Those pics are only prototypes.

If you look at the 350z, they kept chopping and changing the design up untill a month before release. Changed the front air dam design slighty around the time of the motorshow in sydney.

Expect to see a twin turbo charged engine, from the 350z, based on the FM platform, with a new variation of attessa 4wd traction, and 4 round lights at the rear as well.

But i wouldnt be suprised if they went for the 4.5L V8 engine from the infinity model.

No matter what though, you will be garanteed that The new GT-R will be the showcase for Nissans techonology and engineering. It has generations of racing pedigree behind it.

This model should elevate it from a 'super' car to a real supercar and hand the Europeans a big can of whoopass !

I don't think they've even confirmed whether the GTR will come to Australia or not. I believe the head dude of Nissan Oz says if they came in RHD, then he'd like to get them here but i have a feeling it's mainly up to Japan. I just hope they change the final version heaps, apparently after the first concept was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show they got a lot of negative feedback and word is that they have changed the look heaps. Hope so.

I doubt Nissan will bring a + $100,000 car into Australia. Nissan Australia lost heaps on the 100 R32 GTRs that it brought in. Mind you $110,000 in 1990/91 was a hell of a lot of dosh!

Let's face it Australia doesn't have the population (or maturity, history - insert appropriate noun) to accept high priced and high tech Japanese cars. Honda's NSX is the exception but even this one sells less than a dozen per year Australia wide.

From what I have read, saw and been told, the new model GT-R wont be a R35, the model has changed to V35 reflecting the use of the 3.5L V6 engine the VG series of engine.

Also the Skyline Sedan and Coupe models still 'kinda' retain the afterburner tail lights, you can see them when the brakes are on although the styling doesn't reflect that during the day.

An article quoted by the chief designer from Nissan Japan stated that the GT-R will/might be a VG35DETT ie. 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 engine with a quoted power rating of 206Kw's (yeah right, they only say that so the governement wont get the wobblies)

ans as Nismodified said, the photos are only concepts, prototypes and artists renditions. No one will really know what the V35 GT-R will look like until it's released at the Tokyo Motor Show later this year.

Nissan Australia will proabably sell the GT-R on an 'as need' basis. Rather than imported 100-200-300 etc. GT-R's into Australia they will look at who has put their hand up for one and get that amount.

Look at HSV's HRT427, 20 people put down deposit's on the car at the Sydney Motor show, even before HSV confirmed that the car was going to be built. and that bu**er is $250,000.

"I'm Kent Brockman, and that was my two cents"

Im curious to know if the new GT-R will be a called a V35? The V35 is the model up from the R34 which is already out now the skyline V35 GT, but if the new GT-R isnt a skyline.Which is what ive heard (just nissan GT-R) Technically it cant be called a V35 GT-R let alone R35 GT-R :P

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
