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?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
