    Guarantee you it's been done. And if it hasn't, I'm sure there's plenty that are more than capable. Just because you're so hung up on defending the almighty GTR doesn't mean an R34 doesn't have WAY more potential AS OF NOW. If you say otherwise, you=fanboy. Plain and simple. Down the road, I'm sure R35's will be built to catch up, but it's obviously not happening right now.

    lol why are u so hostile? im just responding to your facts. you say a car can do something... And you dont even know or have proof that the R34 has done so.

    And it HASNT! the best R34 street legal time was around 7:50, and that wasnt even certified. GTR makes Almost double the Hp of the R34 stock, and only weighs 300lbs more. R34 cant touch the R35 in stock form. R34 Doesnt even have alot of track racing victories under its belt as far as world records, and back to back victories. 1/4 mile, and time attack world records yes. The R32 and R33 are the ones with the impressive times and that was beating up on all the super cars on the track.

    im not defending anything but these crazy message board rumor/Facts your posting that arent even true. You entitled to your own opinion, but ill go back and forth with you on these facts.

    It hasn't been done. There is no proof of it ever being done. There are only a handful of vehicles under 7:30, most are either race cars or pretty much "kit" cars.

    Just b/c a car has more power does not mean faster lap times.

    I love the R34, fantastic car and a classic. The R35 simply takes it to another level stock. The R35s target was the Porsche 911 turbo.

    I totally agree the R34/33/32 are the ones for tuners. The R35 has a blackbox and as stated, tehy WILL void the warrenty at will if they want to. We have seen though people crack the box (Mine for example) and companies modify the car. BBS released 20 sets of LMs for the GT-R.

    It will take time but people will do it.
