In 1999, Nissan conducted a test for the GT-R R34 on the Nürburgring Nordscheleife. The car ran a 7:52 minutes lap time, driven by Nissan's test driver Kazuo Shimizu. The car broke the GT-R R33 V-Spec's record which was the fastest road-legal series production car and second fastest road-legal production car around the track at the time
HOW THE HELL GT-R R34 lap time 8:28.10 when Nissan's Test Driver, Mr. Kazuo Shimizu recorded lap time at 7.52...

Realize that the BNR34 top speed was limited to 180KMH/112MPH? and with Nurburgring having a super long back straight, that's a serious disadvantage, then again, the predecessor of the BNR34, the BCNR33 did the Nur in 7:59/8:01 depends on which version you trust, and the BNR32 did it in 8:20, which makes zero sense why would the BNR34 did it in 8:28 when the run was made in identical conditions to the BCNR33 or BNR32 run

They're not even remotely logical competitors. One is a turbo 6, the other a turbo 4. One is awd/longitudinal, the other fwd/transverse. One is a D-segment luxury coupe, the other a C-segment sports coupe. One can easily be tuned to 500-800hp, the other can barely handle 450hp. Besides the fact that they are 10 years apart!
