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.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
