but why would u want a 6pd as opposed to paddle flappers? seriously? do people think they can change faster then 0.2 seconds and as smoothly? or is it the fanboy thing to want cause all real drivers use them?

i could understand if it came with a farkin 3 speed auto out of a VL ffs.

I had a year with that God forsaken VL auto box-o-shit... I would've rather been hung-drawn and quartered, then forced to wear a barbed wire G-string for all eternity...

I've never seen or used a crappier 'box' in my life, I could've designed a better one with a dozen empty tuna cans, polly pipe, nail clippers, a tub of mobile oil, and pin-ball machine parts....

I wasn't a big fan of the prototype but I must admit I do like the outcome of the new GTR. Still a shame that it just doesn't seem aggresive like the R32/R33/R34 but times are changing and I think nissan is onto a good thing. I wonder if I can take one for a test drive even though I would never be able to afford just the bonnet.

simple things like cosmetic looks will no doubt be the first to be altered by bodykits and such, so if nissan doesn't make it look "tough" in standard form, then it can be changed. That said, for some reason the toughest looking R32, R33 and R34 GTR's have all been standard Nissan V-Spec or Nismo editions.

just saw that.....reminds me of the hummer - it just looks all blocky

reminds me of a jeep wrangler interior... esp those vents and HUD.

Talk about information overload though... all those gauges and buttons... and guys never read the instruction manual so it'll be a month of windscreen wipers goin on when you want to change the track on your CD.

I 100% agree, the Nismo kits are just tuff and if the GTR ever comes with an option like that so called "Evolution" it would be one SEXY car! I can't wait to see what Nismo do to this thing :rolleyes:

you are missing the point funkeh, no one is ever meant to be in the back seat. lol. unless you're back there getting the sword shined... :P

Hahahahahahaha :rolleyes:

and risk spilling the polish onto the alcantara? nevar!

Hahahahahahaha :P

RB26DETT ---> VR38DETT - Aluminium block V6...gonna be one amazing powahplant :yes:

I would be happy with DSG any day. Not sure how many of you have never missed a gear on the race track, but I sure have.

Yeh, i have missed gears, and i understand its application in a race car. But for me its a road car and part of that is pushing pedals and rowing up and down the gears. I have only had brief drives of paddle shift cars and they are ok but it sucks coming down the free off ramp and just puching a paddle rather then doing all the work yourself.

To me its about fun....just like i used to think havign a sequential manual woudl be cool until i was in a car with one and realised how big a pain in the ass it was. To me its a shame the same companyy that came up with the 240Z, well i was hoping its styling would be better.

That all said the price makes it attractive

I'd like to take this opportunity to start the rumour that VR stands for "Very Racy"... i'm sick and tired of shmucks thinking RB stands for "Race Bred"... so this is my revenge.

l agree about the DSG thing I reckon a manual would be more fun if not a little slower...

but I guess I'll just have to keep the 32 and have the new one aswell.....

Slow=fun? :)

you can still bash the gear selector up and down like a sequential, no clutch pedal.

from the GTR website;

Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
