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.

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

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      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.
