looking at the standard equipment list, there is certainly A LOT of stuff to throw out to save weight. And it doesn't have a CF roof/bonnet yet either.

Titanium exhaust will prob be standard on the V-Spec+ versions, which is 10kg right there. Prob 100-150kg to be found i reckon.

hey funky, when we get them sold officially here, and say Nissan AU decides not to bring the V-Specs out, does that mean we wouldn't be able to import any V-Specs because there is a silhouette car already here?

If the standard GTR can knock off a 911 Turbo, can't wait to see what the more track orientated ones can do :spank:

In terms of rims, how many aftermarket 20" choices to you get in the lightweight/racing area? You'd have your pic of a shiteload of chrome, but staple a/m rims like the TE-37, LM-GT4's, etc, etc... are you going to have much choice in the 20" range?

I was thinking... in the rim department, will they be same stud pattern as r33/34's i wonder...

Yeah same side on silhouette means it won't qualify.

look more towards the euro market for decent 20" fully forged rims or forged outers with cast centres. they've been on lambo's, fezza's n brabus' for years. didn't the Nissan FX come standard with similar wheels to the new GT-R, they were straight fits onto skylines and silvias.

you can bet companies like Rays will start making wheels like the LMGT-4's and CE28N in 20" sizes fairly soon

judging by the photos, they still look to be using 5x114.3 PCD

only problem is, it's illegal to fit smaller than factory wheels (you'd need at least 19" to clear the brakes anyway)

word has it it will be on sevs soon as its not gonna be a full volume import, time will tell i guess

and regarding wheels, the U.S has many lightweight forged options, forgiatio to name 1, they make some hectic wheels, i jus brang over a staggered set in 22x11 and 20x9 for a 360 modena.

if it goes on sevs, im definitely selling my 34 n 32 GTR's to get 1 :P

technically you can get it on SEVS even if its brought in as a full volume import as Nissan will only start sales in late 2008, wheras its available from Dec 2007 in japan. Which means that 1 year period qualifies regardless, providing someone makes a proper application prior to Nissan selling them locally.

how much will it be in japan and how much would it cost on top of that to bring it here and rego?

      Rusty roof repair

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
