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

Shouldn't you be calling it a Prince then?

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

Non GT-R Skyline coupes have always been sporty grand tourers (as opposed to the more luxury ones like the Soarer). The V35 still does an admirable job of it. Its a lot more luxury than older Skylines, but its no more boaty (considering the era we live in, and all the safety / emissions requirements) than its R3x predecessors. It still handles very well in its class.

gotta do what you gotta do to beat the competition *cough* 911 turbo *cough* - you never know, the new Audi R8 is available in both, could be the same for the GTR.

If it makes it quicker than a 911 Turbo, i don't care what it's got

awd dsg with very quick shift and lack of gear change logic unless in "auto" mode... down for that!

wonder if it will be remotely affordable or so expensive you will have to wait for over 10-20 years to afford it.

911 turbo teritory...OUCH@!

Man, haven't been this excited since i first heard my car go psssssshhhhewww! (blow off valve in case i spelt it wrong :-)

as a Skyline fan, I enjoyed the fact that previous GTR's could hold their own against much more expensive exotics, and the fact that so far the idications are that the GTR will do this again, has put a big smile on my face.

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.....

Dude, I got 11.99 on the highway once.

What does the 997 Turbo lap the Nur in?

The C6 is equal with the 997 GT3 and thats <1/2 the price too.

Z06. The C6 is a complete barge.

Nurburgring track times. Its a Wiki so I don't know how accurate it is, but the Z06 time sounds about what I've heard quoted elsewhere.

I got that low.. I got 616km to a tank. So ner ;)

man, so excited! sounds like they got the performance right (quicker than a 911 turbo) but just hope they can keep the price competitive.

my brother works for BMW (marketing) and he's like "meh, it's a Nissan" (stupid closed minded fool) and i keep telling him, it will be better than ANYTHING bmw has in the performance market, and will be cheaper if not the same price as the new M3 (V8) but the M3 won't be able to touch this car. Neither will the M3 CSL, of which the 22 have already been sold. M3/M5/M6, either not quick enough or too big (but still not quick enough)

can't wait for these to hit the streets, aaaaaand to rub my bro's face in it ;)

Unfortunately that close mindedness is why BMWs can sell for a higher premium than Nissans.

Reality may not be statistical, but unfortunately your brother's a marketing parasite so he doesn't live in reality.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
