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:

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.

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
