Ever wondered what racing in a real R34 would be like?

here's a video from the driver's seat... didn't realise that racing would be so bumpy

[tckrto]

u think like initial D Takumi ah? no matter how he drive, his passenger wont feel giddy :laugh5:

nahhh i thought would be like a normal ride lydat.....
hmmm although come to think of it, normal ride at 100 already feel quite bumpy

[tckrto]

actually depends on car leh. BMW chionging at 240km/h the feeling is like driving at normal 120km/h like dat.

oooo... so far haven't sat in any luxury car yet, so dunno... haha

[tckrto]

car like intergra, S2000, Evo, Rex, Skyline etc the suspension is for racing, so feels abit harder den normal car. But still got pple like to change the suspension as the stock suspension sucks :D
I sit frens car integra, evo, rex all knn lower the suspension n change b4 wan, cornering feels better, but scare the shit outta me :laugh5: but when chiong straight will feel abit bumpy if the road abit uneven

[booest]

basket.. he rev all the way to RED one :D

arbaden... you think sunday drive ah?
why do you think that racecar drivers get fatigued after each race... they have to constantly battle the bumps, the g-forces (if fast enuff), keep mentally alert AND keep the car from going outta control.
btw, all racecar drivers drive at the limit - ie anymore power or direction change will cause spectacular results ;)

that's THE only way to drive a racecar wor...

see bay hiong.. and see aby loud sia...

orhhhh ok

ish liddat one... if you have ever gone for a F1 race, just sitting at the stands, esp at the entry to or exit of slow corners, the gear change sounds even louder than gunshot! F1 drivers are mostly deaf one! :laugh5:

no need to stand there can hear liaoz ahahahaha
if back fire laggi jia lat

actually, it is backfire - but a controlled version of it.
But as the exhaust system does not include silencers, baffles and catalytic convertors, the resulting sound is super loud - if you remove them from your regular cars driven on the roads, imagine the traffic noise!!!! :shock1:

non need back fire.. the rev of the F1 engine is aleady one ell of a noise liaoz lah....scary

eh... engine noise comes mostly from the exhaust lah... the rest is chassis vibrations, brakes, tyre and intake noise

yah yah vibrations... knn...even those big Canon L-Lens mounted on tripod also will move..

[tckrto]

F1 only short of a pair of wings nia :laugh5: as noisy as a plane

Actually, a significant amount of the noise that a car produces comes from the engine block itself. As you rev it harder, the block starts to vibrate (after all, every piston cycle is the equivalent of a small bomb going off inside the engine). This is why small cars with effective mufflers make a lot of noise when revved to the redline.

Don't believe me? Take a look under the bonnet (hood?), where the engine is mounted to the chassis, and also under the car where the gearbox mounts to the chassis (on a rwd car). Every mount point on any car uses large rubber vibration dampers, to protect the rest of the car from the engine's vibration (which produces the noise).

if you say so... ;)
"This is why small cars with INeffective mufflers make a lot of noise when revved to the redline." I reckon you forgot the "in"... you just reinforced what I said... majority of noise from engine is released into the exhaust system

wah lao

i notice the 4th bar as around half the vid, the bar has been already flickering with red signals. after that, the guy didn't rev up the engines and start changing at around 6k rpm.

R34 stock rad cmi? dunno whether comparable but my dad did something like this in malaysia and driving at 6.5k rpm of a modded 330HP WRX, it doesn't feel so shaky when you're in the car. it's like the seat absorbs some vibrations and makes it feel a bit like rollercoaster. accelerate and let go accelerator makes you jerk back and forth. the sound of the turbo intake sounds like the engine's "breathing."

[Levin]

I love the 34...Makes me squeal like a girl whenever I see one on the road.

[Kozato]

i have rode in both a nsx and r34 that's travelling @ 300+km/h....the experience is damn scary man

[lanc3r]

culd it be poor downforce?

[HondaFreak]

There was one R34 featured in best motoring.. Tuned by Mines.. The acceleration of that car is mindblowing even though it "only" had around 600Bhp which is quite easy to obtain in a RB26..:shock2:

RB26DETT shud be able to attain 1000BHP easily wad...

The Mines one was wtf really. :D

[HondaFreak]

That car has superb engine response which is very difficult to obtain from heavily turbocharged engines. 1000Bhp is easy on the RB26 but whether you can put that much power on the road is another matter. I don't really think even a pro racing driver can effectively control that much power on a road car.:)

the car you or your dad rode in is still 'streetable' the one in the vid is not... it's a pure race track car... no dampening wat-so-ever... and the seat (yes, only one) is not really cushioned, it's just padded... pure racing seat.

1000bhp is meant for drag, ie straight line... on full track, it will be undriveable at high speed...

Agree!!! btw i feel that 1k bhp is not that easy (compare with 4G63 of course easier) as race fuel needs to used, loads of cooling. Alot of money needed to mod

fuel pump, fuel injector, perhaps a presurised fuel tank
forged piston, titanium valve spring, strengthen crankshaft, conrods, pulley
extractor, exhaust pipe to a damm free flowing one.
big big turbos like GT3240 x 2, big big intercooler, waste gates, big intakes with dual HKS air filter,
Clever computer (maybe put A64 in there?)
many more...

Can fufill my dream of blasting from one end of PIE to another end in 8 mins (too bad cannot 3 min, 41km/300km/h = 8 min ++)
