AND THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH GOOD COMEDY VALUE A++ THREAD, WOULD READ AGAIN FOR SURE!!!!! (sarcasm not included)

true, true- but on most old 5-speed gearboxes, 4th gear war direct anyway, so actually only 1st, 2nd and 3rd would have seen prop shaft speeds below engine speed. the thing to consider is, with the current setup, the prop shaft will be under less load at high-speed, due to the fact that while it has to transmit the same huge twisting force required to push the car through the air at speed, it won't have as much centrifugal force acting on it at the same time the only draw back with this sort of setup with a normal gearbox, is that the synchros essentially have to "brake" the speed of the propshaft as well as the reciprocating mass of the engine before selecting the next higher gear. but due to the fact that it's made from carbon/kevlar and no doubt a lot lighter than steel, and that the DSG gear pre-selection eliminates most of the synchro wear, all is well.

i lol'd anywho- the choice is easy: VR any day and twice on sundays

what's not to bleev?

i've seen cars on NOS go down to 9 on a Dyno Dynamics screen when the fuel is added to compensate

i remember one of the concerns Holden had when they were going to put the HRT427 into production was that they might not be able to get the 100% CF bonnet to crumple in a head on collision like a steel or alu one would, and thereby posing a threat to occupants when the bonnet comes through the windscreen. the problem isn't strength, but a lack of deformability (i.e too much stiffness) like others have said- CF bonnets aren't illegal per se, but where can you buy an aftermarket one that has satisfied the ADR's with regards to crash regulations for your particular car?

hooooooge

anyway- the brakes are much better on later V12 Lambos (murcielago)....although that doesn't do him much good

two points here- *if anyone paid cash for one, they'd well and truly be able to afford pay-by-the month insurance *how on earth you gunna lease/get a loan for that much and not have it comp insured?

it's not like they could put a long divided intercooler in the back of the 911 bumper bar, with the exhaust and lack of airflow and whatnot all those bends look like a massive flow restriction shifty work on the part of HKS, Top Secret and Signal, eh? lol

*overheating *high pressure/bubbles in radiator *milky oil in sump/oily water in radiator *poor engine running *leakdown fault on one or more cylinders combinations of any and all will need to remove the head and get a reconditioner to rectify if it's the case

fook you mang /tony montana

compression ratio doesn't change

i want my moneh farken

i don't know why they don't just run the outlet from the turbo through a single divided long intercooler core and into the opposite bank of cylinders instead

my mouse had one click taken off it's life for that link i were so dissapointed

man there's some misunderstanding about the difference between 'lag' and the boost threshold of an engine the GT-R engine with standard turbos doesn't have much 'lag' at all- crack the throttle, and almost instantly the boost gauge will swing into positive pressure, even at low revs, showing that the turbos have a very good transient response time. the fact that they need to have some revs on board to make substantial boost and pull hard is no surprise when you combine a smallish capacity with a short stroke design. i'm sure if he was in 1st gear he would have escaped (or 2nd for a bigger roundabout) of course the R35 will have every petrol turbo engine Nissan has ever made completely whipped for low end torque- just look at the specs: 1.2 litres more capacity than a 26, 9.0:1 comp ratio, VVT, variable intake runners, and turbos about the same size as those on the old R34 engines anyway (they look to be) R32 engine ~ 353Nm @ 4400rpm R35 engine ~ 588Nm from 3200 to 5200rpm. that's what i call a tractable turbo engine (now they just need to pinch some VATN turbs from Porsche )

It's the new Midnight Club must have I'm sure Smoky Nagata is working on a 1500hp version as we speak

the new GT-R would look heaps better with a thumping great pair of twinned canards just where that little airflow shaping lump is on either side of the bar

no problem there with styling like that, it'll prolly cause crashes in Australia

the stripped out, tweaked up N1 or 'Evo' version (or whatever it'll be called) should address the issue somewhat but all cars add weight over time- the original Evo Lancer weighed about 1200kg, the current model now weighs the same as an R34 GT-R: blame higher levels of safety gear and insulation for NVH reduction, plus pandering to customers that expect luxuries and everything motorised.

those low-mount leds look coooool
