220 pounds is a good start...But if ( I hope ) they release an N1 version I would want to see a bit more weight than that out of it.Fully gutted...Carbon kevlar race buckets...Carbon panels, titanium exhaust etc

There is a heap of crap in them that isnt Necessary. They should make them the same way lotus make there cars.

lets not get started on lotus and how much their new concept car fails.

lotus eagle; the 4 seat mid engined car which is scheduled to be on show in 2009/10

However, if this at all gives an indication of what it will look like, i really am not impressed.

possible spy shots

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.

Dude, the GT-R was quicker than the GT3 in the BM vid on youtube, could you imagine what would happen if it weighed the same as the GT3???

i reckon its just someones personal race special.

grille removed, rear bar removed, tow hook out of bonnet.....

interior stripped out, and light weight cage in.

I highly doubt it from the shots ive just seen...

Busy bees at Nissan motorsport...

looks hot.

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...

That's bullshit, it took the Lambo 4 laps to catch up to the GT-R, and Id say it was more the tyres that were cooked and not the brakes...

I guess the 'standard' GT-R didn't do too bad against a 'tuned' Gallardo which had more power and less weight...

Maybe the V-Spec would give that Gallardo a run for its money....

yes they did! well, sort of. they had it out on the track the day before nismo festival, but I saw it in the pits on the day of nismo festival. I would say it's a test either for super taikyu series or some other production based series, hell maybe even a GTR 1 make series (doubt that though).

Mate,

I'd have to disagree with you here, i wouldn't take BMI into account for 100%, maybe 60% and that's about it but don't get me wrong, i love those guys at BMI and the things that they do.

How is this GTR different to the standard one, dropped, rims changed, exterior changed blah blah- we're only speculating it's performance.

I'm not going to repeat what everyone else said, but i'm only holding my breath for when Nissan say, "OK guys, here's the V-Spec"

Exhaust is significantly different as well. Not much else is known. It's probably not the V-Spec yeah but a lot of the lessons learnt will go into the V-Spec I'd say.

hey? Just the very mention that Tsuchiya would have staged a fight is beyond unforgivable!

Ban!! :banana:

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
