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

would you agree? seeing as you "were" in the industry? haha

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - My car has heaps of small dents, that definitely need filler but are you also sanding the area to 240 grit to fill it in with filler? I always thought you have to go to bare metal for filler to stick but that contradicts the point then that you can put filler on epoxy primer.  If you aren't going to bare metal, AND not putting epoxy primer how are you making the dent stick to the paint?

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.

      BCNR33 Blower Motor Resistor - Testing

      By itsforandres · Posted

      hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00

      R33 general questions

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't know the answer to this, but did you have a look at the parts diagrams on amayama.com and see what they list around it for your car? As an example this should be it on my car. That's how I would check for required clips and things like that. But, I take no responsibility for you ending up with a box full of random OEM hoses, washers and clips after going down that path a few times. This definitely has never happened to me

      Most driving should* be done on one side of single lane divided roads. In the RHD world, you drive on the left side of the dividing line and the road is probably cambered equally on both sides. So your side of the road slopes away to the left. The same is true for the LHD world, just everything swapped to the other side and opposite slope. With a perfectly neutral, straight ahead wheel alignment designed to drive straight on a perfectly flat surface (or at least one that is level on the left-right axis, even if it has some slope in the fore-aft axis) you will not be able to drive on a cambered road without the car wanting to drift down the camber. You will need to add steering input in the opposite direction all the time. This is annoying. The solution has always been to set the camber and/or the caster to produce a continuous turning force in the opposite direction of the camber. The car will drive straight on the kind of camber for which it was set up, presumably as described in the top paragraph. But.... when the car is set up this way, as soon as you get into a lane, usually on a multi-lane surface road or highway, where the camber is not as presumed during setup, the car will usually pull to one side. In the RHD world, if you are in the fast lane on a big divided road, you are probably on the opposite camber compared to what the car was set up for (ie, sloping down to the right) and the combination of the setup and that camber will make the car want to go right pretty hard. Even a perfectly flat lane will tend to want to go right. There's no getting around it. Civil engineers who know their stuff (which is not an assumption that can always be made) will attempt to keep the variation in camber across a multi-lane road as small as possible, and if they can will attempt to make the fast lane as close to flat, or even cambered in the same direction as all the other lanes. This takes a lot of planning for drainage, control of levels, ability to deal with the elevation changes that occur at road junctions, etc etc. So it's not trivial to get it right. When they do make it work, then the annoyance is reduced, along with tyre wear, fuel consumption, etc. In theory, the civil engineers are supposed to worry about those aspects of road design also. * This used to be true, but now with very large highway systems, even just multi-lane surface roads running everywhere, it is less true now than it was, but the old assumption is the basis for describing the phenomenon, so let's just run with it for the moment.
