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??

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
