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:

Ummm the chassis.

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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
