Nurburgring Nordschleife Falls To The Mighty 911 Gt2 In 7:32


Recommended Posts

true, I have to admit I'd be tempted to wear my undies on the outside and don a cape everytime I get in a car like that. fairly sure a tame version of it is gonna be in preodcution.

Mazda design is probably the best out of the jap car manufactures.. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar that did make it to production. Especially given their success lately regarding the 3 and 6.

firs there was this:

and now this:

something tells me mazda will release something in the general vicinity of that look

The new Lexus/new supra sounds super. Here it is testing:

but to think that it can do a 7.24 min lap of the Ring is hard to believe. Partly because the reports I have read have the power at 500hp. Partly because I imagine that the rubber it uses will be relatively narrow compared to that used by the Zonda and other super cars.

Anyway I reckon it looks very cool.

Cheers

"o Nissan got to enjoy a brief stint in the sun ahead of the 911 Turbo, only to have their 7:38 time in the new GT-R cast aside by the all new Porsche 911 GT2. It's only a matter of time before Nissan debuts their V-Spec, but for now the GT2 has the bragging rights."

Hopefully The V.Spec can Pull something out of the Bag.

Hopefully they can cut some serious weight off the porky R35!!! 1700kgs is far to much!

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
