Recommended Posts

Its all the rage these days, and the R35 with its Ring lap time has just beem destroyed by a rwd Fezz 599 GTO, by over 30 seconds. According to EVO magazine they are going to build it and call the 599XXX the 599 GTO (as opposed to GTB)

So Nissan needs to cull some weight, and find some grunt for the R35, shoudlnt be too hard. They need to build an N1 model, who cares what they call it...they need to get rid of the playstation, leather, all the crap that slows it down and take on the raw prod builts coming out....for now i love that rwd yank muscle and Fezz power is faster then AWD limos.

They made that uer 350Z, 380RS Competition etc, so why not the GTR. Personally i would rather see the GTR motor shoe horned into a 370Z with a fancy diff and suspension....but, I am not the head of Nissan R&D :)

no country in the world today would allow this car to be road registered. i'm sorry Ferrari. bragging that your stripped out non-road legal car beats a street-registered GTR in full trim is pretty lame.

I don't know if you read the articles but no where does it say that they are bragging about beating the GTR. None of them also say that it would be road registered either...

Will post up pics of the 599 FXX I saw at the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago. The noise they make is insane. You rent them from Ferrari for around 1.5m Eruo per annum and they turn up at a track of your choice with full pit crew. They take it away at the end of the day, until your next track day. Beyond that I'm not sure of the details but it's an awesome bit of kit. Unfortunately it never passed me on the track (due to non coinciding laps.....or just my sheer speed?) as a flyby would have been awesome.

The 599FXX is NOT a road car.

Correct...BUT the 599 GTO IS a road car. The GTO is the road going version of the XXX, incorporating lots of the development parts from the XXX!!!

Grab some of the recent issues of EVO and from the Fezz website...

Ferrari's new extreme V12 berlinetta, the 599 GTO, delivers a lap time of just 1 minute and 24 seconds at Fiorano, making it the fastest road-going model in our history. This limited edition special series of just 599 is the new pinnacle of Prancing Horse sportiness and has benefited to an enormous degree from technological transfers from the track. Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers' experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version.

Fark you are such a GTR hater, not surprising seeing you are a one eyed porker fan. Starting to get tired of your constant anti GTR prattle, go somewhere else.

In the spirit of the thread I add my love for this particular Fezza, its a sweet sweet thing.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
