Its all the rage these days, and the R35 with its Ring lap time has just beem destroyed by a rwd Fezz 599 GTO, by over 30 seconds. According to EVO magazine they are going to build it and call the 599XXX the 599 GTO (as opposed to GTB)

So Nissan needs to cull some weight, and find some grunt for the R35, shoudlnt be too hard. They need to build an N1 model, who cares what they call it...they need to get rid of the playstation, leather, all the crap that slows it down and take on the raw prod builts coming out....for now i love that rwd yank muscle and Fezz power is faster then AWD limos.

no country in the world today would allow this car to be road registered. i'm sorry Ferrari. bragging that your stripped out non-road legal car beats a street-registered GTR in full trim is pretty lame.

next...

I don't know if you read the articles but no where does it say that they are bragging about beating the GTR. None of them also say that it would be road registered either...

Will post up pics of the 599 FXX I saw at the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago. The noise they make is insane. You rent them from Ferrari for around 1.5m Eruo per annum and they turn up at a track of your choice with full pit crew. They take it away at the end of the day, until your next track day. Beyond that I'm not sure of the details but it's an awesome bit of kit. Unfortunately it never passed me on the track (due to non coinciding laps.....or just my sheer speed?) as a flyby would have been awesome.

The 599FXX is NOT a road car.

Correct...BUT the 599 GTO IS a road car. The GTO is the road going version of the XXX, incorporating lots of the development parts from the XXX!!!

Grab some of the recent issues of EVO and from the Fezz website...

Ferrari's new extreme V12 berlinetta, the 599 GTO, delivers a lap time of just 1 minute and 24 seconds at Fiorano, making it the fastest road-going model in our history. This limited edition special series of just 599 is the new pinnacle of Prancing Horse sportiness and has benefited to an enormous degree from technological transfers from the track. Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers' experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version.

Per Annum?!?! Fark!!

Fark you are such a GTR hater, not surprising seeing you are a one eyed porker fan. Starting to get tired of your constant anti GTR prattle, go somewhere else.

In the spirit of the thread I add my love for this particular Fezza, its a sweet sweet thing.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
