The
3.0 liter, twin-turbo Nissan V6 installation in Rollcentre Racing's Dallara
LMP, Sebring 2005. While plagued with engine management issues at
the Sebring meeting, it ran strongly until gearbox issues took the car
out of the running. |
The
engine comes out of Nismo's (Nissan Motorsports) JGTC division. |
At
Le Mans 2005 the 3.0 liter Nissan was bumped up in capacity to 3.6 liters. |
At
Sebring Martin Short very proudly pointed out to me the piece of cooper
tubing sourced personally by him from a local Sebring boat yard and used
to protect a turbo intake pressure sensor. Very thrifty of you Mr.
Short! |

The
semi-automatic control unit resides next to the gearbox. |
