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.

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
