You know they gonna rape face and Holden and ford be already on the phone to the WAAAHHHHHHMMMBULANCE I reckon

[STiNGR]

I heard that they were in talks with chrysler with entering their new 300C. Go the mopar!

Edit: Sorry didnt read the article before I posted.

[Swindog]

Yeah Mopars in there.

[BlkPnthr]

Will they not just limit mods to the Nissan's so that there isn't any rape-age.. otherwise pointless adding them in terms of viewer enjoyment factor

[Slidesector]

Funny as fuck whatching nissan get twice the power from there 8's than Holden and Ford could do in 20 years

[ODB]

how long have the holden and ford v8s remained the same in technology terms for?

[Swindog]

I think itll be good for all parties

Holden and Ford STILL use old technology and itll help them push the technology forward.

[Fastfour]

Isn't it COTF? (car of the future) so will all have same chassis regardless of Holden ford Nissan etc. just body panels different and hOw the car is setup?

[newsuba]

Yes COTF.

Common chassis, diff, gearbox, brakes.

Holden and Ford run similar engines (5.0L pushrod 2v v8 rev limited).

Newcomers will run to an equivalency formula.

Holden already being assholes telling new manufacturers "they would gain nothing" by entering.

Bring on Nissan (et al) vs. assholes - the sequel.

Hahahahaha Brilliant!! Even though they will kick up a fuss that a 4 cycl is an "unfair advantage"

[Swindog]

The JaPS will pull out some secret weapon cos the first season will be all important. ALREADY they have stolen a top driver....who else will defect!

Holden couldnt bring to the party what he wanted and Nissan could, so what does that tell you up front? The Japs will take the gloves off I reckon. Watch the Aussies pander.

[ODB]

Arent they putting the R35 GTR in there?

[Zitchu]

It's unlikely to be a GTR I would say, would probably have to be a 4 door. More info here.

[johnny5]

the cars will all be the same just different engines ODB should be good can't wait really the kelly brothers are the first team to be backed by nissan wondering what triple 8 will do

[STiNGR]

Taken from stuff.co.nz

The expectation is Nissan will drop a V8 powerplant into the Altima shell for the four cars they will run in the series with Kelly Racing.

VK56VD??

Had a ride in a 2011 Infiniti M56 few months ago and oh god that engine is awesome, put CSs (club sports) to shame lol

Also, this addition will make the Supercar V8s more interesting IMO. And didn't Toyota say they wanna enter as well in a V8 Aurions??

[Joker]

it'll be a Maxima body with a chosen 2valve v8 : wont be produced by nissan I bet you a dollar

[GC8E2DD]

I think everyone on CS should take that bet. Jared stands to lose a few hundy methinks ;]

+1

I don't think there's any way they would want to put the GTR body out there with a different motor in it... Everyone who didn't know it wasn't original would start thinking their clubsport etc could keep up with/beat new GTRs and it would be a bit of a joke

[GC8E2DD]

Last time I looked there wasn't a four door GTR ...

[johnny5]

I reckon they will use the r35 four door skyline body be rather fitting and the vq45 or whatever that V8 is

Only in R33. Very very rare produced by autech/nismo. Full R33 GTR running gear in a series 2 (facelift) R33 sedan.
