Cinching down the chin strap of his helmet, Toshio Suezaki's appearance transforms just before his thumb deploys the tidy flush-mounted door catch of the 2009 Nissan GT-R. The factory test driver is innocuous and soft-spoken, but in this moment his eyes harden. It is behind the wheel of this car, still camouflaged to frustrate spy shooters, that Suezaki-san will wield violence incongruous with his bookish manner just minutes later

thats a nice article mate..for me any car thats 1750kg (if you convert the weight they gave in pounds it makes this) is just way too heavy. sure its fast - but imagine how much faster it would be if it weighed like..1400kg....itd be incredible.

as it stands now it weighs more than an Audi A8...and thats just ridiculous...fair enough its not a stripped out sports car.but a car with 5 years of development with GTR heritage shouldnot weigh 1750kg..thats Sedan/Mercedes etc territory.

Thats the best inside scoop yet. Damn what an article.

It stripped the 911 by 2 seconds and that, in slightly damp conditions!

i loved the way the designer referred to it as a robot and that it was never meant to be beautiful but original and unique!

Btw i will be at the unveiling ( i live in tokyo ) so that will definitely be a buzz to remember...and sure to be busy as hell... :D:)

^^ WTF almost an r33? theres a couple of hundred KG difference u noob

thats a pretty funny comment considering the R35 will be bigger than a dodge viper...

hmmm... intrigued by that comment that the bare chassis weighs less than the 350Z's... so what's weighing it down? the AWD system? the heavily optioned interior? gonna be interesting to see how the car does on the track with that sorta chassis, and what the N1 version boasts, if they release one.

what exactly is a Premium Midship? thought it was an FR?

Lol I'm guessing once people go to DSG they wont ever want to go back to manual again.

Why would you want to go to manual? So you can push a clutch in? Why not use a system that is faster and will do everything that a manual does anyway only you dont have to worry about the clutch. Will make heel toeing a thing of the past :)

dont ever consider yourself a driver if you cant do it.

you seem to think DSG is going to take over the world.

driving a car is all about how involved you are. You advocating the DSG, not lamenting the loss of manual shifting shows me you may not care about being as involved as you can...

I demand you go out and rip out that power steering in your car... coz you know, real men have biceps of lumberjacks so that they can turn the steering wheel in a manner which is as involved in the driving experience as possible.

I don't understand why you keep saying DSG elimates heel toe? why would it? heel toe is just as valid with a DSG or other sequential box. and it's still useful.

drifters drive without power steering all the time here in japan . It increases the feel, not using a condom has the same effect.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
