http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=74...playable%3Atrue

They were all laughing and afew were saying "Lucky it did its alternator! :P "

Then afew were saying "Yeah but its also 300/400kg lighter than the Falcon"

Still a good watch!

Make up your own minds.

Ive seen one high octane video. The one where they test the viper in the hills of california and it goes sliding off the side hahahah classic. Poor car but still made me chuckle, like when you see someone trip when they're walking........................shuttup you all do it too

Yeap definatlly the clips from high octane...

I thought the rotor was cool...

The track was no bathurst tho.... The rotor probablly would not make it so well round a big circuit. It was a little nippy car with lots of little legs... The supercar has long legs for long straights...

So i think you will find at a circuit like bathurst (a normal V8 supercar circuit) then the V8 would win hands down.

Thats coming from a person who like V8 supercars & rotor's alike. Non bias opinion.

The track was wakefield park, and the bloke driving the v8 owns the circuit.

But simply, that rotor should be quicker than a v8 supecar at any track. The category the rotor is in in Sports Sedans, and the quickest sports sedans are v8s (like the v8 Saab and Alfas that race the national series). So its a bit of an unfair comparison.

In fact all around australia the quickest race cars are v8s now F1 has also gone v8.

F1

A1 GP

Formula 5000

Sports Sedans with v8s.

Probably the quickest cars that are not v8s are Formula 3, 3l na race cars. Then cars like the rotor sports sedan

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
