well Super GT (GT 500 class) are claimed to be the quickest GT cars in the world... "The mines GTR" is based on a modified street car and retains rego and a majority of standard body parts. a GT car is a 100% race car. This years GT500 class NSX are running turbos now too...

yeah, understand that. Just didnt realise how quick they actually were. I mean the Mines GTR is no slouch, it's a fckn quick car, but damn, those gt500 cars are insane

Race spec brake pads sometimes squeal because of the composition of them..its normal

I'm not sure what you mean by race spec brake pads, but the pads i run and others i track day with don't squeal like that when under heavy braking, under light braking yeah for sure... but when stomping on the brakes you don't normally give them a chance to squeel... i'm probably wrong tho :thumbsup:

my carbon/ceramic composite pads squeal like a bitch, cold/hot hard track braking/soft street braking doesn't matter. it sounds like a train. :thumbsup:

other race type pads I have had didn't do it, but these particular ones do. when up to temp though they still pull up nicely.

NSX does quite well, but it also has 50kg extra ballast compared to the rest as it is an MR. This years NSXs went back to 3.5L NA engines instead of 3L twin turbos though, or maybe they changed during the year or something, eitherway, they are running the NA engine now instead of the turbo. Seems like an odd choice...

A video of a JGTC NSX vs a Road Car?

How about they compare the last JGTC GTR running a VQ VS the JGTC NSX?

I'd like to see some holden and ford V8 supercars there as well showing their weight transfer

on the corner s :(

That would be an interesting race...

The footage is of Hot Version International 01 DVD; SPECIAL RUN IN TSUKUBA for Keiichi ‘Drift King’ Tsuchiya bids farewell to his professional racing career. He was trying to set an all time lap record in his ARTA NSX GT500.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
