Not surprising really. Given his contract committments with Ford Racing, he may not have had much choice in the matter. And lets face it, if he wins again this season, thats 3 in a row, not really much left to prove once you do that. Even if he goes for a season or 3, its not like he won't be able to get a drive with a V8 team again.....And remember how big Nascar is in the USA, he'll do alright.

well he came to V8's after racing in some european championship. you can only take so many tri-oval tracks. There arent many decent tracks like Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen, and Road America for those guys. Not 100% sure they race on all of them though haha

Nascar drivers are the most highly paid and in general lowly skilled drivers in the world. If Ambrose can't teach those "good ol boys" a thing or two I would be amazed. I remember when they took Nascars to something other than an oval about half the field had to have lessons in heal and toe and threshold braking! But lets face it, sedan drivers are really just rejects from real race cars anyway (the ones that don't have doors). So he is a two time champion in V8 supertaxis who cares?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By bullet300 · Posted

      My son has an R34 gt auto. I'm looking at methods on how to tune it with the view to be able to further tune it down the track when he is off his P,a and can go turbo. The issue is the 98 gt auto has a seperate TCM and is not compatible with swapping out a gtt auto nistuned pcm ( from what I have read so far ) Please if anyone has info on what to do here I would much appreciate. Realise that some options include manual swap, manualised valve body. Just hoping there is a more direct running option I haven't been able to find. Thanks in advance.

      R34 GTR 4.11 gears: use R33 GTR speedo sensor?

      By Jumbotron · Posted

      Hi Everyone, I did 4.11 gears in my 34 GTR and only thing that remains is to fix the speedo reading (it reads about 15% higher) using the R33 GTR speedo sensor. Few questions:   1. Does the R33 speedo sensor fit right in to the 6sp getrag? I read it does but wanted to confirm because the speedo sensors between 33 and 34 look quite different   2. The connector on the 33 speedo sensor will not plug into the connector on the getrag. Do I just need to wire the pins together manually?  See pic: https://imgur.com/a/NTDzFe8

      R34 rb25det neo lower timing belt cover bolt part numbet

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Does anyone know how I could find the part number for bolts used with  r34 with rb25detneo engine lower timing belt cover?   my timing cover was rubbed and i fixed it but upon putting the harmonic balancer i see the timing cover is almost rubbing and that is due to previous owners using general bolts and washer rather than the bolts per link below which sits inside the washer and pull the cover in   not sure if those bolts will fit rb25   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326510870741?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAB_7XZxjuciMybdVOTShCs9857686&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338723872&toolid=20006&customid=7jIl12glAAAAVfHSSnyxAmSsdRxnAAAAAA

      If the slightly higher internal EGR caused by a high flow cat causes detonation your tuner was way, way, way too aggressive to begin with. Timing scatter is a problem unless you go to a crank trigger, winter vs summer blend has different octane, list goes on.
