Fist of all, a thankyou goes to Shin on gtr.co.uk for bringing us this breaking news.

So here we go guys - this thing looks pure horn!

Hi there,

I've been to Nismo Festival test day today, and I managed taking pics of NISSAN GT-R PRODUCTION RACE CAR.

Details are still unknown, but it must be at least Super Taikyu Race Car. Further more, we will upload GT500 race car pics shortly.

Hopefully Nissan will bring out a N1 to get a better spec in the Super Taikyu (and better spec for all classes)

Looks like it's got masking tape on the wheels, they might want white spokes to see what the wheels are doing.

The chief engineer has said that they are building a V-Spec version for next year. He said that it wouldn't necessarily have more power over the base model, but it will be stripped out and have a different suspension (track only tune). Should cost around $220-240k < meant to be competing with the 911 GT3. Rollcage will be an option I believe.

VSPEC RUMOR

possible pics of the vspec

Best Car is guessing that the new Spec V could drop as much as 220 pounds. Horsepower is also expected to increase by as much as 40, bringing the total to a whopping 512hp.

At this point, it is only a rumor.

yeah it needs to drop way more than 220 pounds

more like 500 if its going to match the GT3 for example blow for blow.

The GTR is a fat bastard at the moment.

the new normal GTR crushes the GT3 in every way, the nurburgring lap times say it all , or you can look on you tube of a video from best motoring in this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Is...st-t203380.html also gtrblog.com has a video of the new vspec getting tested

Mate, a one lap dash around the Ring is one thing. There are massive straights there to allow the GTR to cool its brakes.. but The GTR was CLEARLY losing ground hand over fist to the Lambo for example in that 5 lap Tsukuba battle where there isnt enough road to give it time to cool off.

It needs to go on a diet, im pretty sure many will agree.

the numbers say quite a bit for me, weight wise...

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
