Its already got equal or better brakes and a good powertrain and chassis. A stock skyline gtr, for example, beat a 911 turbo at Nurburgring, with less power. Same concept.
Ummm.... no. The r33 skyline holds a slower time than even the new carrera s. Has less powerful brakes (much less). Where does your info come from?

Here's a slightly outdated list of nurburgring's top 10

7:32 - Porsche Carrera GT (7:32.44)
7:44 - Zonda
7:46 - Porsche 996 GT2

7:52 - GT3 (381hp)

7:52 - Mercedes SLR mclaren
