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.....

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
