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.
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.
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
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 :-)
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
This reminds me of playing the Gran Tursimo video games. If you have no driving skills, just have a car that's powerful enough to haul ass in the straights to make up for it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.

312 people drive r32 golfs'
Nice driving! Respect to the others on the track. You have a rad car and nice skills!
very nice video, awesome car (except the paint ;)), but very crowded track :) This skylines are my motivation to earn money!
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!

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
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.
the catback camera showing the flames gave me goosebumps :P
Heel Toe Pls - No soundgasm without rev matching
It's not about travelling at the speed of light. It's about having fun
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
I literally loved the video! Thank you, it was amazing!
I think he's a good driver, but strange event. Half drift school half track day. Some nice cars though!
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.
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!
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
i dont subscribe often... but when i do its for videos that are of the highest quality like this one
uff too much smoke, guide valves?
Still up for grabs for a better driver! We still
This guy is afraid .
I think it's the first lap.
that sound is my destiny.....dream car right here and now bro. thumbs miles up ;D

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
incredible, so much power under your control.. intense.
5:18
I love how he describes the sound of the car "soundgasm" xD
3:19 3:26 really?-_-"
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 .

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
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

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)
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
read my mind. you saved me extra keystrokes. this vid had so much potential
I love how that old ford he overtakes in the end actually keeps up (see left mirror)
You can never be too carefull when it is busy on the track !
That turbo sounds amazing.
Sweet gtr that thing is a beast,awesome video.
I could listen to this sweet musical instrument all day rb forever

Loving the sierra cosworth estate. He couldn't catch him until he stopped racing. Cossie fan :)

FUUUCKING awesome!!
i miss my skyline goddamnit..:(
AlphaMuscle what happened to it?
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.
Idk what it is but that flutter is my favorite song
es gibt kein auto wo der sound so geil ist wie dieser echt heftig ----> that video are awesome Perfect *
love hearing the turbos spooling up
cool amount of videos uploaded
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.
I've been dreaming of owning a R32 GTR since I was 8... I'm 22 now and I still dream about it.
That car sounds beautiful...
This was filmed at Gatebil. That station wagon probably had around 10,000hp.
This reminds me of playing the Gran Tursimo video games. If you have no driving skills, just have a car that's powerful enough to haul ass in the straights to make up for it.
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.
This is easily the coolest car on that track.
I can watch this the whole day!!!!
Ugh!!!! That sounds so awesome!!!!!!!!!
This thing is actually perfect
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.
smoke out the exhaust is due to high compression rates on most tuned cars, not because they are badly tuned. Oil gets burned.
this video made me thrilllll truely! i just love cars!
What a nice car! And a sweet sound :D !!!!
Nicely filmed :)
Nice, I need to film some more R32's this year
H&T is always needed if not for clutch life for balance and stability and just making yourself a better driver....
the last 30 seconds made my heart go like 5x faster no joke. un fucking real.
"You're" the 10th person to say that lol
interesting interior swapping. made the original lhd. great work. he should share how its made.
GTR R32 has ATTESA system and its considered a AWD car
but essentially is a RWD car that can become AWD when is needed
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
i love that westgate sound!!
i didnt catch that but that is one sweet ride R32 is a favorite of mine
Beautiful circuit
omg that sound JIZZZZZZZ
From reading all the comments it seems like everyone watching this is a top pro racing driver.
I like the backfire shot !
Brutal power, nothing else.
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.
also in some parts of europ they did make left hand drive skylines very rare to see one tho
Good driver and fast car. He is driving safe while having fun. Thats all it matters. All you GT5 commenters need to get a life
dang those turbos sound sweet
5:17 best part cant believe he drifted the car perfectly
Awesome background noise for my studying
soundgasm is a fuckin understatement holy fuck
Still alot to learn, but awesome car - good engine choice too
that wagon is sick
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.

Asim is back to Gatebil this year after the horrific incident he had last year.
Great video thank you poster, awesome R32. Excuse all the idiots who have clearly never been on a track day let alone near a track.
All that sounds and shiftings yet the station wagon pulling away..
That wagon was so much fun lol
wow very nice car! sounds so nice too! :)
