It's just a car with a cage and other endurance equipment, not exactly spec GT3 race cars....

SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge- carfacts

Car doesn't have enough to run in ALMS. Good luck getting ACO to certify the car into GTC class, they only allow the GT3 in right now. Nissan can use some money to bribe them though

GT might be a bit high, but I do think it would be a good fit in GTS. It would be racing with the likes of Mustangs, TSX's, and Camaros.

Check the following links, much more details about this NISMO RC:

NISSAN FAIRLADY ZNISMO RC

And Read the last line on the 'Notes', it says:

"- This car can not be used on public roads or be registered for such a license."

And look at the specs, then we have a better idea on what is this Fairlady NISMO RC.

I don't understand, why would we compare this car, a factory race car, to a street-mod car.

cheers

I see this as the replacement for the 350Zs running in SuperGT GT300 class; the Japanese series.

the car was pretty impressive in person honestly, i dunno if it was $150k impressive tho. i think it should be more in the $80-90k range honestly. it does take some time and work to build a car like this but not that much :\

Those have stock body/aero?

I want those air ducts!

travisjb 10-05-2011 10:51 AM
these will do the trick and fit well on non-nismo bumper cover

i think they were $30 at summit racing

Hmmm... I like these

Nabi 10-06-2011 01:56 PM
So any word on how to get those brake ducts?????:confused:

Cmike2780 10-06-2011 02:26 PM
Anyone else notice the wheels and tires setup isn't staggered. I'm a noob to this type of racing. Is this common?

Also, no intake upgrade? Not even the air filter? Seems rather odd, especially for an out the box race car.

HKYStormFront 10-06-2011 02:35 PM
most race cars have a fairly square setup. i was reading an article comparing road cars to race cars last night and most are only running 10mm difference front to rear if not all square. reason being that most drivers prefer to have more front end grip than a street car. the reason for staggered setups on current street RWD cars is to help induce understeer (safer, easier to control) instead of oversteer (much more dangerous for people who don't know what they are doing behind the wheel)

travisjb 10-06-2011 02:42 PM
I drive a square setup for the reason stated above and to help with tire management... can swap front/rear and side/side to even out wear and get an extra 20-30% tire life... i also have lots of rear aero that you wont' find on a street car so at speed rear traction is no issue... and for slow speed corners having the back end a little "lose" can help point the car for corner exit... I am NOT talking about drifting just managing the car with very slight brake control or throttle or speed to get the car pointed in the right direction to "track out" of a corner... with a proper diff it is fairly easy to control this car in oversteer

Spot-on, Patrick.

Now some cars that have quite a bit of weight behind the rear axle (*cough* Porsche 911 *cough*) often require quite a bit of stagger to keep the rear end in line.

I prefer square setups for balance and tire life.
