To tell the truth, I do not understand what this relationship means.
JMIA is a society to promote the Japanese motor sports industry.
JRP(Japan Race Promotion, Promoter of Formula Nippon and FCJ(Formula Challenge Japan)) doesn't want to use the Japanese chassis.
Therefore, GTA promoted the sales of the JAF-GT300 Mother chassis plan to GTA in 2009.
It was a union chassis plan with the tubular frame chassis(sorry, not CFRP monocoque) and the carbon crash structure.

However, GTA announced the introduction of "reasonable" FIA-GT3 afterwards. There is a rumor that Nissan develops FIA-GT3 spec GTR, too.
Therefore, this mother chassis plan seems not to be adopted.

COX (agency of Porsche) sold four GT3Rs.
There are teams that buy GT3R directly from Europe, too.
The 1st GT3R(from COX) was delivered to Team ART Taste. They participate in GT300.
Team Direction bought two GT3Rs (from COX). The one for GT300 and the other is for ST-X. The driver line-up (for GT300) is Carlo van Dam(!), Hiroshi Hamaguchi(former Shiden driver), and Akira Mizutani. They are the tire development team of Yokohama for GT3R.
Besides these, four team are planning the activity with GT3R (in GT300 or ST-X).

So this is where NOB has ended up. Hope the Dubai winning car is competitive in GT300.

A FIA GT3 GT-R? That would be pretty cool, maybe Nissan's response to Super Taikyu running GT3 cars?

With GT300 allowing more GT3 cars in, is it possible they're taking a year off with the Z and trying to sell some GT3 GT-Rs for 2012?

Thanks Samurai,
Do you think, we could see also Mercedes SLS and Audi R8 LMS of STX, in the 2011 GT300 ?

Super GT has the test limitation regulation during the season.
Therefore, the S-GT driver will not be admitted to enter the ST-X class.
There is a possibility if it is a driver different from S-GT.
Mercedes SLS's delivery will become 2012.

We'll see this year (as Honda changed the car).

But obviouslly, in racing you allways try to improve on any weak points your car may have, am I right?

AUTOSPORT report about 2011 model HSV-010
The apertural area of engine air intake became sideways wide. This purpose is to avoid the influence of the exhaust of forward car.
The air duct for the side radiator is set up on a front suspension arm.

Honda says aerodynamic disadvantage was already recovered during last season. But side mounted radiator changes an internal air flow. So additional development is required.
