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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
