Surely the GTR will have to be close to the perfect Targa car? I suppose the weight has to work against it on such a long rally with regards to tyre wear. But from what i have read the thing is so smart that in all conditions and speeds the car just gets the job done, no fuss, no panic. Being so easy to drive at stupid speeds will help drivers starve off errors and drive more consistantly. They do have massive wheels anyway, so perhaps tyre wear wont be so bad.

But interesting to see how the car goes...on paper the journalists have you believe that an P-Plater will punt the thing quicker then the average gun in whatever car they pilot

Surely nissan will load some extra locations in to the computer as not limited? Either way, I'm sure both GTRs that are coming along will be pretty damn un-fiddled

Apparently the US version will have a blanket 250k limiter, JP version is GPS limited 180k, but unrestricted for tracks

I'll be interested to see how the R35 goes against Targa spec GT-R's, that have more power, and are heaps lighter.

If you stare at the pink GTR for long enough you spontaneously projectile vomit. :down::D:blink:

such a shoddy rendering as well, the A pillars arent even the same colour...whatd they do? get the bosses son to colour it in?

donut king can go eat a dick.

thanks for your constructive input... clearly you've been too busy eating dicks to notice that the a-pillar is black plastic from the factory, so painting it would detract from the factory styling!

a fix for the 180k limit will remain an unknown until the car arrives in the country in a few weeks. hopefully it can be overcome in time.

the fact that suitable 20" r tyres do not currently exist is a more significant issue... the car will either run road tyres at the event, or smaller rims.

these are just some of the problems you encounter when you're setting a new trend, but good on tony for putting his money where is mouth is.

From what ive seen in a youtube video... "Circuit" Mode can be selected which disables the 180km/h limiter.

Although there is a disclaimer prior to it going into this mode that you have to agree to...

I will try to find the video on youtube again.

      GTX2860R Gen 2 is an option. No, it doesn't actually do much. The basic problem with wanting 600 whp out of the factory twin turbo setup is a few things. One is that the twin turbo piping is just so, so inefficient. The front and rear turbos are not actually working evenly. The rear turbo is always moving more air than the front. On top of this the OEM rear compressor inlet is rubber that likes to collapse causing a huge intake restriction. The merge doesn't even wait until the intercooler to happen, and it happens at a 90 degree angle. This is why you see some discussion about "turbo shuffle", where in certain conditions one turbo can actually force air to go backwards into the other compressor and stall it out, then once the other turbo recovers it stalls out the first turbo in a cycle until you do something to break out of it. The other issue is that the RB26 is just not that efficient an engine. It needs a surprising amount of ignition timing to reach MBT for a given cylinder pressure so all that time in which the cylinder is pressurizing before TDC is just wasted energy. An N54 might be around 10 degrees BTDC on a stock turbo getting into the boost. An RB26 is closer to 25 BTDC. Net effect is a turbo roughly the size of what HKS uses on the GTIII-SS (smaller than the R3/GCG Japan "GT2860-1" -7s) is only good for maybe 550 crank hp or low 400 whp while a roughly comparable turbo on an N54 can deliver something like 700 crank hp and obviously drivetrain losses are greatly reduced when you aren't burning a bunch of power on keeping a hydraulic pump + transfer case preloaded all the time. So yes, you can make a lot of power but there's a reason why people go single turbo for the numbers you're asking about. Don't forget that the RB26 can't even do a straight line pull without oil starving on the stock oil pan either. Baffles can help, but really you just need more oil capacity.

      Found some from 2009. The lobster bends were smoothed out on the inside with minimal gaps (perhaps 2mm) where the silicone joiners were used.

      And if you have to drive it in a civilised (or excessively woke) US state, find a way to register and insure it in a redneck state, so you can roll coal in it without worrying about legalities.
