looks brilliant from the outside, nice and aggressive.

shame to see only 2 throttle bodies (and electric ones for that matter). Wonder what CAMS regs will say about the throttle return springs lol. Dipstick at the front looks a hell of a lot easier than that disaster in the 350z. Twin airboxes look good for flow, nice and large.

will be good once we see more engine/driveline details

This and the EVO X makes the new STi look VERY ordinary

Sure you can compare the evo with the suby but the GTR is in another league, no comparison with the other two..

What is your number in the Australian R35 GT-R queue, Jerry? :worship:

It is not mate , I never buy a car before I see it in the flesh and take it for a good spin. If and when it is sold here I will have a good look at it, take one for a long drive and only then I will consider , depending on price if I will put one in my garage.

If I decide to buy one then I will have another problem ..... what do I do with the M-spec.... Mick was going to be the next owner but he already got another car .....

Only a 7000RPM redline?

3.8L engine, Foo

I hope these '$80K' rumours come true (they wont)- Just imagine how badly that would decimate R34 GT-R prices :worship:

(commiserations to any current 34 owners ;))

350Z = $65k

R35 GT-R = A 350Z + 150hp (or more) + twin turbos + 7-speed DSG paddleshift tranny + AWD + 6-piston calipers with 380mm discs + carbon fibe + completely different engine = $80k?

seems more than a bit hard to bleev

The $80k is US pricing, which is just shy of what you'd pay for an M5 up there.

I suspect it will be about 120 - 140K here

How much do you pay for an M5 here? our German cars are ridiculously overpriced.

Fingers crossed our GTR pricing won't be relative to the M5 price for instance...

An RX8 is circa $30k in Japan and circa $60k here, for another example.

Interrio looks cool until i think about how high it appears, hope you dont get the feelign that you are driving an RV and not a sports car...but still the interior looks cool.

But, should have been a V8, even if it was only a small bore V8, V6 and clutchless sports cars are poo :dry:

The front looks VERY Aston Martin Vanquish-y to me! It looks more euro than jap. I guess they had to try and do something different.

Also agree GTR should be GTR and that's it. if they want lesser versions, call them GTST's again (though I think these are all AWD, so that would break the pattern).

Haven't seen a speedo with 80-100 where it is on this - looks whacky :dry: Although not much stranger than Audi's with their markings at 50-70-90 instead of 60-80 etc.

Friends don't let friends buy Bose, if I got one of these, I'd be ditching the sound system.

Also wish it was manual.

Bring on the R34 GTR price crash!! (but I think they will bear the brunt pretty well and hold their prices for some years yet).

But in the end, just glad Nissan are still making great performing cars! :thanks:

The current R34 looks to be a better buy with better looks and around the same performance as the new GTR.........well a 15 sec difference around the ring anyway.

Earlier, Mizuno-san (Nissan GTR engineer) had offered some lap times from the Nordschliefe for various cars driven by the German magazine SportAuto. Those times are driver-dependent, track-knowledge-dependent, weather-, traffic- and bunny-crossing-the-track dependent. But Mizuno suggested the GT-R could get anywhere from 7:44 on up, with most laps coming in between 7:55 and 7:58. So he suggested the GT-R's strong suit was that it offered "the best cost per lap time." For whatever that's worth.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
