Why should it be the other way around???

I'd never used a sequential stick before the DSG and i kept pulling down a gear when i wanted to shift up. It "felt" more natural to pull down when accelerating due to the forces (maybe?). Even currently in the Stagea sequential auto, i still do it sometimes.

I've picked up a mag over here which has the first undisguised pics I've seen. The front is very clean with some very tasteful carbon detailing on the front sides and rear. It actually reminds me a little of the Carbon Burnout Kit I had on my CPV35.

Yes, well I havent broken it yet so its still on the 35 :(

I found an I O U in the glove box of the 35 today, I cant believe i didnt see it it before now! it says "This IOU entitles the new owner of this vehicle 1x Drive & 1x Hotlap in my soon to arrive GTR. Love Jeff"

Will be interesting to see how it holds up against the the 35 blown :)

Nissan are really being tight lipped about info on the new GTR. A good mate of mine Stephen Barnes,who works for northside said there was not extra details / specs he can provide when submitting a offer to purchase.

Stephen you are the second to put their name down, thats brilliant Jash.

BMW use to have their steptronic, UP to go up, DOWN to go down a gear. But reversed it in the new cars and to fall into step with their SMG boxes as they felt keeping it relative to the forces the driver is experiencing is more natural.

Accelerating you're being pushed back in your set, so PULL the gear stick back. Braking is the opposite, so PUSH the gearstick up...

that's what i think the logic was anyway...

not sure if it's been said but the V35 350GT has forward = up, back = down

i can't see nissan changing their mind, although in hte V35 its as simple as changing over 2 plugs to reverse the system if you're that way inclined. i'd say the GTR would offer the same option for those in the electrical know-how

Hahaha no shit aye! I was wondering why my gear changes were the opposite to the logos + & - printed on the shifter surround.

Yes it makes the action more natural this way!

Congrats on the order...

Why not have a box that moves left for down and right for up...like writing..lol......1 2 3 4 5 6

Who are the dumb f3$ks making these decisions?... :laughing-smiley-014:

The only reason the GTR is going to be priced that low is that we have had a surge in the Australian dollar.

My predictions was close to 200K about a year ago..most just laughed...

SO BE GRATEFULL FOR THE OZZY DOLLAR GUYS ;)

Thats what i was getting at. I cant believe they would even consider it the other way..

Anyway good luck to all the blokes lucky enough to have ordered one.

Although GTR_35 if you are taking delivery in 09 what year model will the car be stamped..

I imagine it will be 2009 build if it is a March delivery.

I will be in the first allocation, and this is the earliest ETA given.

Japan is first, then USA then Oz. Japan will start delivery by Christmas.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
