it would be fitting if the fords and holdens all had red and blue lights on the roof to mimic reality.... cops chasing nissans

Ahah! I actually guffawed at that one.... reality tv is about to happen....

Nah, it will still be an extremely even competition and the wins will be shared equally around the brands. In all honesty the whole COTF thing is just a promotional gimmick - all 4 brands of cars will run IDENTICAL floor pans, suspension, brakes, wheels, steering, ECU, engine position/weigh balance, trans, diffs, etc etc. And they will be tuned to the EXACT same kw - with the Nissans being severely restricted so as to not make too much power.

Really they will all the be exact same cars, with different body shells on top :(

Already the Ford and Holden camps have been whinging about Nissan having an unfair advantage, as in early testing the Altima had a better wind/drag coefficient, and last I heard they were making Nissan put some flatter panels on the intakes of the Altima to somewhat mess up the drag coefficient to make it equal to that of the Fords and Holdens.

From what ive read about the Nissan VK56DE engine, they've sleeved the block (to bring it back to 5 litres capacity from the 5.6 it is in the Patrol), and counterweighted the crank (because the engine is too light)

Havent heard anything on the Mercedes side, if the Stone Brothers / Erebus merger is anything to go by, they'll be there (im sure Nick might be able to enlighten us on how many car operation Erebus already has in the GT championship)

I love them, but if I brought one home the wife would be out of here before I even closed the door behind me ....

Once it has settled in and once you have figured out if it bitey or not, I would love to come have a play with it!

Finally got myself a green tree python today. There not $10000 for a juvenile anymore. Like they used to be. Anyone else into reptiles?

My bro is really into reptiles. Hes got 7 snakes at the moment, a bunch of scorpions, blue tongue lizards, stumpy tailed lizards, water dragons and bearded dragons... think he currently has a stimpsons python, a woma python, a black headed python, childrens python and a couple I dont know the names of (one which is bright green but isnt a green tree python). This place is like a zoo sometimes.

I had Bearded Dragons but the missus flipped out when I said they were coming with when we moved in together... My Father now has two new friends that sit happily on a heat pad on his computer desk while he works lol

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
