HR31 GTS-8 Coupe on its first proper outing

Testing the GTS-8, experiencing some clutch slippage, and a little bit of mild caning around to get a feel for the car.

Thanks! Not far from completing it, just have to build a custom sump & cams for the new motor, then it will be ready to drop in. Have given it a bit of a panel & paint too :)

love this thing mate, it's indeed a beast

any word on the hybrid you are/were building?

See above, not far to go... the machining done to the block and heads of the new setup should bring it to 10.76:1 compression, not bad!

American V8s are sweet, but the Nissan V8 is better than many due to having a high volumetric efficiency, excellent design originating from group C prototype Le Mans racing, light weight, and is very cheap for what you get. It comes standard with a very strong 6 bolt bottom end.

Yeah, 220kg minus exhaust manifolds... it's lighter than turbo RB engines.
