just going by what mr engineer said.. i didnt look inside :cheers:

hmmm, well im going to sit on the fence on that one. A senior Japanese gearbox engineer told me there would be no manual but according to many the rumors are reported that it will. No point guessing. The proof is when i actually see it - likewise with the speed limiter.

just got back from another drive in the thing. It was wet tonight and there was plenty of traction loss. I really believe the tyres are losing traction because of the cars weight but meh, i could be wrong..

Its nice to have a mate who owns one though! :cheers:

That doesn't make sense.

Glad you had fun though!

lol, yeah Sewid, i dont understand it... i suppose it was because of the greasy shinjuku streets but taking off from the lights it was slipping and slipping - not clutch but traction, yeah? Strange.

But yes, anyways, a lot of fun none the less! It is a great car.

oh and as a side note, koichi is 6 foot 4. Tall bloke by japanese standards and his head was like, almost touching the roof. Again with his seat set the way he had it, there was only an inch or two between the back of the drivers seat and the passenger seat.

Im glad i dont have to sit in the back!

sounds like only thru nissan

*sigh. personal import will always be an option regardless of what nissan do or don't do. it is the low volume SEVS import method which has a question mark over it.

Nissan might try and pull the sit one in the show room and say it is sold or as for Mazda and the RX7 it had $150,000 price tag which no one would pay so DOTARS worked out what Mazda were up to and took approval off them which allowed RAWS approval for the post 9/99, Toyota and Mitsubishi also tried the same type of thing stopping SEVS import but DOTARS said they were not meeting the Full Volume requirements and took full volume approval off them.

If stocks of the R35 GTR are not in the show rooms around Australia and 6 to 12 month wait for more cars coming into the country or they go sorry all sold come back in 12 months that is not meeting the full volume requirements and they should be SEVS eligible.

its not gonna have a manual, because the box is in the rear end of the car.. theyre not gonna run a 2mtr long connector pipe thingy from the inside of the car, to the rear.. it'll become to clumsy, its bad enough on FWD cars let alone one with the box in the boot.

Plus a manual trans will shift too slow compared to what it has now :ninja:

That is not the reason they wont have a manual, plenty of other cars have had rear mounted manual transaxles.

Porsche did it... so have Alpha Romeo and a bunch of others... if not 90% of transaxles...

90% of transaxles?? the GTR is the first to have a rear mounted independant transaxle.. so plenty of other cars DONT have it because the GTR is the only car that has it atm.

btw.. porsche have the engine with the box in the rear end.. its a different type of transaxle altogether. theyre setup is like every other FWD car ever invented. as alfa and everyone ur thinkin of

The GT-R is in no way the first car to ever have a rear mounted independent transaxle. Do some homework before thinking you know everything geez. Plenty of other cars have and plenty of those have been manuals. If the yanks could do it back in the 90's with the C4 corvette im sure Nissan could figure it out if they cared to.

do some homework?? lol tell that to the whole world then. the gtr is the first to have independant rear transaxle.

Thats what they claim, and they wouldnt get it wrong :D

"The Nissan GT-R features a newly developed Premium Midship package, including the world's first independent transaxle 4WD developed independently by Nissan. "

i missed the 4wd part.. but its still the one and only going around

      Airbox for +T

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
