Will Nissan Introduction 6 Speed Manual In The New Gtr?


Recommended Posts

BMW has done it before with the V10 M5/M6 was initially offered with SMG only at the launch, then due to high demand from U.S. buyers that BMW released the 6 speed manual version 2 years later in 2007.

Does anyone have any new infomation regarding this?

Having driven both a SMG II (M5) and a DSG (VW GTI) I can tell you that BMW brought out the manuals, because their SMG II gearbox sucks.

The DSG is a great box in the GTI Golf, but the SMGII in the M5 was rubbish. I think Nissan would only bring a manual gearbox out for the "Evo" or maybe the V-Spec, more for reliable track work.

From what I have heard SMG II is a much improved gearbox over the orginal SMG and it has a faster gear change than the Ferrari 360 F1.

Eagerly awaiting news on the "track" versions then. Won't be long now.

Doubt it according to what funky has posted:

Munkey magic wasnt sure.

I am and i talked to a DSG engineer today..

there will NOT be a 6 speed in ANY GTR.

please see my thread.

If they are definately not going to go a 6 speed manual.. then is there possibilites there might be the 7 speed sequential that was talk about in the early days? Or should we definately cross out any chance of a manual type box going into the GTR?

it pays to read back some times

yeah i guess it does..

but i dont really know where abouts in my post i asked if we should definately cross out any chance of a 6 speed manual gearbox? m3gtr's post said there will NOT be a six speed.. But he didnt say there isnt gonna any type of manual box.. im just askin if there was maybe other possibilities in the future or just staying with wat they got!

nice try though :)

...if there isnt a 6 speed manual, then what will there be? A 7 speed? Think about the likelihood of that one.

I also said but you may have missed, is that there will NOT be a clutch pedal in the car.

That rules out a "manual" completely.

sorry if i didnt make that clear earlier.

ive been proven wrong countless times before, but i gave the info as i got it. And i gave it from a very reliable source first hand.

If it changes, for whatever reason, we will have to have this discussion again.

This isnt politics, Laurence, or is it?

It is always politics dude! If engineers ruled the world it would be a much more awesome place!

lol! how so? please indulge me..im all ears and eyes. i want to hear what you think about this!:rofl::)

am I the only one that wants my AWD to look like this now... I think pretty much all R32 to R34 GTR and GTS4 owners will agree that the shitty part about your car is the nose heavy feeling when trying to turn it.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
