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!!

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
    • Take the fall as a warning sign for future endeavours  Stay safe mate
    • hi mate, HKS cooler piping still available by any chance?
