In 2009 Nissan entered the R35 GTR FIA-GT1 in the SUPER GT series,
GT500 class, which is the highest level in Japanese domestic motorsports.
In 2009 changes were made that included improved air-cooling system
and a paddle-shift transmission.
R35 GTR FIA-GT1
features a front mounted naturally aspirated 5.6litre V8 engine,
a VK56DE. The VK develops 600hp and more than 650Nm of torque.
For the transmission a Ricardo 6 speed transaxle via a 5.5? carbon
triple plate clutch has been fitted.
The materials
for the body parts on the R35 GTR FIA-GT1 are replaced with lighter
materials like Carbon fibre. Carbon brakes and pads replace the
stock Brembo brakes. The braking system consists of a 6 piston
front and 6 piston rear calipers. Wheels on the GT1 Nissan race
car are a set of 18inch x 13inch
wide Rays Forged Wheels.
