Spent yesterday watching the round 10 of the FIA GT car practising and i have to say these cars sound so much better than the F1 cars.

Was lucky enough to get within 20 metres of the track and the sound of the corvette and the spykers is just incredible.

Will post some pic later today

You F*%^&ing luck bastard

I have been trying to get over seas to see those beats for three years now. Were there any MC12's out there? its one of the last rounds that they can race in

the australian GT series will hopefully be getting bigger in the next couple of years, as well as another series but i can't say anything yet :P

The aston martins are just a high pitched scream as are the ferrari's. The best sounding cars are the corvette and the spykers.

Have attached a few pics but best part of the day i got 2 sets of worn slicks off one of the porsche teams have only done a few laps too. V happy about that

I haven't been to an FIA GT race, but I did go to the Japanese Super GT. And the sound they made at Fuji speedway (like a big amitheatre) was just amazing. Nothing like seeing Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsches, racing against hard tuned 350Z, NSX, Supra etc. just awesome.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
