GTR has no chance. not sure why nissan/nismo didnt go into the GT2 class

Really did you see the times posted around the Paul Richard circuit in testing?? I know its only testing but it does look like the GTR will at least be competitive ;)

1. 2010 GT1 Nismo / Gigawave Nissan R35 GT-R - 2:05.447

2. 2010 GT1 Matech Ford GT - 2.05.948

3. 2010 GT1 VDS Ford GT - 2.07.401

Don't read too much into the pre-season testing times for these cars.

I have a mate that works for the Jet Alliance GT1 team (Aston DB9R's) and I remember him telling me that the governing body uses the testing times to try and even out the field by giving extra ballast etc to the fast teams. So as a consequence they used to do all of their pre-season testing on 5 year old slicks that were half useless to make themselves look slow.

Actually I just remembered they did it by determining the size of the restrictors they all had to run.

Alright - I'm off to Spa to watch this one :thumbsup: Although I'm going with Brisby so I'll have listen to his Corvette rubbish all weekend I'm sure.

Best bit is for the 2 days after the race we'll actually get to play on the track :D

yeah not surprised - they are a whole other level up from the cars around.

and speaking of levels, the r35 is running it gt2 not outright, right? It is much more road car than the top level cars

The GTR & Ford GT were running to 2010 GT1 rules, getting a head start on the competition.

Have been working with the Ford GT GT1 cars for next year, all new Aero package.

Sponsorship all set, should be a good year for the ford's running some great drivers

Nissan has some updates over last years but is pretty similar in styling.

I love the toys you get to play with. the proper GT cars are the some of the most seriously engineered cars around

Pitty I'm stuck here in adelaide and they are in Switzerland :P

was invited over to the launch at Paul Riccard But i think the new mortgage is more important at the moment.

know anyone that wants a GT3 spec Ford GT here? chuck us a PM if you do!!

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
