non straight six

and is useing thermos from what i could gather from the eng bay pic.

i didn't read throught the full artical but apparatnly does 7.35sec min at nurburg (from memory)

any way gone is a true GTR

the new one is built for the street not the track (as drive (herald sun) reports)

gone is the true GTR ??

show me a stock 34 do 0 - 100 in 3.6 secs lol, or even do a 7.38 at the Nurburgring for that matter, This wll never take the place of GTRs gone in my mind, but i wont discount it as a true GTR either, its HOT and flippen powerfull

why?

does it need to be 20 seconds slower around the 'ring, have a weaksauce oil supply system, and be cursed with 5/8ths of f**k-all low rpm torque to be 'the real deal' :spank:

well it already has a much better lubrication system than the RB-series engines, forged pistons and has titanium conrods/valves standard

the only potential weak links are the block rigidity or (although unlikely) the head gasket design

It looks more like a 350Z, and the last I looked, that's not a Commodore.

Non manual? DSG is even better than manual -- true super-cars of the 21st century have all gone this way so why shouldn't Nissan?

No "etesa"? It has ATTESA E-TS all wheel drive.

It has 353kw and 588nm torque from a VR38DETT (3.8 litre twin turbo DOHC V6) engine; in my opinion, this will not only be "true" to the GT-R image, but will enhance it. Its going to be roughly half the price of a Porsche for the same performance around a track, to me that sounds exactly like what the next GT-R is and should be all about.

However much of a ball tearer this is, and however much I want it, i'll still always have a special place in my heart for the 'old skool' Japanese cars even if a lot of them had inherent faults from the factory :spank:

actually if you think about it, every single GTR in Nissan's history has been a straight 6... the S20 in the C10 and C110, and the RB26 in the R32, R33 and R34.

I still say that the new GT-R is more Z than Skyline, just whoring on the heritage of the Skyline brand and icons.

same

but the world moves on- not many people here would think all that highly of the V8 type that just have to have a big Holley 850 carb and kettering distributor ignition system on their 351c.i pushrod valve bounce machine

now there are only 2 manufacturers in the world making full-production I6 passenger cars: BMW and Ford

everyone else seems to have realized that you get better handling balance without 2 or 3 cylinders hanging forward of the front axle line

to the thread starter... have you read ANY of the threads in this section?? some of this shit has been confirmed for ages, thanks to people like justin (7tune.com)

and i read the whole article in wheels. 1) wheels=useless, 95% front cover holden, mag 2) they have on their front cover the INCORRECT power figure, nice work :spank: 3) In the contents pages, they call it a friggen Skyline GTR.

wheels=useless

the thing has OFFICIALLY been released, with full specs on the website and the god damn CEO himself giving the power figure, and they still get it wrong

idiots

i agree with the comments about it looking more like a 350Z. It's the front headlights. The skylines, Z's, and now GTR share VERY similar front end styling. That was the thing i hated the most about the 350Z when it first came out, but nissan seem to love that headlight design ;\

i agree with the above comment. it needs a squarer front end ;D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
