seeing as its out of reach for most it may be more constructive to speculate on whats going to happen to the prices of the current and previous generations of GTR's...

any thoughts?

The pricing for the new GTR seems reasonable considering all the hype that has been going on leading up to the launch...anyone who was contemplating or can afford an R34 GTR at 70K would definately be considering the newer option...

On the other hand, the price of 34GTRs will probably drop a fair bit making it affordable to 33 and 34GTT owners to upgrade :D

so wat are the differences (except for the price) between the base model and 'hispec' model?

i thought there was three:

a base model

a V-Spec

and an Evolution?

i heard that the Evolution model had 400kw or so?

i read that somewhere.....dont quote me.

I think those prices are good for what you get....however whether or not nissan struggles to sell them remains to be seen. Yes there are a lot more people earning bigger bucks these days but Nissan will have to be able to sway them from brands such as porsche etc.

My understanding about the differences between the two models does justify the prices difference. Unconfirmed of course but I hear rumours of around about 100ps/hp power hike....lightweight interior and possibly cage.....bigger brakes/wheels and other enhancements.

As for what it will do to the pricing of 34/33/32 gtrs it will be interesting....IMHO I think the 34 price will drop but 33/32's won't be affected as much.

I think, from what I remember reading, the Evolution model is coming out something like 2 years later and so they haven't set its price yet.

The R32 GTR sold for $110,00 and that is in 1992 ( Im pretty sure, maybe 1991).

They only bought in 100 and could not even sell all of them, they struggled to shift the last few!

Relatively that was a lot of money back then (is today as well) plus the recession was caining everyone 18% interest rates :S

what are we all going to talk about once the car is released? there will be no more guessing... spy shots... wishful thinking

all it will be in hearing about some rich mofo who has bought one and brings it on cruises occassionally... just like when the 34 gtrs were very rare and $110k plus

I remember reading the same thing

But still.. 135 is not bad when you consider the new M3 is about 150 or so by the time we see it. I would expect the evo to be about the 150k when it comes out.

As for how many they will sell, hard to say. Depends on what you wanted. If you wanted the badge and did not care for absolute performance then you would go an M3 or Boxster, but if you wanted the fastest, then you'd go the GTR?

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
