geez you guys really need to get your shit together.. the r32 platform may have been released a few months before the GTR, but the GTR shell was only built for 1 purpose and that was to go racing... All other derivatives where in place so it didnt look as suss... can u imagine they release only a GTR?? too suss

They were never going to go racing with the 2lt.. it was intended for a 2.4lt

The awd wasnt flogged from porsche.. they have never built an infinite ratio awd system.

The R33 GTR was released a whole year later and it was based on a passenger platform.. hence y it is so slow compared to the R32 and R34.

And another thing.. the rules WERE changed to exclude the GTR from racing. If u dont think so, have a chat to a guy called Mel @ the kangan batman tafe... He had a big role back then :unsure:

Right, Nissan built a bunch of street cars to hide some vast conspiracy about....a race car or something? Dude, I think the warmer weather is causing your tinfoil hat to bake your brain. You're making less sense than your average "coverup" crackpot.

No, but Porsche was the first company to try running an asymmetric AWD system...at least in a production car.

The Quattro, VR-4, etc ran the same torque split front to rear using mechanical limited slip differentials. The Porsche 959 was the first sports car to try using electronic control of those differentials to actively control that torque split, with an 80% rear bias under "normal" conditions.

ATTESSA went one step further and did a 100% rear bias, but clearly its an evolution of the asymmetric AWD concept pioneered by Porsche rather than the revolution away from the same amount of power going to both ends of the vehicle that had been the norm for AWD vehicle prior.

If u dont think so, have a chat to a guy called Mel @ the kangan batman tafe... He had a big role back then :unsure:

Right, some bloke now working at a TAFE used to be a committee member of the FIA? What, he finds dealing with pimply-faced youths more rewarding than an operational role in the world's premier motorsport organisation?

no, rather he builds australias fastest drag machines now instead :unsure: and yes they spent billions of dollars on R&D to produce the limited run of GTRS just like the rest of world does on its outright race cars

GTR was built only to beat everything on the track.

From what I can gather you guys love the skyline being rank number 9 in the world....LOL.

I find it amazing how many car experts we have....the worlds best are right here...

So was it a good ideal to place the car in the field at all?

As for putting down all that hp off the line is another thing entirely. Would need some pretty good slicks!

diablo was put into production long after the GTR. so no, it wasn't the attesa pioneer.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
