Nissan R35 GT-R in car footage Knockhill trackday wet weather Video 1

Video 1 of 2

A video captured from inside my Nissan R35 GT-R at a very wet and miserable Knockhill trackday in November 2009, one of the Track Scotland events.

The Nissan GTR is running 575 BHP and was on Dunlop SP 600 Summer tyres with zero grip and the following mods:

GTC Full Titanium 90mm Race Exhaust system and Y Pipe
80mm Catless downpipes
Cobb Custom Tune
Whiteline suspension tweeks Set up for the dry ;)

Sadly what you don't get to see is the car sliding off the kirbs and the handfulls of opposite lock having to be applied on a regular basis to keep it pointing the right way.

If you listen carefully you will hear the back end spinning up at 120 mph+ going over the crest of the hill on the straight and hopefully the video will show the amount of times the back end was breaking loose due to lack of grip.

Roll on the dry weather and some decent rubber.

Thanks to Andy for the video

Hi Brokenwrist,

The car is running a custom Cobb RPM based boost control map and is running at 1.2 bar (Sorry mate i work in "old money" bar instead of psi)

Sounds awsome shagger

Its bad enough goin out with you in the dry never mind the wet lol

[nomuwerks]

I agree, terrible driving. Leave your granny's panties home next time!

Really enjoyed that, most people commenting don't realise how slippy tracks can be in the wet, especially knockhill. Sounds amazing, even the missus was hooked on this vid and she's not really into cars.

[robbo1911]

are all GTRs this twitchy in the wet?

@TheBoogieBots808 It's a Vauxhall VX220, not a Lotus. #LOL
