I dont know what all these CON bussiness is about, im not too familiar with the Ring, but i doubt Nissan would do a 'dodgy' and promote it for the whole world to see specially with so much scrutiny and people anticipating the launch of the GTR, i think someone wanted to know the comparisons between the V8 super cars and the new GTR:

Nissan GT-R

Performance: 0-100km/h 3.7secs, 308km/h top speed

Price: $120,000 (estimated)

VS:

V8 Supercar: 3.8 secs (Ford Team Vodafone), 4.0 secs (Holden Toll Racing), from $400,000-$500,000

and yes i know this isn't a very fair comparison, but still gives you an idea of the GTR's potential. Keep in mind that the GTR is a road car with all the trimmings (which add weight)

If only they would change the rules again in Bathurst again :P it would be like the early 1990's all over again, but im sure the 'the pack of assholes' might have something to say about that :)

not a chance

V8 taxicars are here to stay as they are 'till kingdom come

in all their 5 litre, pushrod, live-axle glory

(notice how much [the Fords in particular] don't even remotely resemble the road cars mechanically anymore...hmmm)

Back to the topic guys......leave the guy alone.

He made a mistake......

He should apologize for this and move on...at least that is what I would do...

Silence is assumed to be a poor trait amongst men.

It is fine for women though :P

Enough said

actually its the bommodores that are less like production spec, they run ford rear diff and ford front suspension (wishbones) instead of the bommadore struts. But I think we have picked on the poor misguided foo' enough already, right?

Lets also not forget that despite the fact that the Taxis are pretty much sports sedans now the race record for the Bathurst 1000 is still held by the GroupA (Damn near factory compared to V8 Camiras, I mean Supercars) GTR... and before anyone thinks they did a dodgy here too, (because of course Holden and Ford would never pay Cams to fix a series) the race where they set the record WAS NOT the rain shortended one and did include the Chase.

And now, 16 years on the Taxis are still not as quick as a production GTR.. (yes I am sure that a lap of Bathurst by a stock GTR would be slower than a Taxi, but lets see it in racing trim)

Reading Wheels this month they state that the 911 GT2 has now posted a 7:32 in response to the GTR's time....

damn those germans!

i don't think the GTR was built to beat the GT2's time, but just wait till the v-spec/nur/evo version is released...........

Agreed. The entry model R35GTR is really aimed at the luxury equiped 911 Turbo not the GT3 or GT2. But R35 GTR N1 anyone? :P

Wheels' finger on the pulse is comparable to a mortician.

porsche_gt2_nurburgring_time.jpg

that "response to the GT-R's time" set by the GT2 was back in August, well before Nissan's lap time was set. The GT-R set out to take on the 911 Turbo's time, and it did it, but then it was suggested that they might gun for the GT2's time seeing as they were so close to it... would have been a bonus, but not the point of the exercise.

Goddamn Wheels is like the Today Tonight or Current Affair of motoring journalism... sensationalist badly researched garbage.

Australian motoring "journalism" has been this way for years and will continue to be this way. It's the "bare minimum" approach to research whereby rumours are treated as facts and opinions are reality.

What I'm personally really waiting for is to see the new car in tarmac events Like Targa Tassie, maybe even with some official Factory support to match Subaru's effort etc. Wonder what it would take to get Jimmy outa the Porka............

Suspicion conformed..............

Direct from the GTR chief engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno

RE: TOKYO 2007: THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

Those words were selected carefully from the true comment below. The above comment is false.

"Mizuno claimed a time of 7minutes 38 seconds, compared with 7:43 for a Porsche 911 GT3 and 7:32 for a Carrera GT, but he was anxious to point out that there had been "two wet patches on the circuit." Indeed, he mentioned the "wet patches" so many times that you wondered why Nissan simply hadn't waited for a dry day. Mizuno reckoned that a time of around 7:30 should have been possible in the dry, but that going much faster would have required hand-cut slicks, which isn't "real world." Bizarrely, Nissan admitted to having different test drivers for different lapping. While Chief Test Driver Toshio Suzuki operates in the 7:30-7:40 range, his right-hand man is a 7:40-7:50 man."

Two different quotes and two different interpretations.

Now if you believe that using cut slicks would enable the GTR into the 7:30 then your dreaming.

We shall see when the first production GTR actually tries to tackle the ring, whether or not its as fast as the CGT.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
