worth of grip it has when cornering (just look at the wheels it lifts in the corners) is what's stopping it from going harder. Some serious power, grip, driving skills all in an epic car... But you can see it can push any more, the grip in that rubber is incredible when you think of all that weight, power and sideways force... like this car wants to lift up and is, thanks to a stiff chassis awesome suspension set up and camber with grip grip grip for days.... No matter how old I get I will always be this excited over seeing things like this... engineering awesomeness and skilled driver... whoop whoop..
Its quite rare for me to get scared watching a guy drive a three two around a course. This guy is really bringing out the potential makes me quite nervous.
This car is not exactly the same version (Australian version was made with lots of custom racing parts from local fabricators I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) but the Aus. version sure did kick ass in the early 90s at Bathurst!
@@alwaysturnonaircon Of course all race cars in such events are custom built, but I am not talking about all race cars, I am talking about the R32 GTR specifically. Nismo sent over JGCT-spec GTRs to the race teams in Australia but the cars were not appropriate for Bathurst and the high level of competition there, so the Aussie teams decided to custom fabricate parts for the GTR to suit Bathurst better.
If you're going to try and be funny, you should try to also be right. The Skyline is not, and never was a Datsun. Nissan pulled the Z over from Datsun and the Skyline over from Prince.
Seen this car IRL other year with Ric, never seen something move from a standstill to 5mph paddock speed so fast haha, and i'll never forget the line which i'm sure was "it'll do 1000hp but we've not got all the turbo's on, so only about 700..."

Look at that negative camber...and the width of those front tires...definitely need the grip it provides given torque and horse power...awesome!

They needed that camber because R32 has most of of its weight on the front, weight distribution is almost 60/40

i'm impressed with its quickness in cornerings!! never seen a car turning corners that fast
Especially without any aero
The way the chassis tweaked when he cornered with that AWD system, it was something un-natural, especially watching RWD all the time
Also goes to show that a racecar can still have reasonable ground clearance.
90´s Group A Touring Cars definitely had to.. Bathurst comes to mind for some reason 😅
Quite often lowering a car forces the suspension geometry to a point where it is deteimental to the handling.
