HKS R32 GTR: The Nissan Skyline of our 90s JDM Dreams

Рет қаралды 148,102

4 жыл бұрын

The R32 GTR - and especially its racing variations - absolutely changed the game in the early 90s. And most notably, it’s the body style that got the Skyline its long-lasting nickname “Godzilla”. And with HKS on the heavy come-up in those times, it’s no surprise that they had a big hand in developing their own version of the Japanese Group A racer. Larry Chen and his squad check out this iconic racecar in all its inline-6 glory.

Proper cars, funny how the R34 is way more well known and famous and essentially only because of a movie when the 32 made all of its rep being absolute monsters on the race track using factory motors (obviously built)

Ok everything about this car is amazing but the part that caught my attention is those metal straps securing the piping at every silicon coupler. You only see small bits of engineering like that in race cars that need to perform lap after lap and i always nerd out when i see something new to me like that.

@jkalash762 4 жыл бұрын

@@jadainnovationsjadainnovat9001 no they are on the intercooler piping. It's to keep from blowing a coupling under boost. These cars were making a lot of boost and no matter how tight and secure the couplers are there's always a chance in racing, from all the vibrations and pressure lap after lap, you'll have a coupling slip enough to cause a boost leak or blow completely loose. This would actually be a good idea for diesel guys who are constantly blowing couplers under high boost. There could be some on the radiator couplings as well, which would stop a coupling from slipping under pressure or from expansion but i didn't catch if it was running hardlines to the rad or not.

Until cars start flying, the 90s and early 2000s will forever be the peak of automotive engineering and excellence. You can make a production car go 500kmh nowadays, but seriously whotf is going to get the opportunity to do that, more importantly who actually cares when you can fly way faster. When you want the whole package, the proper driving experience without all the bullshit, look no further than the 90s and early 2000s.
