"o Nissan got to enjoy a brief stint in the sun ahead of the 911 Turbo, only to have their 7:38 time in the new GT-R cast aside by the all new Porsche 911 GT2. It's only a matter of time before Nissan debuts their V-Spec, but for now the GT2 has the bragging rights."

Hopefully The V.Spec can Pull something out of the Bag.

When your driving around a track that is over 20 km around, goes up and down lots of hills and all over the place there are bound to be some damp spots.

and around and around and around we go

Nissan will probably focus on the V spec now and slash another 6 seconds off the clock.......then Porsche will go and bring out a special stripped out version of GT2 and shave another few seconds off that.....and then V spec 2 will beat the uber GT2 and the fight goes on.

A stripped out GT2??? have you seen a GT2? there's hardly anything in there to begin with

I was under the impression GT2 still had some stuff left in there

I only remember the GT3 being so bare that it would make a stripper blush.

I'm don't know porsches that well so I could be completely off the mark here

gotta compare apples with apples. It's GTR vs 911 Turbo (or even a base 911 really) and GTR V-Spec vs GT2/3, etc...

the GT2 had already recorded a quicker time around the Ring a while ago, they've just gone around again for shits and giggles. Porsche had already posted a GT2 time before the GTR went around.

Who cares really, the luxo GTR is a few seconds off in full trim on a damp track, with a $220-$250k V-Spec version to come which will smack the worried grin off Porsche's faces again

and Porsche would not give a shit about not selling their GT2's as quick as Nissan's GTR... Porsche aren't trying to knock off Toyota in sales volume stakes

You are thinking about the GT3 RS, which comes with a rollcage as an option.

Damn, was it Walter Rorhl that did that 7.32 in the GT2?

Nissan still has the advantage, I'm sure the "average" driver would be faster in a GTR (V-spec or not) than the GT2 - plus its much cheaper. By a lot.

Nissan never went out to bench mark the R35 GTR against the GT2. It was always a comparison between the 911 turbo and the GTR.

Having said that, I wonder how the R35 GTR in GT2 spec (RWD, less luxuries, less weight etc) would fare. Not that Nissan will ever do this as their AWD is a massive advantage.

RWD in stripped out spec....I like that.

ive always said, i wanted the V-spec to be a RWD version with both manual and twin clutch auto options, with the RWD will change the weight distribution, meaning gear box mounted back so far isnt needed, hence it can run up to the engine, hence the possibility of a manual option :)

It will never happen as AWD makes the GTR faster around corners and off the line. I don't know how the GT2/3 manages to achieve such good cornering ability and yet be quicker.

What's the weight difference between the GT2 and 911 turbo? (can't be bothered looking it up :) )

The fact that the gearbox is mounted in the rear has nothing to do with the lack of a manual option.

As mentioned a lot of times in other threads, other cars have rear mounted manual transaxles such as the Corvette's from the C4 on.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
