bring on the porsches i say!

They must have different Porsche's in QLD as down here a GT3 Carrera Cup will smash our times. One of our customers , John Webb, who races the new GT3 sequential job does a minute flat at Wakefield on full NEW slicks though.

Last year I got to go round as a passenger in a Porsche cup car at Philip Island.He was doing 1.45's,250kmh down the straight.I told him the speed and acceleration didnt overly impress me as I drove down in a 600hp GTR,but the braking was out of this world,nothing I had ever experienced before.It was his first time at the Island,and we did 6 laps,but the braking,oh the braking.

He said his Porsche was making about 400hp,was around 1200kg I think,but the braking.

good work guys. nice to see mark and pete showing our melbourne cousins how we do it in nsw. mark and pete thanks for the calls and texts, your love was felt even though i was down with brisby in meihico.

congrats giant on top honours, that is a nice effort! to say the least.

i am still sorry i couldnt make it as my liver has been getting a bit cheeky lately and could have used a good smashing to show him who's boss.

exactly 400kg lighter makes all the difference in the workld to braking and mid corner grip, no doubt that the quick GTRs would have more power than most of the race cars I posted up. Probably only sports sedans with the 6litre chev 700hp = 530kw at the fly would have more power than a quick GTR

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
