Have to remember that it isn't just about the chassis. The engine will need to be fine tuned for Australian conditions. They were having issues with their throttle system and what not. Just because the chassis is the same doesn't mean that all the systems are the same.

I also suspect it doesn't help having only three months to build 3 cars and get them tested. There might not be testing but I reckon T8 and other will have had cars on test beds looking at all sorts of different setups and the like.

It also doesn't help that Maro Engle is basically useless for developing the car at races. He's going to be flat out learning the tracks and the series. Look at Premat last year and this year so far.

I suspect a year of pain ahead for both Nissan and Erebus. Not so sure about next year though.
