Agreed on the practicing of rev matching on the down shifts. If I was going to drive a 600hp GTR I would be learning to heel toe pretty quickly after going through a few clutches.
If you drop engine oil in a hot exhaust it doesn't produce black smoke. Black smoke is usually due to over fuelling / rich map. Engine / turbo ware is more likely to cause white / grey smoke :-)
Dude. Watch a lot of these kinds of videos. Personally, this is the nicest skyline I've heard! Sound sweet through the whole rev range. Love the driving too! (I may be slightly bias, as an r32 is my ultimate car! Peace
i can't fathom how old this video is now, how old i am now lol its still one of the best onboard skyline soundgasms ever created. Kudos to the Skyline, the driver and the editor.
If I recall correctly from a most recent driving instruction (because I enjoy updating techniques yearly), I believe his hands are in the correct position because they are in the drivers most comfortable area to maintain control of his vehicle. Also, I don't believe I read where he was actually racing the car, but going through the RPM to allow the viewer to hear the sound of the car, causing the catchword "soundgasm," which it captures greatly.
I have a lhd converted r32 gtr that i would sell, provided i can figure out a way to export it out of my home country, Chile. How much would you pay for one?
now it's mainly used when racing as it allows the motor to be in the right rev range after a downshift (and so less engine braking and no wheel blocking). not doing it doesnt mean that the gearbox is going to be damaged
It's a AWD drift you knobs. If you knew anything you would know that 600hp can easily break traction on street tyres and the fact that he's even got traction, bar giving it heaps on the corner but can't hold the drift and he has to hammer down to drive it out, it's obvious. Do your research on stock gts-t's. Nice car/driving A++
It's rwd drifting. On the r32 gtr you just wire a switch to the awd fuse so you can switch between awd and rwd. Also the r32 is rwd 99% of the time anyway, it only becomes 4wd when the rear wheels achieve excess slip and the car then sends up to 50% of the power to the front wheels to regain traction. GODZILLA!
its actually rwd until the rear axle detects excessive slip and it can then send uo to 50% of the power to the front. but a common modification is to wire a toggle switch into the awd fuse so you can disable the awd system all together by the flick of a switch and have rwd fun, hence the ability to drift the car in this video Venom Snake
yeah I tend to agree with you too I do heel and toe sometimes and I do feel the difference it's smoother. it's the synchros that can take damages (and also the clutch obviously) and when you're "heel and toeing" you do the job of the synchros simple as that :) but hey, when driving an everyday car at 60mph it's not really important but has to be done when racing. indeed
Learn to downshift properly and heel and toe before your corners. Will get you better times and ur clutch, gearbox and engine will thank you after a hard run on the track. Too many people out there with powerful cars that really can't put the time in to learn proper driving. Why put so much time and money into mods when making urself a better driver and learning proper cornering and rev matching will give you better results out of a car.
647killa He's obviously not racing here, man. This is just a cruise and a bit of a squirt. Probably best to wait to se ehow he actually races before unfurling your diploma of UA-cam and handing out the advice.
Except you can dish out money and have it converted to LHD. A good example is the UAE, where RHD must be converted to LHD. If you look at this guy's dash you can see it's aftermarket.
LOLHICRONO Ah, I never knew anything about the other countries lol. But I do agree, I did notice the weird-ish dash, not condemning this guy, as hes got a nice car, but still weird seein an R32 with lhd lol
I agree with you that it is mainly used in races because it helps you break not only using breaks. Wheel blocking wont happen unless you hit the brakes very hard. But downshifting without using tip-heel could cause several problems to the car being transmission the most affected one and also the clutch .If you try the same downshifting both ways, you will feel the difference in the gearbox, try it. I can assure you that the gearbox can suffer some damage, doing downshifts with clutch only.
if its abrupt letting go of the clutch upon down shifting, damage can occur in both the gearbox and clutch, on the long term your conrod bearings also suffer but this is minimal 'wear and tear' however if you slowly let go of the clutch upon downshifting it shouldnt damage the gearbox or the bearings at all.. it will only affect the clutch plate because its wearing due to the difference in rotational speed. so its slipping essentially. this is not ideal but like i said reduces the likely hood of damaging other components.
it doesn't have a blow off valve. thats the sound you get when you dont have one, the pressure between the thottle body and the turbo has nowhere to go when the throttle body is closed so the air comes out of the turbo itself.
Thank you, I was actually wondering who was right, because I've been told so much about this car and everybody thinks they know everything. Thanks man.
That flutter or dose sound is when the bov isnt capable of dispersing enough boost pressure, thus causing the boost to go back out through the compressor, known as compressor stall. though I'd love a bov that dumped like that :)
heh you can always tell a seasoned racer from a newbie by the way their heads move, the drivers head is as solid as a rock while the passengers is moving around everywhere. Goes to show you how strong their neck muscles get.
First off, nice car! Im a fan of skylines, but Im not particularly fond of right hand drive vehicles. I noticed that, when you let off of the throttle, you can hear the turbo make a kind of sputtering noise. You probably already know this, but this is caused by leftover pressure from your turbo having no place to go once your throttle closes. This results in your pressurized air surging and pushing back on the turbo, which can be harmful to your turbo. I would recommend a better BOV.
i meant as in there are lhd skylines out there, russia is a good example that some countries only allow the registering of lhd cars, i know that this video is from norway, which it was* possible to register rhd cars in, but not anymore
Yep, but when driving a manual gearbox (like myself), if you are going to downshift, a tap to the gas pedal should be made right after pressing the clutch... that way revs go up a little bit and shifting is smoother. Downshifting without the tap to the gas pedal could turn up in serious car damage to the gearbox and engine. Take a look at this vid to see how this guy does it using a technique called Heel-and-toe (this car has clutch too)... v=73MvmT5C-ik
Whatever that wagon is that was in front of him (Subaru maybe?) was definitely a sleeper. That thing was accelerating and sliding around the curves like a freakin boss!
my neighbor has an r32 gts-t, which he said was a pain in the @$$ to register. its garage kept and he only drives it to the grocery store due to the strict laws here in cali, and fear of seize/impound. he was going to put an ls1 in it, but instead swapped in an rb26dett from an r34 (from japan). I drove it to 7-11 once, and it got more eyes than a Lamborghini aventador in Hollywood blvd. it's really comfortable, plus the shifter is nice and smooth.
i'd say it's a 240sx coupe, that someone modified to appear as a skyline, and as we can all tell, it is far from being a GTR. GTR is AWD not rear, and if anything, it could be a GTS-T that was converted to left hand drive using 240sx steering bits
It's a GTR, not sure why you would think it's a 240sx coupe, GTR's are also RWD bias and when you add a bunch of power doing slides like this is very easy.
True :/ I don't get why people hate on Rota, those wheels are already right. Now maybe weight/strength ratio will change, but for heavy rims I guess you're right : Rotas will perfectly do the job.
ALL GTRS ARE AWD YOU CAN GET THE DRIVETRAIN REPLACEMENT KIT SO YOU CAN MAKE IT RWD, OR SIMPLY REMOVE THE 10-15 WATT 4WD FUSE RB20DE & RB20 DET'S ARE ORIGINALLY IN R32'S BETTER KNOWN AS A GTS & GTS-T
its bov flutter. not surge. it happens at low boost when someone uses a strong bov spring so it doesnt get blown open at higher boost pressure. i get bov flutter all day at anything less than 10 psi.
why are people flaming his driving skills? It's far from the usual crap I see here on youtube + he clearly is gently with his skyline and not ragging the living *** out of it.
the rb26 came stock in gtr r32, gtr r33 , gtr r34.... only difference between 32,33 and 34 is that the 32 and 33 were 5 spd and 34 was 6 spd. this GTR has a single turbo rb26 under the hood...
Have to wonder though, where did he get a left hand drive Skyline. To the best of my knowledge they were only ever for the Japanese/Asia Pacific market and never made for North America. Unless some of the European variants were left hand? Or is this a Silvia(240ZX) conversion?
That's technically the same as no blow off valve then. If the throttle body closes the air has to go somewhere so it recirculates back into the turbo. Either way its bad for the turbo since its hitting against the turbos fins.
I have a question if anyone can answer, you know the sound the turbo makes right in the beginning as soon as he pulls off to start the lap, when he lets go of the gas to shift to the next gear, like at 1:09, I want to know does it matter how big the engine is in order for that sound to be louder and more clear? or does it depend on how strong the turbo is? or what is it that makes that 'turbo sound', sound so clear
yea but how come some cars do that spooling up sound, while others just do a "shhh" sound where it just sounds like air coming out, kind of like a minimized sound a truck makes when it stops
ok thanks, but why in some other cars it just sounds like one "shhhh" sound while this video the car's turbo blow off sounds like "CH CH ch ch" if you can understand me lol
DriftXperience27 when it makes the flutter sound it's compressor surge and the noise is air blowing backwards through the moving turbo. When its a solid "Whoosh" noise its a blowoff valve letting that air out before it reaches the turbo.
THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing. He can't double clutch, he's running it too rich and he's short shifting. With a car like that you would think he would at least know how to drive it.
dude I know this technique since many years now.. even when racing, heel and toe is only done to prevent wheel blocking due to the massive engine blocking appearing on downshifting, and it only saves the gearbox when gears are straight cutted in the case of this video, I don't hear any transmission whining (gears are probably not straight cutted so there are synchros), and that guy is nearly cruising on the track and braking gently so there's absolutely no reason to heel and toe
A perfect example of why you dont go all out on a track like this ( lots of slower traffic) is around the 4:15 mark unless you want to end up in a wreck. His hand position is fine, whatever is most comfortable for the driver to control the car usually works best. I'll tell you what is lame, your comment.
Depending on where you're from. If you were to drive on the correct side of the road (the left side) then a right hand side would be preferable, whereas if you;re driving on the Right side of the road (the incorrect way) then a Left hand Drive would be preferable.
This is a good video, well shot. The car is very nice indeed, but let's be clear about the soundgasm. I have ridden in these types of cars for hundreds of miles, the sound gets old fast. You can't even hear the engine, just rushing air, the blow-off valve, and the drone of an aftermarket muffler on a 6 cylinder (Supras included). A soundgasm would be a naturally aspirated engine such as an F1 car or a n.a. 911 on a road coarse such as the one you see in the video. But otherwise, props!
Whenever I'm having a bad day - I turn on this video, put on my headphones, close my eyes, lean back and let all my worries slip away. Thank you.
Never seen a LHD r32 before
+DP Snead Homemade
Earl Sweatjacket there are alot LHD r32 in the philippines bro
Earl Sweatjacket same is it a conversion ?
The Stigs Guyanese Cousin yes it is but u can find alot of converted ones in philipines
a lot of LHD converted r32s here in the gulf countries (DUBAI for idiots)
Finally found it. R32 Skyline, never even crossed my mind. Still, this thing sounds amazing.
Agreed on the practicing of rev matching on the down shifts. If I was going to drive a 600hp GTR I would be learning to heel toe pretty quickly after going through a few clutches.
Nice driving! Respect to the others on the track. You have a rad car and nice skills!

Kudos to the Skyline, the driver and the editor.
312 people drive r32 golfs'
very nice video, awesome car (except the paint ;)), but very crowded track :) This skylines are my motivation to earn money!
When did they make a R32 Left hand drive?
He got it converted from RHD to LHD... Not a cheap process...
I think i read in the comments that the video was just flipped
Then the license plates on the cars ahead would be flipped too? Didn't look like they were
Andrew Rilley Look at the handbrake, its on the left side witch is stock placement
It's on the right... Look closer
If I recall correctly from a most recent driving instruction (because I enjoy updating techniques yearly), I believe his hands are in the correct position because they are in the drivers most comfortable area to maintain control of his vehicle.
Also, I don't believe I read where he was actually racing the car, but going through the RPM to allow the viewer to hear the sound of the car, causing the catchword "soundgasm," which it captures greatly.
Nice skyline but LOOK AT THAT WAGON
that wagon has some moves LOL
Lol
This is honestly one of my favorite car videos on youtube
why can't we get these LHD cars in Canada??? I've never seen one! this is something I would buy should I get the opportunity.
Must be converted to LHD
+SerenityNow add me on skype : xikawa i can tell you where you get them
I have a lhd converted r32 gtr that i would sell, provided i can figure out a way to export it out of my home country, Chile. How much would you pay for one?
+Jano.RS13 I'd pay 15,000 tops for a stock and more if it's modified
+dyllman98 mine would be BPU i guess, wanna know more? write me: drlightspeed at msn.com
now it's mainly used when racing as it allows the motor to be in the right rev range after a downshift (and so less engine braking and no wheel blocking). not doing it doesnt mean that the gearbox is going to be damaged
Heel Toe Pls - No soundgasm without rev matching
the catback camera showing the flames gave me goosebumps :P
dident even know a left hand drive existed
+mrdriver511 You can get almost any car converted.
As you can see the dash has been chopped and glued back.
incredible, so much power under your control.. intense.
I think he's a good driver, but strange event. Half drift school half track day. Some nice cars though!
It's not about travelling at the speed of light. It's about having fun
It's a AWD drift you knobs. If you knew anything you would know that 600hp can easily break traction on street tyres and the fact that he's even got traction, bar giving it heaps on the corner but can't hold the drift and he has to hammer down to drive it out, it's obvious. Do your research on stock gts-t's. Nice car/driving A++
A stock r32 rb20det could drift that corner easily all day long on less than half the amount of hp..
It's rwd drifting. On the r32 gtr you just wire a switch to the awd fuse so you can switch between awd and rwd.
Also the r32 is rwd 99% of the time anyway, it only becomes 4wd when the rear wheels achieve excess slip and the car then sends up to 50% of the power to the front wheels to regain traction. GODZILLA!
A GTS-T has RWD not AWD
+hilldawg the R32 GTR is entirely AWD, yes there is a rear bias to the power, but it's more like 65% not 99%
its actually rwd until the rear axle detects excessive slip and it can then send uo to 50% of the power to the front. but a common modification is to wire a toggle switch into the awd fuse so you can disable the awd system all together by the flick of a switch and have rwd fun, hence the ability to drift the car in this video Venom Snake
Still up for grabs for a better driver! We still
yep,,,,, left hand drive skyline
дима Васильев at least is still a skyline right?
R32 awesomeness... sweet driving skills too, for a moment it looked like organised chaos out there on the track!
uff too much smoke, guide valves?
yeah I tend to agree with you too
I do heel and toe sometimes and I do feel the difference it's smoother.
it's the synchros that can take damages (and also the clutch obviously) and when you're "heel and toeing" you do the job of the synchros

he was not racing ? bad brakes ? why he should corner that hard ?
thats something i noticed first when '' he '' downshift
647killa He's obviously not racing here, man. This is just a cruise and a bit of a squirt. Probably best to wait to se ehow he actually races before unfurling your diploma of UA-cam and handing out the advice.
Antifaith29 He is a very good driver! I have seen him on gatebil
I literally loved the video! Thank you, it was amazing!
3:19 3:26 really?-_-"
that sound is my destiny.....dream car right here and now bro. thumbs miles up ;D
R32 gtr was never left hand drive
Exactly my point!
Except you can dish out money and have it converted to LHD. A good example is the UAE, where RHD must be converted to LHD. If you look at this guy's dash you can see it's aftermarket.
LOLHICRONO Ah, I never knew anything about the other countries lol. But I do agree, I did notice the weird-ish dash, not condemning this guy, as hes got a nice car, but still weird seein an R32 with lhd lol
Probably swapped from a GTS. Their steering systems are pretty much identical.
The GTS wasn't LHD either I don't think. (I'm from America, so these cars coveted and rare here, so I could be wrong)
This was filmed at Gatebil. That station wagon probably had around 10,000hp.
5:18

This guy is afraid .
I think it's the first lap.
i dont subscribe often... but when i do its for videos that are of the highest quality like this one
smoke out the exhaust is due to high compression rates on most tuned cars, not because they are badly tuned. Oil gets burned.
That turbo sounds amazing.
it doesn't have a blow off valve.
thats the sound you get when you dont have one, the pressure between the thottle body and the turbo has nowhere to go when the throttle body is closed so the air comes out of the turbo itself.
I love how he describes the sound of the car "soundgasm" xD
read my mind. you saved me extra keystrokes. this vid had so much potential
Thank you, I was actually wondering who was right, because I've been told so much about this car and everybody thinks they know everything. Thanks man.
that's quite a nice vocabulary you got there .. i'm pretty sure you have a skyline too and you know how to drive way more better than anyone else .
in a gtr skyline you can change it from awd to rwd by pulling a fuse out or make a switch like people have been doing
That flutter or dose sound is when the bov isnt capable of dispersing enough boost pressure, thus causing the boost to go back out through the compressor, known as compressor stall. though I'd love a bov that dumped like that :)
I love how that old ford he overtakes in the end actually keeps up (see left mirror)
heh you can always tell a seasoned racer from a newbie by the way their heads move, the drivers head is as solid as a rock while the passengers is moving around everywhere. Goes to show you how strong their neck muscles get.
I could listen to this sweet musical instrument all day rb forever
Sweet gtr that thing is a beast,awesome video.
you forget about the hicas lock out kit, its all part of the 4wd in a gtr, dont forget the things you can get too choose between 4wd and rwd aswell.
love hearing the turbos spooling up
Loving the sierra cosworth estate. He couldn't catch him until he stopped racing. Cossie fan :)
You can never be too carefull when it is busy on the track !
I think it stands for gran turismo (grand touring) racer, the engine is an RB26
First off, nice car! Im a fan of skylines, but Im not particularly fond of right hand drive vehicles. I noticed that, when you let off of the throttle, you can hear the turbo make a kind of sputtering noise. You probably already know this, but this is caused by leftover pressure from your turbo having no place to go once your throttle closes. This results in your pressurized air surging and pushing back on the turbo, which can be harmful to your turbo. I would recommend a better BOV.
because of excess unburnt fuel usually, doesnt do it when its spinning at 3000RPM plus just when its at lower revs due to the fuelling set up i guess
"You're" the 10th person to say that lol
also in some parts of europ they did make left hand drive skylines very rare to see one tho
es gibt kein auto wo der sound so geil ist wie dieser echt heftig ----> that video are awesome Perfect *
i meant as in there are lhd skylines out there, russia is a good example that some countries only allow the registering of lhd cars, i know that this video is from norway, which it was* possible to register rhd cars in, but not anymore
GTR R32 has ATTESA system and its considered a AWD car
but essentially is a RWD car that can become AWD when is needed
Could be that or a disconnected MAF sensor, but the engine definately sounds fine.
Idk what it is but that flutter is my favorite song
there are skylines out there that are left had drive i think a few came in NZ and england but their extremely rare.
That car sounds beautiful...
Yep, but when driving a manual gearbox (like myself), if you are going to downshift, a tap to the gas pedal should be made right after pressing the clutch... that way revs go up a little bit and shifting is smoother. Downshifting without the tap to the gas pedal could turn up in serious car damage to the gearbox and engine.

You must understand the attessa system my friend
He doesn't really need to heel-toe on an AWD car that can pretty much slide with just throttle and steering. The power does it all.
This is easily the coolest car on that track.
interesting interior swapping. made the original lhd. great work. he should share how its made.
True :/ I don't get why people hate on Rota, those wheels are already right. Now maybe weight/strength ratio will change, but for heavy rims I guess you're right : Rotas will perfectly do the job.
ALL GTRS ARE AWD
YOU CAN GET THE DRIVETRAIN REPLACEMENT KIT SO YOU CAN MAKE IT RWD, OR SIMPLY REMOVE THE 10-15 WATT 4WD FUSE
RB20DE & RB20 DET'S ARE ORIGINALLY IN R32'S
BETTER KNOWN
AS A GTS & GTS-T
It's the BOV that will ruin the turbo.
Because the turbo is being used as the BOV.
its bov flutter. not surge. it happens at low boost when someone uses a strong bov spring so it doesnt get blown open at higher boost pressure. i get bov flutter all day at anything less than 10 psi.
FUUUCKING awesome!!
i miss my skyline goddamnit..:(
AlphaMuscle what happened to it?
why are people flaming his driving skills? It's far from the usual crap I see here on youtube
+ he clearly is gently with his skyline and not ragging the living *** out of it.
the rb26 came stock in gtr r32, gtr r33 , gtr r34.... only difference between 32,33 and 34 is that the 32 and 33 were 5 spd and 34 was 6 spd. this GTR has a single turbo rb26 under the hood...
This thing is actually perfect
H&T is always needed if not for clutch life for balance and stability and just making yourself a better driver....
Have to wonder though, where did he get a left hand drive Skyline. To the best of my knowledge they were only ever for the Japanese/Asia Pacific market and never made for North America. Unless some of the European variants were left hand? Or is this a Silvia(240ZX) conversion?

ok thanks, but why in some other cars it just sounds like one "shhhh" sound while this video the car's turbo blow off sounds like "CH CH ch ch" if you can understand me lol
DriftXperience27 when it makes the flutter sound it's compressor surge and the noise is air blowing backwards through the moving turbo. When its a solid "Whoosh" noise its a blowoff valve letting that air out before it reaches the turbo.
Ohhhh thank you soo much i get it now.
I've been dreaming of owning a R32 GTR since I was 8... I'm 22 now and I still dream about it.
how to find a track like this to practice on?
Everytime I search for a racetrack on google maps all I get is NASCAR stuff and some gas station.
THANK YOU! I was thinking the same thing. He can't double clutch, he's running it too rich and he's short shifting. With a car like that you would think he would at least know how to drive it.
dude I know this technique since many years now..
even when racing, heel and toe is only done to prevent wheel blocking due to the massive engine blocking appearing on downshifting, and it only saves the gearbox when gears are straight cutted
in the case of this video, I don't hear any transmission whining (gears are probably not straight cutted so there are synchros), and that guy is nearly cruising on the track and braking gently so there's absolutely no reason to heel and toe
I think some guy builds them in the USA, he makes replicas of the RHD version. Very rare, it's not factory.
A perfect example of why you dont go all out on a track like this ( lots of slower traffic) is around the 4:15 mark unless you want to end up in a wreck. His hand position is fine, whatever is most comfortable for the driver to control the car usually works best. I'll tell you what is lame, your comment.
correct me if im wrong but i believe some were made left hand drive for certain country's
@MofexGaming each time you shift and especially downshift the clutch get damaged, proof is that you get engine braking..
From reading all the comments it seems like everyone watching this is a top pro racing driver.
Depending on where you're from. If you were to drive on the correct side of the road (the left side) then a right hand side would be preferable, whereas if you;re driving on the Right side of the road (the incorrect way) then a Left hand Drive would be preferable.
Asim is back to Gatebil this year after the horrific incident he had last year.
Nice, I need to film some more R32's this year
This is a good video, well shot. The car is very nice indeed, but let's be clear about the soundgasm. I have ridden in these types of cars for hundreds of miles, the sound gets old fast. You can't even hear the engine, just rushing air, the blow-off valve, and the drone of an aftermarket muffler on a 6 cylinder (Supras included). A soundgasm would be a naturally aspirated engine such as an F1 car or a n.a. 911 on a road coarse such as the one you see in the video. But otherwise, props!
cool amount of videos uploaded
