yeah i like it. I think its good, just like a stagea almost... hahaa gtr suv... insnt that wat a stagea is. Agree not best looking but meh, bet it looks better in life.

If there is a market that will sell tens of thousands then i can see it happening. What i cant see happening is it having the GTR badge or too many common panels. Some driveline components, perhaps engine less turbos or different state of tune and some styling hints of the top of the range GTR will see it being a huge seller. This equals Nissan profitable again and we may get a decent Silvia replacement s budget rwd sports coupe

im only going to say it once....... UG-LY

But what do you expect doesnt one of those french euro trash companys that make those fugly so called cars own nissan now?

im willing to bet they had something to do with this like that abortion of a car Tiida

Like the proposed Infiniti sedan, if they make a SUV out of the PM platform there's no way it'll be badged as a GT-R. Ghosn wants the GT-R to be exclusive. It doesn't mean its tech has to be.

The Z33 and the V35 / V36 share the same platform, but there's almost no sheet metal or interior trim (aside from the shift knob and surround) that's common. Both cars are popular in their markets, and profitable despite only sharing the FM platform.

And those pictures look like something a student at a Photoshop crash course would have churned out on their first day or two. They look too much like a stretched and squished GT-R, rather than a separate car. At least that sedan, while having GT-R cues, still looks like a different car and is at least somewhat plausible.

This just sounds like a "Infiniti wants an AWD four door based on the PM platform, what flights of fancy can we come up with for the American market?"

I'd guess that, in a few days, someone is going to post pics of a "GT-R dual cab pick-up truck" to compete against the TRD Hilux and Holden Crewman, etc.....and we'll see another thread on SAU full of posts about how its ruining the GT-R name.

You're all forgetting about stagea's.......... also have the RB26DETT in them and they're a 4wd type car........

That's still ugly though and i'm not for it.

yeh, im all for making a sports SUV with a VR38 in it, but dont call it a GTR.

agreed, as long as there is no GTR badge on it, then do it.

Will be $50K+ cheaper than a Cayenne Turbo and they are an ugly looking thing too.

helical style burnouts in a gtr style SUV would be cool!

the Cayenne isnt called a 911T, so this shouldnt be consider a GTR.

Nissan must really have it out for Porsche, trying to beat them in everything!

Good idea, and plenty of people will buy this in Fat Land. But don't call it a GTR, bloody Nissan d!kheads.

Whats the point of the GTR, a sharp, tech-filled, manga designed rocket that gets super-sized and slow so people like Oprah can look fat inside it?

Good idea as the Murano's big brother. Bad idea as a GTR.

IDEA: How about calling it the Nissan XXL?

if they do it it wont look like the gtr and it wont be badged as one. just like the stagea. itll probably look more like the murano piece of crap but go much faster. if they made it look the same and badged it the same the GTR name will lose all its exclusivity, and supercarivity. (yep its my new word)

    • 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.
