That's a massive mis conception about supercars.

The cars themselves are actually radically different depending where it was originally manufactured.

The base of a monocoque chassis and RWD V8 is as far as it currently goes.

Want to win have 888 build you a chassis and pay for their experience to tune it.

There was teams buying componentry from 888 all week trying to find pace, if the cars were the same they'd all have the same componentry,

hahaha yep

I laughing at my FB feed at the moment.

Lots of "omg holdens are so much better etc"

Im sitting here going wtf they are the same car you dickheads.

Even the Holden engine is a carbon copy of the D3 headed ford...only difference is the engine mounting posistions and intake manifold bolt holes

yeah. the holdens have to be cut in half and widened (or is it lengthened?) so that they can meet the blueprint regs.

as for parts, yeah there are only a handful of teams who actually make their own parts. back in the day larry perkins used to be the go to guy for holden engines. they were pretty much the most powerful. and DJR was the ford team to supply a lot of the ford teams. not sure if 888 still make stuff for the ford teams or not (given that a lot of the componentry is the same between the 2 i'd say that they do). a mate of mine used to work for 888 as a fabricator in their last year with ford, might see if he knows.

ye, i meant same as in the suspension design etc

ie a commodore is not a commodore per se.

A lot of people still think the cars are a road car with a roll cage and aero

Edit - The rules of these things are stupid...like you say there are different components etc...but they have to run a control MAP sensor! and the ignition timing isnt allowed to change more than 6 degrees between 4000 and 7500

anyone comparing GTR laptimes to a supercar is an idiot, one is a production based touring car and the other a sports sedan built to regulation.

plus 19 odd years of development derp derp derp

anyone, the queing is going to ruin the 888's car race.

Also, HICLONE 25% better fuel consumption and 15% more power !

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?

      Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
