Hi Everyone,

Some opinions please. With all the speculations on the Next R35 GTR, I stumbled on this little beauty. Could the next GTR posses the same detuned engine as seen in the R390 Lemans Special? We've all been guessing V6 or V8, Twin Turbo or Not, VQ33 or VQ35?? How about this VQ35 V8 Twin Turbo producing 550hp follow this link R390 Lemans.

This site also mentioned the probability of this engine being fitted to the R35 scroll to bottom of the page.

To me this seems the most likely, seeing most companies including porsche develop their performance ranges based on detuned Lemans versions.

I don't think so about these pics coz they were just a computer-generated ones. As you've seen the prototype of the GT-R (I can't find the pics), the pics on the site you gave, when you look closly, the body, bumpers, lights, all are based on the ER34 (does anybody agree with me???). that's why I think that could not be possible to be out of like that.

It's just my openion......

A couple of points to be made here.

There was an article by the chief designer of the new GT-R and he stated that the car WILL have the Afterburner lights...

"If it doesn't have the round lights, then it's not a Skyline" that was a direct quote.

also, they are no longer the 'R' models, they have changed to 'V'

so it's the 'V35' Skyline GT-R.

and finally, [ryan] was correct, the most possible course of action for the new GT-R is a Twin Turbo 3.5L V6 with the ATTESSA 4WD system.

The Audi TT, Soarer and 350Z all look the same.. Yuk.

The new Infiniti Coupe in the US doesn't grab me to much either.

I hope the V35 GTR takes a new direction in design instead of being another TT look alike.

Also what was the talk of electric motors to provide the front wheel drive part of the equation ?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
