Why not go and have a nice cup of tea and try accessing this page in five minutes?

still looks too much

its not the year 2156 yet

[foznice]

isn't that a little old. Hasn't it already been at the tokyo motor show?

[GT-R32]

I am excited.

Only thing that is wrong is the GTR has always has an association with the 'ring. Nurburgring in under 8 mins? The R33 did Nurburgring in 7.59 (fastest production car of its time around there). Nissan are apparently aiming for 7.28, which is f**k off fast, so I reckon realistically they are aiming for 7.40 (Porsche 911 Turbo time if I remember correctly).

[Rezz]

And the use of a European rather than Japanese circuit is a clear indicator of just how significant the European market will be for the GT-R.

*Rather* than a Japanese circuit? The Nurburgring has always been the benchmark for testing... Nissan didn't just suddenly say "Hey! European market is huge! Gotta get some of that action... lets go to Nurburgring!" lol

GT-R32: yep you're right there, under 8 minutes for the next GT-R as quoted on that sight tells me the writer doesn't quite know what he talking about.

bloody hell this thingis gonna hammer. and its going to have a tremendous amount of torque. although, maybe a 4-litre engine is too much, how will that conflict with the high revving nature of past skylines?

am i the only one who is sad that the RB series of engines is no longer being used?

Never heard of the VQ35HR in the current Z33 series 2 and V36 sedan? 232kw @ 6,800rpm high enough for you? Granted an extra 500cc might change that a little but I'm sure Nissan can find a way to counter 'low revving nature'. I'm not agreeing that the new GT-R will be 4.0L btw, far from it.

[ras1983]

no, i actually like the 8000rpm redline of the RB26 (let alone the 9000rpm redline of some rebuilt rb's). the sound, my god the rb sounds amazing at high revs. although i could see increased reliability with an engine that develops its peak power at a lower rpm.

I would have preferred a straight six. People have complained about the six leaving the M3s, but that car has always been about a fast 3 series, they strarted with a 4cylinder and have moved to a V8 of near twice the capacity.

The 'Skyline' has had a straight six for 50-odd years. The 'Skyline GTR' for a very long time. But this is only a 'GTR'. They are revolutionising the concept so I am happy regardless, but do prefer a straight six for sound and nostaglia reasons if I was to be picky. However there are undeniable advantages of the V6, involving packaging and mostly, cost. Bring it on.

The RB dies a f**king legend.

[andylaurel]

legendary for its infamously crap oil pumps...

the RB series of engine is 21 years old now. If they continued its production, nissan would be flogging a dead horse.

if Nissan didn't continually develop new engines, we'd still be tuning L series motors.

Yes, but the RB26 made 280ps @ 6800rpm too (same rpm as VQ35HR)... thats why I said 'is it high enough for you?'

Officialy it made that much, but we all know it was a fair bit more

LOL, i see your point.

well its a moot point anyway since i wont be able to afford it any time soon.

All the new king,

Posted and discussed many a times in the New Skyline thread..........but hey.....why not have my say again.

Lets just say that Renault...and Gosh are only interested in Marketing and sales.....not too much about ,performance and car enthusiasts.

I mean ...Why would they take so long to produce this car...and why have they been so public with it.....maybe just checking the interest?

It is true though....most real sport car manufacturers have or have nearly gone bust or had to be bailed out.

The image is more important than the performance.

The car is for the Mums and dads and tries to market to their sporting needs....like 4 wheel drives.

Who is going to take this out to the track?..lol....Who takes their X5's out into the Bush?

If you really like fast cars...(race cars or drag cars)This thing will cost you big $$$$ to mod...because everything will have to be custom.

So keep you pennies...buy a GTR34,33or32(Depending on your pref. or $$$) modify it to your liking and never look back....you will be on a winner.

Heres a pic of all 22 owners - except Amemiya Isami of RE Amemiya, he's a Mazda tuner of course - of Japanese tuning garages and parts companies say that they have already ordered (or are going to order) a 2008 GT-R for tuning/demo car purposes:

(taken from Option mag)

I'd say the next GT-R will be very well supported - eventually - for aftermarket tuning, so as far as custom stuff having to be made? Maybe not.

Lots of infomations have been floating around of the exact specs. As far as I know, Tremendous amount of torque ->YES.

4 litre engine -> NO. More likely 3.7l-3.8l. An 4.0 Litre six cylinder engine is plain silly for efficiency. The biggest capacity "efficient" six cylinder engine today is of Porsche 911 Carrera S, 3.8 Litre horizontal six. Note this is an N/A engine. Ford's straight sixes are in a different league.

Any larger displacement you would go V8 i.e. RS4 4.2FSI, F430 4.3l V8, NEW M3's 4.0L V8 and etc...
