Towards Nismo Clarion GT-R LM 95

Here is the TA24161 a 1/24 Scale Nismo Clarion GT-RLM from low rider Series from Tamiya. Suited to Ages 14 or over. In 1995, Nissan's racing division NISMO made general public their intention to challenge the recognized Le Mans 24 hour endurance race. They've boldly announced their target of winning the battle within 36 months, and NISMO ready their GT-R LM racing device the exciting project.

Even though racer retains some outside resemblance using its road legal model, every component ended up being modified to withstand the punishment this grueling event provides. Its 2568cc in-line six cylinder engine, with twin turbo chargers produce a wonderful 600 plus horsepower and 67kg/m torque. This tremendous energy is delivered to the back tires via a X-Trac built sequential six rate transmission. The four wheel double wishbone suspension system has almost the exact same construction as Nissan's highly competitive GrC machines raced during the 1980's. Front side and backside 18 inches wheels are fitted with wide racing sticks, and ventilated disk brakes offer good stopping energy.

The 1995 Le Mans occasion started on 17 June, with two GR-R's among the list of contenders. One GT-R had been sponsored by Clarion, a Japanese vehicle sound manufacturer. It ran in fifth place for awhile, but regrettable transmission difficulty forced it to retire from race; but its promising performance revealed that the NISMO GT-R LM is likely to be a significant contender in a long time.
