I don't really mind...if nissan says it's a GTR and it's gonna have a twin turbo V something with 400hp and still the legendary grip...then it will be good enough for me...and i am really really growing fond of those VQ's like the 350 GT and the 350 Z.

I already thought of doing a conversion on a R32 coupe..the VQ is light as for the size and because of the V config, weight can be moved back in the engine bay which means better chance of attaining the 50/50 weight balance...

I don't like the shape that much as yet...the R34 is such a beast of a thing in the flesh...but i guess it's now moving to a more euro-style design with flowing lines and all....oh well. Wait and see. Can't wait to see one on the road ^^

Yeah, but you could say that the skyline 'shape' died with the 34, seeing as the 35 is pretty much a 350z with extra seats and an altered roofline.

IMO this thing is a half step back towards the 34 styling, the illegitimate lovechild of a 34 and a 35 even.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
