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:)

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.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
