I dont know what all these CON bussiness is about, im not too familiar with the Ring, but i doubt Nissan would do a 'dodgy' and promote it for the whole world to see specially with so much scrutiny and people anticipating the launch of the GTR, i think someone wanted to know the comparisons between the V8 super cars and the new GTR:

Nissan GT-R

Performance: 0-100km/h 3.7secs, 308km/h top speed

Price: $120,000 (estimated)

VS:

V8 Supercar: 3.8 secs (Ford Team Vodafone), 4.0 secs (Holden Toll Racing), from $400,000-$500,000

and yes i know this isn't a very fair comparison, but still gives you an idea of the GTR's potential. Keep in mind that the GTR is a road car with all the trimmings (which add weight)

If only they would change the rules again in Bathurst again :P it would be like the early 1990's all over again, but im sure the 'the pack of assholes' might have something to say about that :)

not a chance

V8 taxicars are here to stay as they are 'till kingdom come

in all their 5 litre, pushrod, live-axle glory

(notice how much [the Fords in particular] don't even remotely resemble the road cars mechanically anymore...hmmm)

Back to the topic guys......leave the guy alone.

He made a mistake......

He should apologize for this and move on...at least that is what I would do...

Silence is assumed to be a poor trait amongst men.

It is fine for women though :P

actually its the bommodores that are less like production spec, they run ford rear diff and ford front suspension (wishbones) instead of the bommadore struts. But I think we have picked on the poor misguided foo' enough already, right?

Lets also not forget that despite the fact that the Taxis are pretty much sports sedans now the race record for the Bathurst 1000 is still held by the GroupA (Damn near factory compared to V8 Camiras, I mean Supercars) GTR... and before anyone thinks they did a dodgy here too, (because of course Holden and Ford would never pay Cams to fix a series) the race where they set the record WAS NOT the rain shortended one and did include the Chase.

And now, 16 years on the Taxis are still not as quick as a production GTR.. (yes I am sure that a lap of Bathurst by a stock GTR would be slower than a Taxi, but lets see it in racing trim)

Reading Wheels this month they state that the 911 GT2 has now posted a 7:32 in response to the GTR's time....

damn those germans!

i don't think the GTR was built to beat the GT2's time, but just wait till the v-spec/nur/evo version is released...........

Agreed. The entry model R35GTR is really aimed at the luxury equiped 911 Turbo not the GT3 or GT2. But R35 GTR N1 anyone? :P

Wheels' finger on the pulse is comparable to a mortician.

porsche_gt2_nurburgring_time.jpg

that "response to the GT-R's time" set by the GT2 was back in August, well before Nissan's lap time was set. The GT-R set out to take on the 911 Turbo's time, and it did it, but then it was suggested that they might gun for the GT2's time seeing as they were so close to it... would have been a bonus, but not the point of the exercise.

Goddamn Wheels is like the Today Tonight or Current Affair of motoring journalism... sensationalist badly researched garbage.

Australian motoring "journalism" has been this way for years and will continue to be this way. It's the "bare minimum" approach to research whereby rumours are treated as facts and opinions are reality.

What I'm personally really waiting for is to see the new car in tarmac events Like Targa Tassie, maybe even with some official Factory support to match Subaru's effort etc. Wonder what it would take to get Jimmy outa the Porka............

Suspicion conformed..............

Direct from the GTR chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno

RE: TOKYO 2007: THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

Those words were selected carefully from the true comment below. The above comment is false.

"Mizuno claimed a time of 7minutes 38 seconds, compared with 7:43 for a Porsche 911 GT3 and 7:32 for a Carrera GT, but he was anxious to point out that there had been "two wet patches on the circuit." Indeed, he mentioned the "wet patches" so many times that you wondered why Nissan simply hadn't waited for a dry day. Mizuno reckoned that a time of around 7:30 should have been possible in the dry, but that going much faster would have required hand-cut slicks, which isn't "real world." Bizarrely, Nissan admitted to having different test drivers for different lapping. While Chief Test Driver Toshio Suzuki operates in the 7:30-7:40 range, his right-hand man is a 7:40-7:50 man."

Two different quotes and two different interpretations.

Now if you believe that using cut slicks would enable the GTR into the 7:30 then your dreaming.

We shall see when the first production GTR actually tries to tackle the ring, whether or not its as fast as the CGT.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
