the designs don't look half bad... as long as they don't call it a 4 door "GTR"... call it a G37 super touring or G37 CTS or something haha Infiniti needs to stop using the skyline heritige as their branding. G35's G37's aren't bad cars but they're also not skylines. The 350Z and 240sx has their own history.. you don't see them saying that they're 'skylines' or a 350Z GTR or anything. I'm all for Nissan/Infiniti making an attempt to try their luck in the performance luxury sedan market... as long as they don't call it a GTR or Skyline.

Bring back the Stagea Autech 380RS :/ Anyone? Take the battle to the RS6 Avant (Sort of)

P.S. Yes I am aware of the fact that M35 Stagea and R35 GTR are slightly different, being that they share nothing

Not bad looking,... but it's not a Skyline, nor a GTR.

I feel the same way when I see a G35,... nice car no doubt, has done well in the U.S.,.. but seeing the imported Nissan versions with the Skyline badge,... well you know, it ain't a "pure-bred" Skyline.

But hey, at least the sketches don't include the classic "stoveplate" tail lights.

If they did ever build a 4 door GTR, then make the back door like the RX8, I reckon that is a sweet set up... Not to mention rather compact...

It would top the Lotus Carlton for being one of the quickest 4 doors on the planet... Surely...

Firstly sorry your car is a GTS4 with an RB26...

Its like saying my GTS4 is a GTR but with an RB20

Erm, if you replace every drive train component over to GTR, what real difference is there? Because that is why my car has.

Anyway, there were 4-door GTRs, released by Autech.

I think it has merit. The real thing will not look that good, or as good as the R35 coupe.

There will be a market for this car (not everywhere) and some folk (fat Americans) will want a practical saloon they can give a squirt every now and then on the way home through the hills.

BMW and Mercedes are awesome at making ballsy saloons, so let Nissan try it out.

If it bombs then we're none the worse. We'll just have more spare parts in 10 years :ermm:

Quite a few bit's didn't make it onto the Autech's. They don't have an aluminium bonnet/guards and quite a few other bits.

And they didn't sell real well in Japan understandably. Last pics I saw of a few of them together they were dirty and rusted. good news is a nice example would be plenty cheaper than an R33 GTR. There's a better market for them in Australia, as we like to 'all pile in' our mates car like the pack of bogans, deep down we know we all are.

Don't look as good . Don't go as good. But, they don't look bad or go bad and can carry a bunch of your drunk mates. :P

As long as its not branded as a GT-R and they tune it and set it up accordingly, I'm all for it. Its going to be an Infiniti, which is more luxury and less racing. Maybe call it an Infiniti R38 or something, and position it against the M5 / E55 / RS6 / XFR.

Don't make it the last word in speed like the GT-R is, but set it up as a good tourer. With the GT-R's ability do do 300km/hr on the autobahn and allow the passengers to hold a conversation, add more sound deadening and let everyone in the car talk to each other. Tune it for more midrange and redo the diff ratios so it would be noticably slower than the halo car at full pelt but a more "relaxed" drive on a freeway. Soften the suspension out, but keep it adaptive to give it a good ride/handling compromise for its class. Make the interior less techno-race and more luxo, as befitting an Infiniti.

The R35 GT-R already shits on the Audi R8 and the BMW M6 when it comes to being a sports coupe - its time for Nissan/Infiniti to release a luxury tourer to take a second dump on the Germans.

The "touring" V35 is softer and more comfortable, but slower, than the "sports" Z33 it shares the FM platform with, and I think the R35 and whatever this four door PM platform car should have the same relative ethos'.

Nissan being able to leverage the time and money its thrown into developing the GT-R into another model may bring the costs of both down. And, I think we can agree, a cheaper GT-R is a good thing for us mere mortals.

i dunno i dont like it, for me a gtr has always been a 2door turbo awd, it makes me think of it been more of a taxi

The first part has almost nothing to do with the second part.

Nowhere has it been said that this sedan will be badged or marketed as as GT-R (Ghosn has already said that the GT-R will be a Nissan, and this thing will be badged as an Infiniti). It'll just use the same platform, to cut costs.

And the first GT-R was a RWD sedan, so it just shows that your knowledge of the GT-R's history doesn't go back far enough.

Is Autech Still around these days?

cos they will probably do something stupid like a 4 door GTR

Saurmatix - your GTS4 is not a GTR.

Its like me putting a LS2, Suspension and a Clubsport Bodykit onto my VZ Commodore and calling it a Clubsport.

It may look the same,same power - but it isnt - and building a car to be like something its not is just gay.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
