flyingfridge Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 could work, but nissan AU won't pay for that! oh and must run a 5L pushrod.... COTF allows overhead cams. Engine will either be a bored and stroked version of the 4.5L unit in the GT500 GT-R or a downsized version of the 5.6 in the new Patrol..... http://www.carsales.com.au/news/2012/large-passenger/nissan/nissans-v8-supercar-contender-shrouded-in-mystery-28749 Body will be based on either the 2013 Altima or an as yet unnamed large sedan due for release in the states late this year.

W0rp3D Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was at kelly racing yesterday and asked what car they would be using, apparently it will be a brand new shape, the prototype panels are being stamped in the US now, which of course means it is US designed so it will be ugly!

Gazzilla Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why dont they just use the same r35 that is in the GT1 championship. Thats a V8 ain't it?

Downforce Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 LOL.. the GT1 R35 would chop the fords / holdens sideways. they would have a cry and ban it again hahaha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391016-nissan-to-join-v8-supercars/page/2/#findComment-6231532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulosECR33 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 i cant wait to go to some events with a huge nissan flag, no matter what car they decide to use, (i wish they would use GTRs but i doubt it) it will make the category interesting again.. does those new rules for future race cars require live axle and watts linkage ?

W0rp3D Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 errr... no. That is a rendering based on suit photos and leaked info, so while its not 100% perfect that will be three general shape of the new Altima in the US and Maxima in Aus and of course there new V8 touring car.

RDirty24door Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 its meant to be control chassis and control engine so i have heard, wether its true or not tho, just seems to be going more nascar like. which would possible make it a level playing field for a few years as all the data for full bodied cars would be different for say a nascar body chromoley chassis so it could be good. hopefully anyway Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391016-nissan-to-join-v8-supercars/page/2/#findComment-6245465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
