Why, after soooo much info and detailed explanation *with pics and diagrams* will you guys not believe that COSWORTH have a VQ32DETT on their testbench?

Thats, VQ32DETT... for all you who didn`t get it the first 4 times...:D:( :(

You said you read the whole thread, but are unsure of the engine specs? The engine specs are the one thing I was *sure* of when I put finger to keyboard.

And Jimbo, I ain`t discriminating, just that in the very first post... there are engine specs!:0

Tokyo 2003 Motorshow

Another Nissan legend will be shown here in 2007 – the GT-R. Development of the new GT-R is on schedule, and it is being engineered to claim its place among the world’s elite sports cars. More details will come closer to its launch.

Carlos Ghosn

President and CEO

REZZ????

tell us it isn't so :cheers::wave:

2007? heh, I`m not suprised really... I`ve heard 2005, 2006 and now 2007...

Actually, come to think of it, it`s gonna take Carlos "I want people to see my face when they think of Nissan" Gohsn about another 4 years to get the new GT-R where *HE* wants it... leave the Japs alone and we`d see the new car in `05.

By the way Jimbo, where did you get that quote?

its a quote from futurama about the dude in my avatar, thought it was a crack up when i saw it

No, no, no Jimbo!:cheers::D:D

Where was the *Carlos Gohsn* quote from!!!:wave:

no matter how ugly teh car turns up, the 480hp is going to make up for it.

I've noticed that nissan's new cars are all starting to look the same.. but with sublimal differences.

the 350z and g35 look very similar. And if you've seen the s16 artists rendition you'll see it too looks the same.

Why is nissan following this route, soon they'll just have one car!

i agree, its not just nissan though, all coupes are starting to look the same

I hope this isnt true, http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/story_pa...5E21822,00.html

the second half of the story, about the new Skyline and new GTR, not the Nissan "Monaro"

Thanks for the link Supafly :P

Theres two things about that linked article above that don't sit right:

Ghosn says: "... it was impractical to think we could get it all done by 2005 so that left 2007". Thats just him saying that the GT-R won't be to his liking before 2007... I swear he wants as much input in the new GT-R as possible and that just messes up the process. People who live in Perth will understand when I say that this situation with Ghosn and the GT-R is very much like ex-Premier Richard Court and the Bell Tower fiasco. He wasn't going to f*ck off until he left his mark....

eg: expect the new GT-R to be a lemon compared to the R32/33/34 if Ghosn interferes too much...

Also, I noticed the "journalist" Kevin Hepworth didn't even have the (brain)power to click his damn mouse to find out that it ain't an "R"35 Skyline! Pffft. :(

i noticed that the picture of the engine says 480hp and above (the last 4 words in the engine pic means hp and above)...so are we realistically expecting 480hp or maybe more??

Mmmm, I`ve been inquiring about this, and it seems that that quoted output figure is very close to the JGTC engine output... which is why I typed (in the first post of this thread) "is the JGTC car using motor-assisted spool-up turbos and direct injection?".

No one has been able to confirm, but my contact says the power will be *less than* 480hp. I know the article said power would be "over" 480, but I guess that may have been to catch a few more sales...?

Whatever the case, the new GT-R will topple Porche... thats their goal.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
