Hi'

The new GTR will be a flop...because no European Nation will buy it (Cost of petrol and premiun price tag )and it will be priced $240K plus if it ever hits Australias shores.

It will end up being badged Infinity in the USA and people will be able to buy it around $50K US

They might sell a few in the US though.

Renault is only after the glory with Nissan....to be able to control a Japanese car manufacturer.

The high volume mass market is the dreams of these companies...world dominance is another.

Nissan is going gay because some gay French dude is designing them that way. :P

Yep, I particularly hate the way they bailed out & turned around a company that was rapidly going broke. Personally, I will never forgive them for that.

I'm with you mate. How dare they resurrect the company that gave us the Datto 1600 - Silvia - GTR etc. Gees what is the world coming too?

$240k? hahahahahaha, not a chance, try about $170K - won't be close to $200K.

If they do this petrol/electric thing, i can't see petrol being a "huge" problem, plus someone spending $150k on a car is not worried about petrol.

so.... in other words... no

Hi Daniel,

I could not buy a gtr32 New because it was priced at $110,000Aus in 1990.

The NEW GTR will be built for the Yanks in Left hand drive.(INFINITY BADGED)

They will have to tool up to sell to England,Australia,Japan for Right hand drive.

Plus the thing is a stand alone item with no other sibblings.

NO GTT,GTX,STAGEA which appeal to the general public.

Good luck if you think Renault , a European Company is going to produce a Porsche 911 Killer.

And loose cred by selling it to us for $150KAus.

Where would the logic be to that . Porsche 911 Turbo $340KAus last I looked.

But maybe they have this worked out and are willing to give us a RENAULT GTR Porche killer cheaply :P

The Yanks buy a Hummer for $40KUS fully loaded with leather.etc. and sell it to us for $200KAus.

Just stating the past...Even the Q45Infinity landed in Australia and sold for $120KAus..or did you forget.

Cheers

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
