It Is Unleshed

[R TUNE]

well if you read the wheels mag they have the first excluseve on the new R35 GTR.

and i dont wont it.

a 60 deg v6 with 345kw

non etesa

non manual

looks like a commondore (imo)

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)

[dan_the_man]

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

[AustenMike]

I have now read the article on the car. Twin turbo v6 348 kw. And yes it does still have the ATTESA. Wouldn't be a GTR without it now would it

[sh@un]

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'

[funkymonkey]

truth be told we don't know the faults of the VR38 yet either.

[sh@un]

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

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

[Modena]

If I had 150 K and the GTR was here, Id buy it over R34.

actually BMW just ditched the I6 for a V8 in the 3 series last month.

The VQ and VR really dont have much in common and the rear end is definitely all skyline.

guess it does look like a V36/V37 Skyline in the rear end...

[SS8_Gohan]

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 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

[justin911]

ive held back for the last few weeks...... but it looks crap i rekon

front end should of been more square looking... like the back of the car.

allthough in black it would look abit better

[rukus]

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
