a motor on a tubed chassi cant really be compared to a full road car, stick that motor in somthing of a similar weight and just laugh at how much it sucks.

still pretty cool tho, racing from a roll, lol

i'd hardly call this "mind blowing"... just look at the power to weight ratio. I'd rather a full bodied car with all the luxury trims and still be damn quick.. than that kit car with "free" air conditioning :)

another aussie tryin to make a buck in america... tsk tsk

another KIWI inventing something amazing in the motor world... much like the guy who invented the jet boat and Mr. Britten who made a motorbike in his shed which was years ahead of its time.

the power to weight ratio isnt that much better then a Ferrari or the Porka and as stated its based on the Atom which is a road legal car.

the batteries in this version weigh over 250kgs alone from memory... id definately have one as a nice weekend track toy.

Power to weight advantage where????

Porka GT = 605BHP and 3000lbs

Aerial X1 = 300Bhp and 1500lbs

wheres the advantage? its at a disadvantage by my calculations as it has less then half the power but half the weight

dont like the way they compare it to full size cars, y not compare it to a Hayabusa or R1?

probably cause its not a motorbike?

so if they invented a mini that ran 10s from factory they shouldnt compare it to s super saloon?

its merely to show what you can achieve using alternate fuels. A point that seems to escape most people. The car is ELECTRIC. Performance electric cars are few and far between unless you count that ugly 600kw 6 wheeled japanese thing.

Exactly what inark said, the point of the clip was to examine the potential of alternative powers sources other than fossil fuels. One day there wont be any petrol to burn and we'll all prob be driving these 11 sec things. Another thing to consider is the price of petrol versus plugging your car in the wall for a few hours. As time goes on and technology progresses the weight on the batteries will come down aswell as provide more power.

Also there is no advantage, the power to weight is about the same anyway, WTF are you guys on??

    • Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience 
    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
