Posted this in the next Skyline section but fits in here as well.

The new GTR around Laguna Seca, up against 911TT, and the guys filming hand timed the GTR going around quicker.

Also seen a shot from the same people, but couldn't see it in the article which shows a twin turbo engine with paddle shift gearbox.

it's not a f*cking skyline!!!!!!!!!

It's a NISSAN GTR. my goodness, it's not that hard to take on board...

Yes its called the Nissan GT-R, but cant you see the inheritance it gets from all the skylines?

I wouldn't want it to be a skyline anyways, the V35/36 already ruined skylines, they never should have made them.

oh for sure it's part of the skyline lineage in a sense, but if any of these "reputable" places are paying attention for 1 second about this car, they would have realised that from the CEO's very own mouth, it's a Nissan GTR. The 'GTR' is its own model now. Whether it will be like that forever, who knows... but for now, that's the way it is. You can't call a car something that it isn't.

And for goodness sakes, it's being released this year, quit with the 2009 crap already.

V35 V36 screwed skylines? Where on earth did you get this idea from? They are brilliant cars and are a much better package the the previous cars. Ohh wait it doesn't have a turbo can't be good eh. Maybe you are thinking of a different bunch of cars when you think of skylines, but from what I know of the lineage V35 and V36 fit in perfectly. As does the timing of the New GTR.

Here Here!!!!!!

OH wait the R30 did that too, funny that, isnt that a cult classic car?

have you ever driven a 350z. Before you say silly comments like the v35 ruined skylines you should they are an incredible engine, sooo much torque, so smooth, and yet so economical, my mums 350z gets 10.5l/100km AROUND TOWN, sure she drives conservatively but no matter how you drive your RB sereis you aint ever going to get that low.

Cant wait for the driveline info to come out.....

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
