mmmm is this confirmed from any other sources?

I like the front better than the other concept photos, the dip between the headlight and the bonnet makes it look tougher i recon...

Don't like those gay white rear lights tho

And just in case you don't subscribe, this was the text from Geoff at Prestige:

The next GT-R has been confirmed for release at the end of 2007 with a 3.6L twin turbo VQ based engine generating 450ps. But starting at 9 million yen (AUD$108,000) it won't be cheap...

For pictures, see: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul....php?storyid=21

Allow a good year or two following release in Japan before the first of these machines hits Australian shores thanks to the red tape of SEVS. So if you want one you may have to wait until about 2009.

Based on the price in Japan, it would cost about $150,000 to have one on the road in Australia. So it would be worthwhile waiting for at least 2 to 4 years for the price to fall to a more realistic level.

Give it 5 to 8 years, and the price should be in the $50,000 to $60,000 range like the current price of R34 GTR's.

To be honest though, who wants to wait 5-8 years? I better start saving now!!!

I love the front more than the Proto. The N1 ducts and the angle of the headlights are great throwbacks to the previous GTR's as well as being functional. The great big intercooler warms my heart as well.

If it retails anywhere near $108k over here my deposit is down already.

Wooah Nelly! I gotta get me one of these!! :(

Interesting to note that the pics from this magazine show the car as being badged "Skyline". After all of this talk about it no longer being the Nissan Skyline GTR, but now being called Nissan GTR to separate it from the JDM family cars! I hope it does keep the Skyline name, as it's been with the car since its inception. It would be a shame to lose it simply for marketing purposes.

Looks like it's had some pretty drastic revisions since I saw the last concept. Gotta say I'm liking the new look though, seems more true to its roots (closer resembles the R34) now and less of a 'next gen' concept. That and the fact that it's packing a pair of snails now

Hmm now to secure that high paying job lol...

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWoooooooooooo hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God dam it hurry up!!!!!!!!!

1 Just to get my licence back in time lol

2 get off the minium wage.

3 Promise G/f that i am saving for a house.

that about covers it.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
