The Nissan Gt-r's Australian Connection

[gp900]

Thought you guys might find this interesting. I literally stumbled upon this while googling and I subsequently did a little more investigative googling to find out more.

Turns out that a little known Australian Engineering design house is responsible for the design of several key components in the GR6 transmission. How much they had to do with the overall packaging of the GR6 I can only guess but clearly they were responsible for Clutch design, Valvebody design, ElectroHdraulics and Software development.

I know that Aichi in Japan co-operated with BW in the design of the GR6 and that this company seems to be a BW subsidiary.

Regardless, Their resume is quite impressive.

What is really interesting is that these guys apparently do "Warranty Investigation" and "Failure analysis" for Borg Warner solenoids, which they also design. A number of these have carked it in U.S. cars.

Check out their website.

Geez, doing warranty investigations and failure analysis on a product they designed..

I'm sure they're harsh but fair on themselves. I bet they also do their own audits.

Lol
