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??

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
