about time they took the record at nurburgring back from porsche again...

didn't like the front of the car on the initial prototype...think i 1st saw it in 2001...looked too weird...seems like they've gone with the EVO 8 looks....doesn't look too bad to me...

n yea...with the GTRs performance in this year's JGTC seems like this is gonna be a good package

Hi,

2007 is when the next GTR is coming out, I saw the interview with Carlos, and he said he'll be the one to unveil it.

P.S. Nissan was in the crap, but they implemented a 3 year plan to get out of it, which they did in 2 years- well according to the news on Nissan's Japan site, they are!

You mean the Gemballa GTR 750 Evo? It's owned that race track for 3 years now. Good luck. :bahaha:

I think Nissan's gunna have to do something radical to topple the 04-model GT2 Porsche: More power, more torque *680Nm from 3.6L-TT), less weight, sharper handling, better brakes...

Gemballa aren`t the same Company as Porcshe are they? No?

So Nissan just has to make a better car than the standard 911 Turbo, and Nismo/Altia will do the rest to get that Nurburgring record.

is the v6 3.2 twin turbo legit? i thought nissan japan wasnt able to release any more twin turbo specs cos of emissions and so forth. 352kw is nuts for a stock car
No... they can't release anymore *SR20 or RB25/26* turbos because of emissions and that those particular engines were at the end of their development cycle (read: blood old engines - new technology has to be implemented regardless of what we think).

But yes, nothing really new has come out regarding the engine since this thread.

    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
