Crap.

Didn't wanna start a shit fight. I think DSG has it's merits faster etc. etc.....maybe they should have another option...sequential stick shift just to go the middle ground =D

New GTR is expensive as...180k? Seriously??

I always thought the Veyron wasn't geared for the 1/4? Hence the "slow" times. Their top speed/stability is impressive though (about as shocking as the price tag)

I always thought the Veyron wasn't geared for the 1/4? Hence the "slow" times. Their top speed/stability is impressive though (about as shocking as the price tag)

The times quoted for the Veyron 1/4 range from low 10's, up to 10.8 max.

Even at only 10.8, that still makes it (by a fair margin), the hardest accelerating production supercar of all time.

So if that's "slow", what is everything else?

Why are ppl saying 180k?

Its 80k in the US prolly around 120k here

120K..,put me down for 1 please.

Plus I get a discount on top....because I have bought so many of them...lol.

mate, it's time to let it go. They're not going to be $250k like you thought, they are not going to be $200k like you thought, and they are definitely not going to be $180k like you think. PERHAPS, the TOP track spec version, with ceramic brakes, CF roof/bonnet/cup holders will be pushing $180k (ie, COMPLETELY optioned out ONTOP of the top version) but your run of the mill GTR is looking to be $120K-$140K

its not about having a slower or faster car. At least not for me anyway. Im a purist... is that OK with you?

soon you guys will be saying " i applaud the use of automatic driver assistance everything...all i have to do is sit there. its the way of the future..."

agreed. who cares if the evo is quicker then a gtst? i get 10x more fun out of punting my rwd manual hard then a semi-auto, driver assisted, etc....

the GTR buyer should be given the option of traditional or paddle shift gearbox - would keep everyone happy :)

The discussions were if I am not mistaken, that the gtr was on the wrong end of 150K.

Thus above 150K..

Correct me if I am wrong..but most who have made deposits have been told this...

considering the Japanese yen and Aussie dollar are virtually neck and neck at the moment, going from ¥8,000,000 yen which its supposed to be priced, to $120~150,000 is quite a big bloody jump.

private import investors anyone?

The Veyron is fast But Not the Hardest Accelerating Production supercar of all time!. Please stand corrected!

Behold the RWD Koenigsegg CCX

Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0–62 mph) 3.2 seconds

Top speed: 395+ km/h (242+ mph)

Standing quartermile: 9 seconds, end speed 235 km/h (146 mph)

So what will the tuning houses like Nismo, Top Secret, Mines etc etc etc. be able to do with such a high platform!?

The other GTR's seemed as though they were purposly built with "tunability" in mind..

Once the thuning houses get their hands ahold of this.. I feel that 1000kw will become something of a bit of a norm.

how do you improve on such a highly developed car? Even when you do.. 997 Turbo's will seem like Lada's compaired to the GTR

I dunno why but I found this amusing.

Does this mean I just hit the "restart level" button (I'm sure it's got one) if I prang the car? :D

Actually the fastest is the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

The quickest in everything else including acceleration and stopping would be the Ultima GTR.

Both cars use a twin turbo Chev V8, so pretty basic engine. The SSC har over 1000hp which is important for top speed runs while the GTR has around 740hp.

If the R35 GTR is on thw wrong side of 150K nissan will have a problem moving them, considering Audi will be releasing the all new V10 twin turbo RS6 with 450KW @ 1900kgs for the princely sum of 245-250K, and that pricing is already confirm.. So it will be interesting to see how far Nissan OZ is prepare to rip the general Oz motorist of. Yes I know ther is about 100k think resale, Lesser of a HOON image.

As for DSG or Ferrari F1, once you driven a well sorted system, you will be thinking, never a H shift pattern again, Period!!!

I rather have a hennessy viper than either of those two. The SSC and Ultima's have poo interiors for the mega dollar price tag. And they are powered by a chev :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
