Looks like it will make for a grate drift track with more than 2 corners to put together.

what are the chances they will allow drifting on it?

pretty sure you will find the new section becomes the drift section as suited to having an audience sitting on the hill very well. also allows them to run a drift day on that side of the circuit and then a track day on the other circuit.

meh, I think the old full track was better. The blind entry to reasonably fast turn 8 was a real highlight of the track. Now its replaced with a mickey mouse section of slow esses and even slower hairpins...

will be a real PITA trying to find a track day using the best layout.

Definitely with you on this; one of my favourite bits of the track gone.

Coming over the top, cranked hard over on the knee slider, on the gas was the highlight of most track days...

Agreed.

I thought the same originally when the designs were released. Just does not suit the rest of the track.

How green is the new bit! He noticably backs off and it's still moving about a bit.

But the good bit about it is now there appears to be some slow to mid sections where you have to stop cars with some attitude on them and changes of direction. I think it works. BUT, agree, Corporate Hill was the best corner on the track where you would hammer through in a slide using all the exit...never quite made that sand trap though came close a few times. Shame they took away the kink in the braking area before the new section as well as that was another quite technical part of the track ...woudl have been great if they extended the track without messing with corporate hill...but oh well

I wondered why they took that kink around the back of corporate hill out, but I think that if it was still in place there would be a lack of decent passing opportunities on the new South circuit. I guess now all the power cars will scream up the hill, down the inside of the lesser powered cars into the reshaped turn, then hold everyone up through the twisty bit. We'll see...

the kink was removed to make entry into the new section easier/safer, that kink was put in cause the track was originally designed for bikes but now it throws you wide so now its more flowing

I didn't think they where removing turn 8 and if you hire the whole or south track you can still use i use it, but I'm with Fatz, 8 is better then 1

      Pre purchase inspections

      By Therry · Posted

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      By MrCodZilla · Posted

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
