lol me too.

At least the spoontas in the tower wont be saying "pick up the leader" over and over again. They will need to make sure the light bar is well and truley secured though.

Wow!, considering Nissan's history in the Australian Touring Car scene, that is a very significant move. How ironic that the car that effective formed the V8 Taxi circus we see now will be back again leading the pack. Speaking of pack, I wonder if the top-o-the mountain bathurst yobs will hurl empty VB tins and once again act like a "pack of ar$eholes"??

totally agree the V8 circus must feel like a bunch of hypocrites,but must admit will be good to c.

is there a press release or a link to a media site to back this up just a lil coz i'm finding it a bit hard to believe.

don't get me wrong, it would be awesome, yes but atm it's just seems like a rumour on a car forum. am happy to be proved it is true.

chrysler hasn't renewed the contract this year due to the cost

In a move that is certain to bring some irony to the sport, Nissan’s iconic GT-R is coming back to the V8 Supercar series.

Why irony? Well, for those of you old enough to remember, the GT-R simply flogged the home made metal years ago, leading to the infamous “pack of arseholes” quote from Gentleman Jim Richards - not so gentlemanly at the time, though.

This time, however, the GT-R won’t be racing - although a few of us would like to see how competitive it would be.

The GT-R will be the new V8 Supercar Pace Car for the 2009 series. The reason? Well according to Nissan spokesperson Jeff Fisher, GT-R could use the exposure.

Mr Fisher has said, “We’re looking at numerous ways of giving GT-R continued exposure over the life of the vehicle. The V8 Supercar program could be an appealing way to do that.”

Well I can pretty much confirm that the R35 GTR is the new pace car for the supertaxis. Apparently it will end up with yellow flashes down the sides and a supercar logo on the bonnet :thumbsup: I guess thats needed so the supertaxis can spot it when they can't keep up and its on the horizon :) :)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
