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...

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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
