Hey guys,

I've been interested in the Gtr since I heard about it and what it can do.

Im an electrician and am doing my diploma, ive just joined a class called reporting and specs.

I have till November to learn about a topic of interest and present a 3000 word written report and a 12 minute speech.

I also must have to have a target audience

Your idea can be WHAT EVER you want.

I've chosen to present a report to the Europe touring car championship, my report will include trying to organize or ask to let other cars into there tour or try to create a world tour. It's all a bit rough ATM as I've barely thought about it.

I will be basing my idea to the audience on the Gtr (as I've heard it is "faster the the 911 turbo around the Nurbergg ring")

I will also base it on alot more fun and a bigger car scene around the world (seeing as australias only real coverage is bathurst with aus cars)

Amongst other points I have in mind.

My point for this thread is that I'm sure alot of you guys know alot about the Gtr.

My first approach will be getting the manuals of the car

I'll then be looking for sources such as from the makers of how it puts that much power to the wheels

Some people may think this is lame but I think it'll interest me a little while will make me want to do it more

Hoping some people can help me with a manual download or some good websites or books.

Or info on the Europe car scene.

Any help would be great to get this ball rolling.

Jarrad.

Don't quote Wikipedia as the source. Most claims on Wikipedia are also referenced in the Bibliography at the bottom of each page so if you use something, go straight to the source and have a look for yourself.

Wikipedia is a gold mine for academic research, as long as it's not used as the actual source.

Why don't you do a report on the R35 and the WTAC ?

A couple of threads you can get a lot of info from, including pics, graphs, video's etc. Indepth build threads right here.

Whatever doesn't make sense you can ask the people directly who are involved.

You can even post results.

Your references can be for the std cars mechanics and how altering power, aero etc changes x.y and z.

nah i don't read books to much i only have this one cause a mate gave it to me, i think the most info you will find will be in mags like "wheels" etc, anything that reports on stock cars as they are released, otherwise try the Nissan web site, they might still have a write up on its release or of the updates its had over the last few years.

Spoke to my teacher and he made a good point. It's going to be hard to find info so I guess I'll do something else :S

I thought there'd be stacks of info about it, like a whole walk through of the car and where it competes and everything.

Ohwell solar panels it is lol.

You can use wiki, theres heaps of info as it has already been said just use the wiki resources as reference at the bottom of the page.

I cant see why you couldnt find any info on it :S

i think its just a bit over my head considering its for tafe

thanks alot aaron, ive deciding im going to do a "breifing" about solar energy and try to get some new customers as i work for "joe solar" or something haha, so my main points are going to be why its worth getting, sadly ive relised theyve canned all insentive to get solar and from what ive seen its pretty pointless.

so im gunna struggle to sell it :P

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes

      I'm far from an expert, but for sticking bits of metal together occasionally I got a MIG, the biggest one I could get with a 10a plug (because while I have some 15a GPOs around, they are not everywhere).  Also, because I get through SFA, I just buy the small disposable gas bottles at Bunnings, I'm not opening a BOC account to get through 1/10th of a full size bottle each year

      Ignore the BOV / recirc valve question. You have an NA and shouldn't have one. If there magically is one though... It should be removed, though it shouldn't really effect it in the way one will for a turbo motor with it venting to atmosphere while running an afm.
