ZMANALEX Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I would like to thank Zmanalex for giving me the chance to be his passenger Wanted to see what the GTR could do and how it handled on such a tight track, I must say it was amazing and lived up to my expectations Thanks Alex you a top man Paul was that the white gtr in the video? sounded sweet, guess it ain't standard Think it's had the cobb upgrades. Rubbish, standard except for the Milltek, however Cob, Brake upgrade and transmission cooler soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish, standard except for the Milltek, however Cob, Brake upgrade and transmission cooler soon. is the tranny cooler needed? Absolutely Anders, On normal road driving the transmission temps will sit at circa 85 degrees C all day long. On track it does not take long to reach 125 degrees which is getting close to dangerous and expensive territory. Because of the over temperature issues I have to swop out the fluids every 1000 miles. If it reaches 135 then I would have to swop out the fluids immediatelyand get the clutches adjusted and realigned. The water cooled transmission cooler which is on the car as stock is inefficient when pushing on, so an after market thermostatically controlled oil cooler kit with a larger sump and front mounted rad is necessary.

Still not seen Alex on the track, how does a highly modified zed compare to a near standard gtr? Well Alex was hitting 124mph on the straight when i was in the GTR and he said that in the roadster he hits 130mph !!! and is alot more fun to drive Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Fail on their part, obviously not built to be pushed on as you say from factory. Thought that was a car you didn't need to make much upgrades to to take her out on track. Brakes are they also not good enough? Expensive to get 10 more degress, I'd call that pushing on the limits, must be hard to control that How's that gearbox holding up???
