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.

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

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..

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

so what your saying bard is that the engine designers at nissan require a full frontal labotamy just to be on the design team

No mullet, no job :P

guys.... nissan already make v8s.

it'll be a vh/vk50de or something like that

it wont be.

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.

I knew it wasnt serious.....but other people on these forums are not as smart as you and I so just wanted to clarify...otherwise someone somewhere will run around telling his mates "i read on a forum......" etc :)

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
