could work, but nissan AU won't pay for that!

oh and must run a 5L pushrod....

COTF allows overhead cams.

Engine will either be a bored and stroked version of the 4.5L unit in the GT500 GT-R or a downsized version of the 5.6 in the new Patrol.....

Body will be based on either the 2013 Altima or an as yet unnamed large sedan due for release in the states late this year.

I was at kelly racing yesterday and asked what car they would be using, apparently it will be a brand new shape, the prototype panels are being stamped in the US now, which of course means it is US designed so it will be ugly!

LOL.. the GT1 R35 would chop the fords / holdens sideways. they would have a cry and ban it again hahaha

After the death threats and hate mail Kelly racing got from its so called fans over this I would love nothing more than to see them dominate this year and then have them do it again next year in a Nissan!

i cant wait to go to some events with a huge nissan flag, no matter what car they decide to use, (i wish they would use GTRs but i doubt it) it will make the category interesting again..

does those new rules for future race cars require live axle and watts linkage ?

errr... no.

That is a rendering based on suit photos and leaked info, so while its not 100% perfect that will be three general shape of the new Altima in the US and Maxima in Aus and of course there new V8 touring car.

its meant to be control chassis and control engine so i have heard, wether its true or not tho, just seems to be going more nascar like. which would possible make it a level playing field for a few years as all the data for full bodied cars would be different for say a nascar body chromoley chassis so it could be good. hopefully anyway

control chassis, suspension, wheels and tyres but no engine, they can use there own engine or some body elses and it does not have to be 5ltr but will be resticted in some way if its not.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
