Saw some chatter regarding this in another thread but only pix available.

I have found some footage of the New GTR in testing at the Nurburgring. Privately recorded, This isnt any offical release of media. (spy footage) Teaser for all you fellow Skyline lovers :thumbsup:/

As far as I am concerned... the only true Skylines were the R32, R33 & R34... the rest are not Skyline like...

That's why it's called the Nissan GTR, not Skyline.

Believe it or not when the R34 came out there was a lot of people saying that that wasn't a real skyline as well. Probably the same for the R33, R32 etc.

As for the true Skyline, I think the C10 owns that name. The Skyline was around way before the r32.

Before the turbos Skylines were N/A including the legendary C10. They then went turbo and are now going back to N/A, who knows what will happen next. As for factory performance the V35 350GT Coupe, is a better performer all round compared to the R34 Gtt. Quicker out of the box, much much better interior.

As much as some Skyline lovers, love the turbo's, I'm pretty sure Nissan is more interested in selling as much cars as possible, instead of catering to the relatively small, grey import market in Australia, and other countires. All you have to do is look at how successful the V35 (G35) has been in the US, and you can bet your a$$ that they won't be going to an R34 like Skyline any time soon.

Personally I think the new GTR finally has the body and look to match it's performance.

But I'm probably a bit biased, seeing as I've bought a V35 :-)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
