R34 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 News Break The Australian V8 Taxi racing series will become a little less boring next year with the anouncement that Nissan will be racing in the series from 2013. Hope they don't do too well or they'll be banned....again http://www.v8supercars.com.au/championship/newsarticle/official-nissan-to-join-v8-supercars-championship/tabid/70/newsid/12124/default.aspx Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391083-nissan-to-race-a-taxi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge_r34gtr Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It's good to see nissan back in mainstream australian motorsport, but don't expect a gtr to be racing. with the 'car of the futture' setup next year, all makes will be running the same or near-same chasis, engine, running gear & suspenstion. The only thing that will change are the badges and the plastic body kits.

The only thing that will change are the badges and the plastic body kits. Exactly. Aka NASCAR. Which does produce some good racing.....its not uncommon to have to races, and 10 different winners while having 40 different race leaders. As long as they dont start oval tracks...ill probably follow the sport lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391083-nissan-to-race-a-taxi/#findComment-6227580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectx Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Cool!! bring it on.. The video says 'sedan', and 'nissan engine'.. So maybe it will be a V36 sedan with VQ45 or something? Or maybe a v37? Who knows.. It will make things less boring thats for sure..

Or maybe a v37? Who knows.. It will make things less boring thats for sure.. Not quite. The silhouette (body) will be based on the Nissan Ultima. The engine will be a nissan factory design, however dont get too excited....it will be a 'complying' engine. That is to say it has to have 8 cylinders, it has to have xxxx displacement, it has to have no more than xxx hp, it has to run x fuel etc etc etc....so it will basically be an engine design equivilent to both the holden and ford are running now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391083-nissan-to-race-a-taxi/#findComment-6246458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because those engines are able to comply with the rules right? negative. The engine they will be using is a fresh desgin. Having said that, its VERY much based on what the category already uses.
