If its whoever hit the gtr's fault than it would be their insurance paying, that is if they had insurance.

Eh and they had the cheek to say "What were Nissan thinking" about the 180km speed limiter when they obviously didn't do their home work to realise its GPS limited to race tracks in Japan. It would only be fare to do a time with a Aus release GTR. (fingers crossed IT doesn't have a 180km limiter)

Did anyone stop to think that out of all the GTR's that have been sold thus far that there are going to be incompetent drivers and drivers who are not used to using a paddle shifter? Probably a lot of over excited over revved down changes and accidental downshifts in to first (does it allow you to?). I'd say considering its been used already to some degree in motor sport with out any or many issues thus far proves something. Until with out a shadow of doubt theres no glitches with the gearbox than I don't see why they should recall them or honour warranty's. Would probably work out cheaper to give new owners a track day to learn to drive them first lol

Sorry if this as been posted elsewhere but Blitz you mentioned that some GTR's are about to be registered in Sydney. Any idea how much they will cost on road?

Hey Nick just seen ur post, now I don't have to preach to u anymore u can do ur own research haha

Exactly right!! Talk about setting a new bench mark, being able to excel in all disciplines and still be street driven NOW thats a car

The character will come out in the modified examples which is what our scene is all about.

Well I don't know what those journos are complaining about, they are there to pick faults in a car and the best they can come up with is "it has no character" well I guess as Skyline Man says cause its so perfect. I mean I think thats the idea of producing a new generation car isn't it? Just because Nissan can build a near perfect car for so cheap it makes super car brands look like rip offs. I guess the character in Lambo is it looks like every other Lambo same for Porsche and well Ferrari I guess if you want to spend the $$$ for their top line car than you won't find one that pushes the envelope.

I wonder if those specs they mention are just speculative as surely nissan won't of released details as yet.

Its funny you know the whole brand name thing, I was talking to my friends Grandfather the other week and he was telling me if I'd considered getting a Porsche instead of say a GTR. I wouldn't for the simple reason I hate the poser element of owning one, it just seems like snobbery and thats not why I buy the cars I do.

Cheers mate, since initially reading 10.5psi I have been wondering what power it would make at 1.2bar or more with stockers. (edit before some smart arse comments) That is once modders crack the factory ecu

The whooshing of the wind and the slight whine of the turbos at 1.2 bar of boost as you're approaching the wrong side of the "law" is simply addictive. Just wondering you say 1.2 bar but when I read the official specs it says the turbos deliver 10.5psi? 1.2 bar makes more sense but just want to know if you or anyone else can clarify. Btw good read

Yeh I know why it weighs as much as it does, but the V-spec is going to weigh a little less due to probably a lack of what I mentioned previously. Basically what I'm trying to say is its a street car first and foremost so why worry about the weight if it can still hall arse. Hell even the European exotics aren't all that light. Let us know how the test drive goes Adam

Exactly but its these same people who complain about the weight who wouldn't sacrifice leather, AC and stereo either not to mention sound deadening lol

I'm sick and tired of hearing people go on and on about the weight of the new GTR. Its as simple as this, you want a super car you buy a GTR and if you want a race car than get the V-spec version.
