Nissan GT-R Track Pack Test



Nissan GT-R supercar is arguably the easy and fun to drive. Capable of above average regular car, can control such as mothers use daily. 

But with the performance is still there who feel unsatisfied with their performance. Therefore, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.. Create a version with better performance. Well, apparently deliberately made hard suspension next to the better performance. Why is that? 

The various components are made in order to improve the performance of the Nissan GT-R R35 is. Sure, its reference fixed on the Nissan GT-R Spec-V that was designed for the circuit. This time, the version more supportive of the racing weekend, made another version of the Track Pack with more rigid body and the suspension is more suited to track racing. 

Uniquely, the front suspension is made harder on side, adjusted with more weight on the right, In addition, the propeller shaft to drive the front wheel was located more to the right side. In addition to a different spring rate front, the rear swing arm also was asymmetric. So when this car is stop, look sideways, but after use control and stability is better perceived by the driver. But while this Track Pack is made for the Japanese market and the UK who hold the right wheel. 

That of the suspension, while the other sectors in the legs is the brake. Brakes also improved its performance, using a ceramic material which is faster and more stable temperature is decreased to maintain the deceleration when braking quickly. 

Engine power improved again, but there are things that when viewed as opposites. Because the emissions and fuel consumption is made more efficient. Of course energy efficiency have occurred in the machine 'upgrade' this. 

Maximum power increased from 522 hp to 550 rpm while the torque dk/6.000 also jumped from 612 Nm to 632 Nm in the range 3200 to 5200 rpm. Of course this is due to changes in ignition timing, valve timing control, a mixture ratio of air and a few other things like the use of the individual intake manifolds per cylinder, and penggunanan intercooler pipe from resin the larger diameter. 

The valve also increased with lighter materials and work in lower temperatures, because the valve using a sodium metallic materials. Likewise, the channel inlet and exhaust flow is facilitated. 

Meanwhile, the body is made more rigid character adjusting mounts that are made for racing. Other adjustments to the character's race racing, which improved the workings of the transmission double clutch, so as not to move too 'soft' so that the displacement takes place quickly and feel of sport is very pronounced. The differential oil also using R35 Competition (SAE 75W140) that were previously only used for competition cars.
