I live in japan.

Im not a japanese expert but i can do my part when is nescessary, im realy happy if i could come with some help.

I got the complete video with the race performed by the new gtr against a 997 gt3 ,997 turbo tiptronic(the same of the video you posted),nsx r,and a gallardo superleggera in tsukuba racing circuit.

After 5 laps using street tires on a winter day ,the result of the test race amused me. The winner on the race was not any porsche or nissan or honda, but the lambo!

Tsukuba is a pretty “chunky”circuit and ist not cutted for powerfull machines. So the lambo winning was a surprise for me and even for the pilots who conducted the test. The pilots who drove the porsches lamented the fact that the circuit didnt fit the cars they drove and the gtr pilot commented that the car is indeed good, but heavy.

I have to say though, they are all a little harsch about the gtr in the final statements of the video. And, again Tsuchiya said that by the price comparison the gtr is a perfect choice but not yet to be called a supercar.

Looks pretty obvious that the japanese motorpress would like to push their judgement for their own produced brands on most of the videos they launch for their own market. (top gear is a easy example of that european way). But, when the case in view is a statement maded by a factory (in this case nissan’s desire to build a car capable to go toe to toe with the best in the world) they can be very critical.

So, dont worry maybe my translation for you is not perfect but im not liyng to you.

For me…the best choice would be a gt3. But, since i cant afford one i drive a skyline.

Thank you.
