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.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
