Here are the specs!

Engine: VQ32DETT V6 Twin-Turbo with DIRECT INJECTION! (in colaboration with Cosworth!!!)

Power: 480ps (352kw!) @ 7200rpm

Torque: 58kg/m @ 4800rpm (don't know the conversion...)

Turbos: No confirmation on the size, although it's probably a couple of T-28 sized units. Get this: They have incorporated a

motor-assisted spool-up!!! Yes, no lag here!!! The death of the Supercharger maybe...?

Body: Steel moncoque with an Aluminium Spaceframe. Hints of Audi here...

Drive: 4WD... not sure of the final desicion on the gearbox though.

Here are the Pics...

The whole concept of the new GT-R is based on this years JGTC GT-R: Quad-cam V6 Twin-Turbo with the Aluminium spaceframe etc. From what I can gather, they've gone for ultimate weight distribution, with an engine that surpasses the RB26DETT in EVERY way.

There are pics flying around on the 'net already wich pretty much look like the finished product, except theyve added a few more vents around the place, in front of the rear wheel arches etc.

More details to come...

Cosworth have been involved with Nissan engine development since the 80's, they had a hand with the CA18DET-R in the Bluebird SSS-R homologation rally car, and again with the SR20DET in the Pulsar GTi-R. Right now, Cosworth has the VQ32DETT GT-R engine on its testbench. Nissan has sent the parts to Cosworth, and they've assembled it, and are conducting all the initial testing.

The mob who I'm getting all this info from, INSIST that the engine is a direct conversion of the current Skyline JGTC engine (which incidently is a VQ30DETT). Add an extra 200cc to it for whatever reason... all this leads to the question: Is the JGTC Skyline running Motor-assisted Turbos? And Direct Injection? Thats one of the major reasons why the VQ32DETT can put out big power, yet being in accordance with the Euro 4/5 emmissions laws.

The Bodywork. All the pics so far have indicated a very "subdued" look, without any spoilers and wings and things. Well, as far as I know, it's the actual bodywork itself, coupled with underbody diffusers and the like, that will give the new GT-R excellent down force. Right now, all those pics off the web, and in the magazines are "close" to what the final GT-R will look like, but NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE. The front and rear end details are still in "Clay Model" stage, and nothing (as far as I know) has been decided on yet. All I know is that, there will be big bonnet vents, diffusers, and underbody aerodynamic aids.

The final GT-R pricing is estimated at around 8,000,000yen/car. Thats reasonable, if you take into account the engineering costs of the BNR32 GT-R, which topped out at around 10,500,000yen/car. And we all know Nissan lost alot of money making the R32 GT-R... hopefully they'll break even this time!

The R34 GT-R was late to show up, so the Japanese are expecting the same to happen here, and what they say is "early 2005".... shit. That could change though. (edit: Nissan Prez Carlos Ghosn put the new GT-R release date back to 2007 at the earliest... will let you know if this changes)

Disclaimer: All I'm reporting is what comes out here in Japan. Until know, I've seen or heard NOTHING about a possible V8 powered GT-R to be sold in the US. THATS NOT TO SAY THAT IT'S NOT TRUE!!! The Japanese won't be getting a V8 model (if there is one) so I guess that translates into bugger-all reporting of it here.

Subaru has been saying for a while that they have eliminated Turbo lag, but can't find anywhere how they've actually done that.

Those specs sound pretty promising, but personally i'm hanging out for an absolute bahnstormer of a V8TT :) starting to look like wishful think tho :(

where'd u get the info if u don't mind me asking?

cheers

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
