You've done an amazing job of tweaking the chassis of your GTR to be better than low, you're doing a great job and I'd like to shake your hand for that.

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks man, happy to hear that. 😊 I did'nt do much, Öhlins and whiteline was there when I bought the car. I've added all the adjustable arms for allignment, but the big difference was when @andre82s2k /Atomic changed springs and gave the car a proper setup. That was night and day in comparison. 🤝

[@rrems8]

Insane run with gt3 rs . Good job dan !!!

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks rrems, really appreciate it! 😊👍 I did do another trackday after this, where my potential best laptime dropped by allmost 3 seconds. More speed in the fast sections, and some corners I did'nt touch the brake when I have done before. That's coming up next. 😉

[@diditiu3988]

wow what a drive man great job and you were chasing a 992 gt3rs, hell of a great job your doing with your older gtr!!! again congrats and great job. please upload more videos like this.

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks a lot man, exited to hear that you know what these cars are about, and what they can do! Or should be doing, 992 GT3RS are (in the right hands) in another league. But yeah, that was very fun to (sort of) keep up with the new rich man's toy in a 11 yo GT-R... Which is 1/3 or 1/4th of the price... :D Thanks again, consider subscribing, and you will see more of this.

[@danilabelokon4202]

Thank you, I enjoyed your run!

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks man, really appreciate it! 👍

[@northwestscent9455]

Damn that GT3RS was blocking you throughout the first half seemed like you could have had a better time and even beat it

[@danpettersen1]

Yeah I did have an advantage at the start of the lap. He was in my way a bit. But those cars are running Michelin Cup 2R tires, they need heat in them to work. He's faster when he he got his temps up.

[@hachapuri1229]

Amazing lap, amazing car, and amazing setup u have done to the car!! what a track tool.

[@danpettersen1]

Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺

[@hachapuri1229]

Going next weekend with the smaller brother (Infiniti g37 coupe) to Nurburgring as well, hope It won't rain :D@@danpettersen1

[@danpettersen1]

@@hachapuri1229 Nice, that's the last days/weekend of 2023 😁 Good luck, with the driving and weather. Stay safe! 🤞

[@dong.9120]

That was a fun display of the GT-R's capabilities!! Looks like you were having fun! Thanks for the upload!

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks Don! Yeah this car is amazing. 11 yo now, and still going strong. Nürburging is allways fun, for me it's heaven on earth. ☺ I have done another trackday after this, and I was able to push even more, especially in the fast sections. So stay tuned. 👍

[@DrivenbyAlex]

This is a Track edition correct? handling is amazing - super driving!

[@danielshinerock1526]

Amazing car and driver. So planted.

[@danpettersen1]

Thank you Daniel!

[@danielshinerock1526]

A very capable car. Many people say it cannot produce good ring times and it obviously can.

[@robsonrissotrainer]

Definitely need more power, you probably have alot more by now, I just have my gtr done a 1400whp, I wish I could find a gtr3 or any car to play with me

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

How the heck are you keeping up with a 992 GT3RS in a GTR? that's some insane driving there.

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks man! I guess the GT-R are more capable than most people think. The car has some mods (nothing crazy though), and that's definitely helping.

[@TheNicolascadot]

@@danpettersen1 definitely ! I have a 2014 with the exact same mods as you have and on the track days porsche and ferrari owners gets always upset :-) ... nice lap by the way

[@jonevans790]

Nice work.

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks Jon! 👍

[@LeBeausMachines]

Crazyyy

[@AlexandersArchways]

That looked amazing, I've been racing my GTR a bit and was concerned about the engine reaching 108C but now I see that's normal. Great driving!

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks man, appreciate it! Engine oil is'nt such a problem with the GT-R, as you can see, it rises 8 degrees C from start to finish. The gearbox temp is what's ending the show, I try not to let it go beyond 130C.

[@AlexandersArchways]

@danpettersen1 that is something I haven't thought of! Thank you so much. I will keep and eye out on the Trans temp next time. Cheers!

[@davecom3]

​@@danpettersen1have you stripped your GTR of any weight? Amazing it can handle that well against much lighter cars that are close to race ready!

[@danpettersen1]

@@davecom3 Well, some. The car was corner weighted 2 years ago, and the scale said 1710 kg. Not sure how the fuel level was then. I have removed some panels, mats and trim, I think It added up to be 30-40 kilos. But I'm tall and heavy driver, so we are probably looking at 1800 kg with me in it. 😅 But yeah, It handles amazingly for what it is.

[@lajosnemet7040]

Nissan GTr plus 300 kg ! Só Nissan GtR The King

[@NickRandløvPetersen]

Hi, do you Want to share what the specs of the alignment you are using? Nice driving 🎉

[@danpettersen1]

Hey. Thank you! Dont know much to be honest. I think camber settings are -3.5 at the front and somewhere around -2.0 -2.5 at the rear. Dont know about the other settings. Guess you have to get in touch with Atomic and talk to Andrea if you'd like similar settings.

[@TheCarMagDriver]

Hi mate, do you use any brake cooling? Car looks great.

[@danpettersen1]

Thank you! The 2012 Track Pack version has cooling vents/ducts both front and rear. Nothing more besides that.

[@dragboy900hp]

Just bought a 2016 gtr looking to do just handling mods. What break rotors and pads do you run? Did you ever try the a052 tire? I had those down to buy as well. Great driving

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks! I currently run PFC 410mm front rotors with PFC pads, and Alcon rotors at the rear. I had Alcon at the front before the PFC's, they were just as good. Amazing performance, lasted 5 years with hard tracktime only. So I'll recommend those. Funny you should mention those, I actually have a new set of 052's on my shelf, so I'll be trying those out next season.

[@dragboy900hp]

Thanks for the reply subscribed !

[@danpettersen1]

No problem man, appreciate it!@@dragboy900hp

[@jeremycorrao]

Great lap! I have a question regarding the steering wheel. Seems like you have to really extend your arms unless the camera makes it look that way.

[@danpettersen1]

Thank you! Yeah, that's the camera-view that does that. Think I went with a wide fov-setting, an then it looks a little wierd.

[@realmadspeed1785]

amazing, you need cup 2 R 305 square

[@danpettersen1]

Thanks, I've actually thought about that. Was considering 305/30-20 AR1, but my front wheels are 10", so that's a tad wide. Cup 2R are beyond by budget, but I might try some Yokohama's. There was a test on YT about them, and they were significantly faster that AR1's...

[@realmadspeed1785]

@@danpettersen1 i did cup 2 R 265f and 305R, needs a lot of camber front and will last about 1.5 attack lap before they overheat in front, but 2 sec faster on a 2mn lap easy

[@danpettersen1]

Just saw you video from Magny Cours, great driving and that GT-R was wild! :) 265/305 is a big difference, think you would be better even with a cheaper tire, but squared. But that was your suggestion in the first place. I've heard that too from the Porsche guys running C2R's, you get one or maybe 2 fast laps around the Nürburging. BUT, then everything has to be right, if you encounter any traffic, that's 2500 euro's down the drain....

[@realmadspeed1785]

@@danpettersen1 That is why i told you 305 square for the gtr is better, it will hold better. that said even used they ll be quicker than normal cup 2, it was 1.5 quicker than the 285/325 CUP 2 set up even with the downsizing.

[@realmadspeed1785]

to fight understeer on a gtr, the front track needs to be wider, wide fenders .... anyway gtr problems...great driving btw wish i knew the nurburgring as well as you

[@BoostedR130]

Great stuff! Were you short shifting to keep temps down?

[@danpettersen1]

Thank you! Are you refering to some places, or all the time? Ppl has commented that I upshift too early, but the max torque comes at 3000 rpm, and max hp starts from 5000 rpm and stays flat. So I dont need to drag the rpms. Nismo's are a different story, they perform to the redline. ;)

[@BoostedR130]

@@danpettersen1 gotcha. Yea that makes sense on stock turbos. My old GTR tune would limit me to 6700 rpm’s so was just wondering if you had something similar.

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

You had the car 11 years? What issues have you had with it?

[@danpettersen1]

No, the car is 11 years old. 2012 my. I had it since 2016. None really, until this year. Allways run like clockwork previously, but I had an oil-leak from one of the turbos this year, that meant I had to change the turbos. Other than that, is just wearing-parts such as brakes, tires, wheel-bearings, and some bushings and links here and there.

[@mitchrich6]

That Gt3 rs cost you atleast some 3 seconds i feel

[@danpettersen1]

Yeah, it probably did. But I cost myself a lot of seconds too, this was probably the 3rd lap of the year, so my driving was a little rusty.

[@dylan_zilla4142]

Hey, wheels brand??
