Nice video :(

Not much GTR in those GTR's. Doesnt even run the same engine let alone anything else. Maybe the tail-lights are genuine?

It's even less GTR then the local V8 Supercars are Falcon and Commodore...

Thanks for all the specs!

Not much GTR too right. But hey, i'm not complaining. There's good reason.

I'm trying to work out which GTR is the best looking of the 5. I'm still thinking, but i'll get back to you guys about it. The aesthetics are really the only distinguishing feature between these cars.

Not up to the task? :D:D

It's up to the task for sure. Just those bloody rules mean all the goodies on the R35 have to be chucked.

And hey, i don't exactly think a V8 GTR is a bad thing. Not true to form, but damn it would ram through those corners with all that torque. Just imagine on a street GTR, the ATTESA being fed by a V8! Sheeat!

I can understand the thrill of paying to see Formula 1 Grands Prix, Super GT, and the numerous competitions in Europe (i.e. Le Mans). These races are cutting edge, develop new technologies and for the petrol head are titillating. But when you think about it, in Oz all we see is Fords/Holdens driving around as cabs, cop cars, passenger cars absolutely EVERYWHERE. So why the sh!t do we pay to see them again in the V8 Supercars? At least give the Falcodores some awesome body styling like Super GT cars! :D

V8 Supercars = Marketing

Super GT = Cultural Event

But to be fair Super GT, or most forms of GT racing = BORING sad.gif

mainly in Europe GT's are about endurance events (500 - 1000Km long races) so you don't get the large amount of door to door races the whole way through

But to be fair Super GT, or most forms of GT racing = BORING :D

But the technology in them is awesome. They are race cars, where as here in Aus we get touring cars. Oh well, at least we shit all over the BTCC :D

GT cars are more exciting than touring cars IMO. The only exception there is the DTM, that has awesome touring cars.

You can't really compare them tough, they're not the same.

Check out POst #43, they are min 300km races with a few 500km and 1000km races in there. The Super GT dont make for good racing, but are still good to watch because of the slower cars in the mix, the number of manufacturers etc. I still dont rate the style of racing as good racing. Thats based on the limited viewing i have seen, about 5-6 races over the years.

And to me, DTM is damn clsoe to GT cars. Its a shame their fields are so small with only a few manufacturers. Isnt Mercedes and Audi the only guys out there this season?

yep i agree troy. great cars don't neccissarily make for great racing. super GT is a great spectacle, and the cars sound and look awesome but the racing is pretty average. I quite like DTM, lots of agressive drivers. you are right though, they are down to just Audi and Mercedes. Did anyone see the race last year when Audi forced all their drivers to retire after they accussed norbert haug of instructing all the merc drivers to gang up and take out their audi rivals. lol, what a farce but fun to watch.

and I really don't hate V8SC at all. they often have some good races.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
