about time they took the record at nurburgring back from porsche again...

didn't like the front of the car on the initial prototype...think i 1st saw it in 2001...looked too weird...seems like they've gone with the EVO 8 looks....doesn't look too bad to me...

n yea...with the GTRs performance in this year's JGTC seems like this is gonna be a good package

Hi,

2007 is when the next GTR is coming out, I saw the interview with Carlos, and he said he'll be the one to unveil it.

P.S. Nissan was in the crap, but they implemented a 3 year plan to get out of it, which they did in 2 years- well according to the news on Nissan's Japan site, they are!

You mean the Gemballa GTR 750 Evo? It's owned that race track for 3 years now. Good luck. :bahaha:

I think Nissan's gunna have to do something radical to topple the 04-model GT2 Porsche: More power, more torque *680Nm from 3.6L-TT), less weight, sharper handling, better brakes...

Gemballa aren`t the same Company as Porcshe are they? No?

So Nissan just has to make a better car than the standard 911 Turbo, and Nismo/Altia will do the rest to get that Nurburgring record.

is the v6 3.2 twin turbo legit? i thought nissan japan wasnt able to release any more twin turbo specs cos of emissions and so forth. 352kw is nuts for a stock car
No... they can't release anymore *SR20 or RB25/26* turbos because of emissions and that those particular engines were at the end of their development cycle (read: blood old engines - new technology has to be implemented regardless of what we think).

But yes, nothing really new has come out regarding the engine since this thread.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
