Skyline GTR R34 Twin Turbo vs Toyota Supra MKIV Single Turbo

[@automotiveobsession7265]

I know you guys had some issues at this track day but you guys deserve a lot of respect for the effort it took to build these cars and also a shout out for driving both the Supra and the GTR in anger on a racetrack. That content is really rare nowadays and you guys did it with quality in mind from the parts to the camera angles. Would not hesitate to watch another track battle if you guys decide to keep improving from the experience gained at this track day.

[@helmetculture]

Where can I see the issues that might've been had at this track?

[@essenceofsias]

The SOUND coming out of that GTR is absolutely insane. What a car!

Does GTR have an aftermaket cam

@@TheAnonymous1one yes

[@BeeBeefy]

It really sounds so majestic. If the 2JZ doesn't have it side by side it would sound good too

[@Wretched2JZ]

@@BeeBeefyI was always a person who liked the deeper tone of 2JZ vs say the 1Jz GTE which is 2.5 liter and the GTR which is a 2.5. I think that’s the main reason , since 2J is a 3 liter 🤷🏼‍♂️. But I know a TON of folks would say opposite. Idk the more you go higher pitch it’s reminds me of a street bike or something! But LOL yea, Supras sound NASTY with straight pipes! 😳.. not to mention a set of race cams!! When I was finally working on buying one I was already exhaust shopping 😂.. and compared to the cobras I’ve owned.. Supras on YT just sounded too quiet!… until I got one!.. and instead of going straight pipe I forked out the cash for a 4”. Full titanium system. And wow! What a night- day difference from HKS.. Mines still TT and it’s still sounds so nasty! Sometimes like a dodge Cummins w 5” exhaust 😂.. But,, on the YT thing, there’s something about the pitch of the exhaust that cameras or phone can’t pick up! It’s like it distorts it and/or makes the whole sound clip quiet!! My car is extremely loud outside of it. But it’s pretty soundproofed because of the dyno matting inside! 👍🏼

[@justin7190]

“Technically who won here DP?” You both have. This is THE dream for so many enthusiasts. Your hard work and detection paid off, thank you for taking us along for the ride.

[@priceverity5289]

I’ve waited so long for this video. Thank you guys lol. Lap times are cool to see but at the end of the day, they’re both two bad ass cars that you put your heart and soul into. Speed academy will forever be my favorite KZbin channel. ❤

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Great cars! That turbo noises on the Skyline are INCREDIBLE

[@griffengardner]

Man first thing I notice is just how much the GTR sounds like a catless BMW S54. The similarity is just nuts. Loving the video guys.

I noticed that as well. That suprised me

[@griffengardner]

Can't get enough of R34 footage on track

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

The level of detail, time and money spent is outrageous. I admire you guys so much for putting in so much work, you guy deserve more recognition on this platform

[@zakswindle]

I’m normally a 2j guy but that RB makes my heart smile

[@GleepGlop2]

GTR sounded crunchy during shifts, not sure if that was just the turbo though. Can we get a leaderboard graphic of all of your builds best laptimes?

[@mr.cangieter8758]

That is an amazing idea.

[@selektor2567]

Yeah a leadboard is much needed. Everytime they talk about lap times I'm thinking: "cool... what does that mean?"

[@zaqsxrdthfhjgfgfbjkh]

There’s one on the website

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

A RB26 engine refresh this off season (rings, bearings, seals, gaskets coatings and treatments) would be such a wise investment at this point. It would increase its value, durability, drivability, performance, enjoyment and likelihood of being driven.

I actually really liked the combination of outside footage and your commentary, the GTR felt visceral around the track. Also I love the supra and think it is underrated in the corners but that setup on the RB just sounds amazing. Thanks for putting in so much work (but you get to drive your dream cars).

[@AhmadAli-zj9wh]

Thank you guys for making this episode! Really enjoyed it, 28 minutes feels like 10!

[@troyjohnson2627]

I think a rematch is in order after more seat time...Great video!

[@ef7andapp170]

Good to see these cars out on the track...and not just in the background of the shop. Nice work done to both cars!

[@shautohaus]

I'm relatively new to the channel and just went back and watched this entire series after watching the Evo VI series. You all build the most beautiful JDM cars. You're living many of our dreams, so the answer is you both won!

[@SreySongz]

I love watching you guys. You don’t need a ‘KZbinr persona’ to be successful in what you guys do because you offer a very genuine experience and perspective in your journey. Hope you guys continue with your success and stay true to who you guys are because we really do love your content!

[@dynokill]

You guys need to take turns driving each others car. That different perspective for each car I think adds a lot of value.

[@briansoper428]

My thoughts exactly! Get the average time from both drivers to see which car is faster (once the issues of the GTR get sorted). This would take the driver out of the picture and boil it down to car performance.

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

That titanium exhaust sounds so good 👌🏻 Wheels and brakes on the Supra 😍 Fix that shitknob and belt thing and go back out again and make more track side action for us 😎💪🏻

[@vichs8457]

Both are the same to maintain. RB doesn't do anything different. Especially at these power levels. 1000hp different story.

Use blue Loctite on that shift knob to keep it in place and straight. You don’t even have to get it all the way tight to the bottom of the threads; the Loctite will hold it in position.

[@andysgaragetherapy]

Absolutely thrilled to see these two classic beauties on track! Both cars really are special, and the GT-R does sound amazing in the clips that were shared. So happy to find out the issue should be minor because that would have scared the crap out of me on a car like that!

R34 for the rev off. Also I just prefer the appearance of the R34

For sure, but with an aftermarket exhaust the Supra might sound better also.

[@danino66]

The sound of that RB at high rev is magnificent!!!!!!….

[@BNR_248]

Supra's are no slouch, not sure why people say they're heavy compared to a GTR, theyre both pretty heavy tbf. As for the GTR, they are quite reliable on track, especially with the tune you guys did with that power level, very safe and very reliable. Downfall is usually oil pump/oil drain but you already solved that. It's just a wear and tear thing that got you, i've seen a few cars destroy power-steerings at track days - common older car things.

[@davisharr]

Funny you guys say the Supra is rowdyer sounding than the GTR in person. In the video, GTR sounds more aggressive and louder, but volume always has a hard time translating over video. I think I like the GTR sound more, but it's a tough call, if it truly is quieter and more mature in person but still has all those tones, then it's probably the winner, but if that raspy tone in person is too ear piercing, I'd likely change my answer to the slightly cleaner sounding Supra note. Great video as always, congrats on this series, those are some serious dream level cars these days, and you did a very tasteful job with both of them!!

[@witchcraftauto]

Even if both cars are considered heavy GT cars, they're still amazing, they still faster than both my cars and they're both still epic Legends!!

Man those cars are amazing! And sound incredible! Both look like a handful on the track but once you get use to them they’ll both be absolute weapons. Great video series!

[@alouisschafer7212]

The issue with the GTR sounds 100% like the power steering pump locking up and the belt squeals on the pulleys as a consequence. That would explain why the engine kinda stalled out when you let off the gas pedal and went into neutral. Weird that it was the AC compressor...

[@93455Driver]

Great video series, the Supra was surprising but that RB motor sounds so good.

Dave, Pete.. as someone who drives RHD cars everyday (never driven a LHD before😂) using an open hand to bang through gears is the best way. I was also a driving instructor for a few years and taught my students the open hand method, works brilliantly👌

Take the belt off for winter.. AC compressors will lock up inside the housing. Internally the fins will press against the rear house and stop the blades from rotating. Take apart the AC compressor and find out for yourself…

Even through the video i could feel the magic. Both cars are clearly legends for a reason. Just incredible that they're still so impressive 24/28 years later.

[@garagecedric]

I really like my racebox, negligible difference to the transponder lap times when i tested it, and the data is very accurate. The app is good for quick analyzes between sessions, and logs can be exported for circuit tools for example for deeper Analysis, or vbox test suite for acceleration analysis. The display is a bit small, bigger would be better, but the live predictive screen is good, with the green/red bar sliding in the bottom of the screen depending on your current speed. The support answers on mails very quickly aswell.

[@noahvelasquez223]

So awesome to see the cars be fixed then driven how they were intended to be! Keep up the great work!

[@supra1722]

anyone who thinks the Supra isn't made for the track has watched too much youtube. let's not forget who bested the Testarossa, 911, Viper, ZR1, RX7, NSX, 300ZX, and 3000GT on the skidpad and braking. double wishbone suspension...

[@BS-zg7dn]

Both awesome cars! I have fond memories of an early 80's Skyline which a buddy had when I was in Japan. Believe it or not he used to loan to to me for a weekend sometimes. Driving right hand drive in Japan after getting used to it seemed more natural back then. Another buddy had a Celica I could borrow so I had two great friends to say the least. I will say I am almost ambidexterous so didn't have too much trouble. Of course never took it on the track so didn't have to worry about shifting quickly. Love your videos and that you are not perfect drivers. It gets old watching people driving hypercars perfectly on prestine tracks. Too bad these cars are so expensive now. I keep hoping to find an older Honda or something to buy and have fun with. Keep up the great videos! The Acura/Honda build off series was gold!

[@oraiosokypreos]

You just won the best opening to a video... in my household anyways!

[@Addmoreboost]

The episode we’ve all been waiting for! Well done fellas, both cars are amazing! Pete, regarding the AC, like you said, there’s a setting in the ECU where you can shut off the AC after a specified RPM, most of us disengage the AC compressor above 4K rpm, that should solve your issue.

[@turbovin]

They use Link G4X right? It looks like the AC should deactivate on more than 90% TPS if the setting from the base map hasn't been changed. At least it's like that on the G4+
