floody Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Not sure anyone is saying the 6 speed is weaker, I get that Snowman had problems with his, and went with the 5 speed for both cost and better ratios. Circuit racing /= Targa though so using Super Taikyu as an example is probably pointless.

Roy Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Same basic spec cars, about the same power, so i thought it would be a reasonable example that there is nothing weak about the 6 spd, nor did Nissan engineer down the quality of the drivetrain or later models. With no Grp A like in teh R32 days, and JGTCC so removed from road cars, i suspect Super Taikyu had even more importance to Nissan with the R34 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/102/#findComment-5223236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
t01-100 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 the gearboxes in FD RX7 are clearly far far stronger than 32, 33 or 34 GTR... one day you could all become enlightened and pass over to the dark side !!

DJRIFT Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 the gearboxes in FD RX7 are clearly far far stronger than 32, 33 or 34 GTR... one day you could all become enlightened and pass over to the dark side !! that is because a rotor lacks the torque to brake traction let alone gears.

Roy Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 LOL, ditto RB20s I am still on the std box after 190,000kms. You just need to be gentle, just think about the first time you did sober anal. You have to slip it in there, all gentlemenly like. Not like drunken anal when you just jam it in!

sav man Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Is the Targa DVD going to have any extra content in the main doco than the TV Doco? The doco's 10 years ago were much better, I watched a couple leading up to Targa, and they were longer, and showed a bigger varity of cars. But they did come out months after the event, as opposed to weeks. I asked to Mazda crew when I was sitting between staged if they carried spare apex seals around with them...they didn't see the humor in it. Any gearbox could last behind a rotor Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/102/#findComment-5223594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 I meant the 5 speed is a benefit not so much because it is (marginally) stronger, but when coupled to the matching R32/33 diff gears they're better imo for this type of motorsport. Anyway, I couldn't give a shit and am ready and waiting to move on Roy is talking about anal now, has no one noticed? Savman, yup, Mt Stuart for the 32. I better get to prepping the poor old girl.

PHaT MR30 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'd like to apply for a derived time for the hour of my life lost last night and I'll happily take the penalty. Apparently the Early Modern category (of which the majority of this forum competes in and watches) wasn't good enough for a mention or a final classification on the Doco. I know not everyone can make it on the doco, but shit to miss a whole category??

NickR33 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 as I said before, EM seems to be the black sheep so enough with the bickering... to busy arguing to realise your all getting screwed was the most entertaining category too... close racing, crashes, mechanical failures and a bit of controversy all thrown in the mix... more interesting than F1 anyday! Roy that's a disturbingly perfect analogy...
