Ahh name to face and car all in one :laugh:. Super car dude.. wow.

Also LMGt4 my favorite rim, but i'm with grant the black just didn't look right to me. Also the catch can hoses looked a bit obvious and stuff.. wow that's the only criticism I have :D everything else was perfect. Dream car for millions i'd say.

I thought the black wheels looked good. One thing I liked about this car was the subtlety to it...there were no outlandish parts to it. Even the high spoiler seemed to blend in well.

Basti, you mean about detailing it? already has been, attacked it before the S'n'S, but silver doesn't really yield the same results as black does unfortunately. I've got some metallic/flake shots somewhere to show the paint correction though :D I was secretly hoping it was going to rain on Sunday, would have been fun to see the water slide off the car

well post em up. jeez :laugh:

Mate, the car looks fantastic, a REAL head turner, I couldnt stop looking at the new gtr photos..

did anyone else get the sense when you looked at the gtt photos it looked like a boys toy car and the gtr looks like a mans car?

You know that catch can is illegal right? :(

This car was great in the flesh ;)

lol

dan.... the car is just amazing...

there are not too many cars that can sit next to mine and actually make me feel like i hate my car.... but yours managed to do it!

i was parked next to an f430 the other day and didn't think anything of it, but then at the show and shine i was seriously envious!

however, if you insult that beautiful machine by not getting genuine craft square mirrors... i will hurt you... with a blowtorch

Thanks heaps for the comments guys! Mucho appreciated :P

Must have missed you Juliette... went to work around 1:15pm and only came back to move the car out...

for the GTT owners, now that i've been lucky enough to have driven both the TT and R, don't underestimate your cars. There was a little period where i had both the R and GTT and it was nice to hope back into Blackie. Great gearboxes (especially if you have the datsun clubs 'dildo' variety shifter :woot:), definitely more responsive than the 26 and just an all around more 'streetable' car. Maybe my R isn't a fair comparison :rofl: but in an ideal world i would get around in the GTT for most duties, and the R would be kept for the serious stuff :D They are great cars, with great potential, and now that the new Garret GTX series turbo's are out with greater E85 availability..... fun times indeed :D that's really the same for any of the rwd 25's. I've come to appreciate them a lot more after driving around in the R for the last little while.

i'll get up the gratuitous full sun detailing shots soon ;)

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
