Super GT Time Attack - Takata Dome NSX - Rd. 1 Suzuka

I think I'm wrong, but not sure, but didn't a couple of these JGTC NSX's get VQ35DE built engines?

[ychyilim]

The 2009 spec NSX run on 3.4L NA C32B. VQ35DE is built by Nissan. Sadly 2009 will be the last year Honda running NSX in SuperGT.

[420witchdoctor]

I said BUILT VQ35DE, I didn't say anyone BUT Nissan built them. I have had a 1993 Pathfinder with a VQ30DE in it, so I know what I'm talking about. I was asking if they has put VQ35DE's in them at all. I hate it when people try to prove me wrong when I'm not.

[carbonphiber]

@420witchdoctor you hate it when people try to prove you wrong when you're not... even though you opened your shitty comment with "I think I'm wrong"

idiot.

[420witchdoctor]

@carbonphiber You're a faggot troll. GTFO and GFYM.

It wasnt Honda that used the VQ35DE, but it was the ARTA Gariaya in the Supergt 300 Class that used the Nissan Engine. The Supergt 500 cars can only use the Manufacturer engine.

NA doesn't suck. just because the numbers are low doesn't mean it's slow. ultimate throttle response will win on a racetrack because races are won in the corners. with NA, when you put your foot down, the power's ready.

[fabaum22]

yeah, but the turbo lag in this cars is minimal... (in the turbocharged ones, of curse)

well, i prefer the yellow takata

looks better :P

[nsxkeen]

did they use V-tec engines

[QuiK075]

they eliminate vtec due high revs otherwise the engine wont last longer

[hany259]

they're actually supercharged and intercooled i believe?

[zabuza182]

no they are NA engines.... it sucks

[essijooon]

well untill 03 thy were turbos, after 03 Jp emission regilations had to change it to N/A, bigger V8 4.5 still max of 500Whp if you on top 5 you will get extra 10Kg on youre car and after 6th you will reduce 10Kg, this can go all the way to 120Kg, that why the new Jp supercars are V8`s and V10`s thy coming from NEW GT regilations, i like N/A more than turbo any way...youre faster

2003 JGTC NSX were NA 3.5l V6 powered.

2004 JGTC GT500 NSX twin turbo 3.0l V6 powered, GT300 NSX NA 3.5l V6.

2005 SUPER GT, Round 3, NA 3.5l V6 was introduced.

And would be the final race for the twin turbo 3.0l V6.

GT300 NSX still NA 3.5l V6.

Currently in GT500 both the SC430, and Skyline GT-R are NA 4.5l V8 powered.

TAKATA DOME!

traditionally, nsx gt's are na. They went turbo for some time due to horribly unfair regulations against the nsx and didn't do so hot

[gavinsloma]

i remeber when that stuff happed to the nsx what did that do the change the rules, and was it becuse of it winning too much.

[MF301HA]

Basically JGTC introduced the flat bottom rule.

NSX being MR, easily generated the most downforce in the catergory from its classic racecar layout.

The flat bottom rule nulled this advantage which saw the NSX's struggle in 2003.

2001 and 2002 saw the NSX's win often, but always narrowly miss out on the Drivers Title.

[kittykoosyautry]

are these cars naturally asperated? turbocharged?

[MF301HA]

2006 SUPER GT NSX is normally aspirated 3.5l V6 powered.

Video shows Ryo Michigami securing second position on the grid in the Dome NSX, and an NSX front row.

As Daisuke Ito secured pole position for the Suzuka GT 300km in the ARTA NSX.

They finish fourth and third respectively.
