220 pounds is a good start...But if ( I hope ) they release an N1 version I would want to see a bit more weight than that out of it.Fully gutted...Carbon kevlar race buckets...Carbon panels, titanium exhaust etc

There is a heap of crap in them that isnt Necessary. They should make them the same way lotus make there cars.

lets not get started on lotus and how much their new concept car fails.

lotus eagle; the 4 seat mid engined car which is scheduled to be on show in 2009/10

However, if this at all gives an indication of what it will look like, i really am not impressed.

possible spy shots

yeah it needs to drop way more than 220 pounds

more like 500 if its going to match the GT3 for example blow for blow.

The GTR is a fat bastard at the moment.

Dude, the GT-R was quicker than the GT3 in the BM vid on youtube, could you imagine what would happen if it weighed the same as the GT3???

i reckon its just someones personal race special.

grille removed, rear bar removed, tow hook out of bonnet.....

interior stripped out, and light weight cage in.

I highly doubt it from the shots ive just seen...

Busy bees at Nissan motorsport...

looks hot.

Mate, a one lap dash around the Ring is one thing. There are massive straights there to allow the GTR to cool its brakes.. but The GTR was CLEARLY losing ground hand over fist to the Lambo for example in that 5 lap Tsukuba battle where there isnt enough road to give it time to cool off.

It needs to go on a diet, im pretty sure many will agree.

the numbers say quite a bit for me, weight wise...

That's bullshit, it took the Lambo 4 laps to catch up to the GT-R, and Id say it was more the tyres that were cooked and not the brakes...

I guess the 'standard' GT-R didn't do too bad against a 'tuned' Gallardo which had more power and less weight...

Maybe the V-Spec would give that Gallardo a run for its money....

yes they did! well, sort of. they had it out on the track the day before nismo festival, but I saw it in the pits on the day of nismo festival. I would say it's a test either for super taikyu series or some other production based series, hell maybe even a GTR 1 make series (doubt that though).

Mate,

I'd have to disagree with you here, i wouldn't take BMI into account for 100%, maybe 60% and that's about it but don't get me wrong, i love those guys at BMI and the things that they do.

How is this GTR different to the standard one, dropped, rims changed, exterior changed blah blah- we're only speculating it's performance.

I'm not going to repeat what everyone else said, but i'm only holding my breath for when Nissan say, "OK guys, here's the V-Spec"

Exhaust is significantly different as well. Not much else is known. It's probably not the V-Spec yeah but a lot of the lessons learnt will go into the V-Spec I'd say.

hey? Just the very mention that Tsuchiya would have staged a fight is beyond unforgivable!

Ban!! :banana:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
