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

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
