Will Nissan Introduction 6 Speed Manual In The New Gtr?

[Forged]

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?

It will have to have 6 gears to do 300km/h+

[GTR R35]

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.

source?

[m3gtr]

source?

i was going to ask that...i guess the horses mouth didnt smell good enough.

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

[Shakiel]

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!

[funkymonkey]

well in engineering you're either mathematically or scientifically right or wrong. with politics its open to interpretation.

with the rear of the motor looking like this, and the gearbox sitting somewhere behind you.

time to get used to a paddle shift you f**kers. and quit complaining

[funkymonkey]

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.
