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 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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
