No doubt will be one of fastest cars out there on the day.

But to me it looks like the suspension is a bit too hard. Its drifting most corners and hopping all over the place.

But i guess thats why they call it testing.

A handful is an understatement. You even see Mark shaking his head just before he crosses the line.

Hopefully downforce and grip will be sorted in time.

Forgot to mention. Good video as always Andrew.

That is an Evil car...congrats..I hope it kicks the Japanese contingents butt !!

If it does it will give them an overdue wake up call !!

Does there come a time when no matter how well a car is setup the tyre size and type simply limits its capability's?

If the car was making over 600 prior to the E85 god only knows what its making now. We're talking nascar hp here on piddly little 265 semi slicks.

No disrespect to the tyre maker, they are obviously at the cutting edge as witnessed by what the giant team and others have achieved on them previously but there must come a time when the rest of the car is developed beyond what a "sunday race tyre" is capable of delivering.

Get it sorted and go out and take some names. You have a large fan base cheering you on and I'm one of them :blush:

I dont think its the tyres. Look at the vid and you can clearly see the 4wd system not working. When they get that problem sorted, then watch it haul ass. It will be a totally different car.

A lot of Japanese cars have big turbos, making them come on boost slower mid corner then hit on the straight. Believe it or not but gib single turbo cars get MORE traction, not less. 3-liter with little turbso and E85 make high 400kWs means a LOT of mid range torque. you can see as soon as he stands on it the torque means the car breaks traction.

With the 4WD system sorted it will be better. Its called testing for a reason....becuase they are testing stuff

Aerodynamically very untidy. Acts as an air brake or spoiler into the corner but when you need some angle of attack for downforce in the corner especially a high speed corner it starts to flatten out and the car loses down force , hence the skittish rear end , , though of course the big horse power is to blame as well. Many years ago in the late 60 / 70 when movable aero devices were still allowed in F1 ferrari did the same thing. The wing was operated by engine oil pressure . going fast , high oil pressure, flat wing, into corners revs drop angle of attack increases giving more downforce but since you are moving on the throttle all the time balancing the car the down force changing constantly in the corner making the car unbalanced. hope you get it to work cause it looks great

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
