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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
