1. This car will never be sold in Australia so -> who cares. 2. Any company can make a car that goes fast - but the low rent interior of previous GT-R`s makes them junk. 3. This car is not in the same class as a Porche and never will be.

got to like when idiots have access to the net

will have to wait for the 997 GT2. It will be good to see the 2 new twin turbo 4WDs having a good crack at Nords

As the title says, Looks like the GTR is on the right path to become the best/fastest car to roll off the production line!

Like we had any doubts........... :rolleyes:

I doubt it.

The new GTR will be a pig of a car weighing in at 1740kg, will only be available in automatic, and will come with run-flats as standard.

The hyped up times for the GTR is similar to the previous sub 8 minute time..........i.e. they were never proven and they were never official times.

how much for a roof on the ariel atom? is it roadworthy?

Well.. it's not really a car - I just like stirring the pot.

It's quicker than a Carrera GT and only just behind the Enzo on the Top Gear test track.. I don't think the new GTR could catch it on a smaller track, will have to wait and see.

wow 1740kgs is a fair bit of weight! but it's understandable because even with the older gtr's they've had trouble keeping the weight down but they were jam packed with goodies! oh yeah i remember reading in some magazine it'll come with a 7 speed clutchless gearbox! well that's what i read

Well I have seen the spy video of a V36GTR (yes I think you are correct Turbz) absolutely hosing a turbo Porsche around the Nurburgring - so regardless of the weight they are going to be fast. Not sure about the 1,700kg+ thing - you would have thought they would make them lightweight components.

I applaud their decision to use a 7 speed tiptronic gearbox - would be even more excited if they used a modified/variable CVT system too - would be very interesting with the grunt of a VQ35DETT (or whatever they end up putting in them). I can't rave enough about my stock R34 tiptronic gearbox - it is unreal (and I save up to 1/2 a second on every gear change compared with a manual). I am sure the GTR semi-auto box will be significantly more high-tech and brilliant to drive. I know manual purists will slay me here - but that is my very firmly-held opinion. I will love my tiptronic box even more once I get Mike from MVs to rebuild it with kevlar goodies, modified high-stall and valve body upgrade in the near future. :)

actually the V36 is currently in production, and seeing as the new GTR is branching off the Skyline family, it'll have a totally seperate chassis designation.

in any case, its actually a GOOD thing for us aussies if they DON'T sell the GTR in australia. Why? Well lets put it this way... say Nissan Australia wants to sell the new GTR here for around $150,000. Nissan Japan wants to sell it over there for about $100,000. If its not sold in australia, we can import it. If we can import it, add luxury tax, GST and compliance and all that... and you'll save about $30,000 on it :) Plus there's no cap on how many are imported, but nissan australia can control how many are sold locally.

The word is that the V35GTRs will be available here within 2 years for the very cheap price of around $120k. I will DEFINITELY be grabbing one!!! :) Find me a quicker car for the money!

they are going to sell in Japan for around 75 to 80k...

still think 120k is cheap??

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
