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.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
