Default Best Motoring 6/2004 featuring Nismo Z S-tune GT

Just got this DVD today and watched it.

This DVD test the Nismo Z S-Tune GT (long nose that most people don't like)

I can't understand much japanese because there is no Subtitle.

But all i know that in performance term by comparing to stock 0-100kmh and Quater mile is almost identical except quater mile Nismo Z only 0.100 sec faster than Stock.

They do Cone test on high speed. From what i see the Nismo Z can to 160 kmh as Stock can only do 150 kmh. Therefore it's 10 kmh faster.

On track Starting Grid:
1. Renault Clio Sport V6 (MR)
2. Mazdaspeed RX8
3. Lotus Elise 111R
4. Nismo Z S-Tune GT
5. Honda Integra Type-R
6. BMW M3 CSL
7. Lancer EVO VIII MR

Track condition was wet at 7.8 Degree Celcius

Finish Grid:
1. BMW M3 CSL
2. Lancer EVO VIII MR
3. Nismo Z S-Tune GT (Overtaken by EVO on second last corner lap)
4. Lotus Elise 111R
5. Renault Clio sport V6 (MR)
6. Mazdaspeed RX8
7. Honda Integra Type-R

They have praise alot on the Nismo S-tune GT as a evolution car. (at least what i think they said )

I think the Nismo GT has done a very good job. Where as the Mazdaspeed RX8 is a waste of money. Because it's slower on 0-400m compare to stock, but slightly faster on 0-100 kmh run by 0.100 sec compare to stock.

here is the link and the Trial of the Video:

Looks like a wicked DVD. I notice they're having a mini-van race.

Also check out the "Rotary Reborn" volume. The have a small segment on some slightly tuned Z's

TUNED Z FACE-OFF - Since the release of the "New Z," many tuners have been competing to come up with the best "Tuned Z". Gathered here are three Zs that are ready to be put under the microscope by no other than the Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya himself. Tsuchiya takes the Mines, Boss and Espirit Zs for a drifting impression. Then the three Zs are challenged to a face-off at Tsukuba against the Amuse S2000 and the Yumekobo S15 Silvia

yea, I just got the Rotary Reborn yesterday, and I must say it is a GREAT BUY! It has several testing with G35's, RX-8's, Rx8VSRX7, S2K's, S15, togue battles, tuned Z battle.

It also shows a silverstone Espirit car that is unbelievable! it has HKS TT setup pushing 490hp..NICE!

Lots of good tuned Z drifting footage!

I give it a 5 out of 5..when I bought it I wasnt expecting it being this good!

Did you download the RX8 Tune race and Amuse 350Z?

Also i'm hoping those who downloaded it at least let the Torrent ON so people can download it and share it. There are no SEED on the Intro Nismo GT file

I guess no one Interested on the Intro Nismo GT, because it showing the feature and comparing it to stock.

Cheers
