emissions i believe.

those pics of the prototype have been around for a while (a year or two i think) and yeah its not happeneing, they will have the Lexus LF-A though, which i think is its flagship sports car, but should have alot of luxury aswell. should be on the hung for some upper class cars like the M3, porkas, and even astons... very nice lookin prototype though

looks hot as! any reason why car manufacturers have canned the TT in-line 6's for TT V6's and V8's?? hopefully they have a bit more enginebay room than the 300zx... just looking at my engine bay hurts!

They got rid of inline 6's for packaging, probably. Inline sixes need longer engine bays, and it pulls your centre of gravity further forward.

Having a longer crank (relative to a V engine) also means it has to be relatively strong, apparently, because of how the force is applied in it.

The reason why they got rid of those specific inline 6's (the JZ and the RB) is because of emissions. They are pretty old engines...even though inlines tend to sound better and be smoother than V's.

overall it looks like a great car but i must say, not too keen on the front grill, the back lights look like something from an s2000 or a mazda.

apart from that it looks great!

how heavy is it, and why the v8?

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
