phew, after reading that entire thread i still would like to know if we have any confirmation on what the engine specs are?

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... :(

[Jimbo2000]

why are you quoting me in a discriminating way?

i just asked cause the post hadnt been updated for a few months bar a few non related posts about the rx7 and some pictures

[Rezz]

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

[Jimbo2000]

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

[Rezz]

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?

[Jimbo2000]

ahh well good thing come to those who wait and all the rest of that bullshit.

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

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!

[Jimbo2000]

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

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 had to say it, the new beast looks like a zed.

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.

Hrm I don't like the looks of the new GT-R OR the RX7

Car styling these days is just going too far outta hand, bring out more beasty looking cars.
