Oh my God I never realised just how Big the new GTR is...! Parked next to the NSX it looks freakin Ginormous..! I had to have a second look as I thought No way...The NSX must be a small scale replica model or something....But no its the real deal

I'm waiting for hardcore GTR ppls to defend it. I have always said, and ask? does it need those sort of acreage......

Prolly get flame for this. but those fotos just made me laughs.

Just remember I am a hardcore skyline fans, but the latest incarnation have got me lost for words... think Californification...

Umm last time I was standing next to an NSX I remember thinking how small they are...

Those pictures more brought home how far ahead the nissan is in terms of design than the NSX, gosh it's looking dated already. I suppose some may see that in a good way.

At the Melb Motorshow I had a good gawk at the GTR, it didn't look enormous. Although it gives the impression of being very very wide :D.

mmm....

IMO i dont think it even looks that big. I've seen a NSX before. But for some reason, i don't see the GT-R being much larger, but beside a R34, the 35 is huge. :S

both look good though.

good pic sewid, shows the modern car sizing!

Exactly, I've parked the V35 next to an R33 a few times and the size difference looks huge.

It's the way the modern cars are going I guess.

At the end of the day though, personally I think it gives the car more road presence and with the performance the R35 is putting out, who cares how big it is.

Look at the size of most supercars. They need a lane and a half when driving. The only difference is the R35 is taller.

Well said, size up an original evo to the evo X, or fot that matter, a first gen wrx to the latest abomination (I'm not doubting either's speed btw)

Nothing changes the fact that for better or worse, modern cars are getting bigger and heavier. Blame safety requirements, pedestrian impact laws etc...

Kinda wierd in this "enviromentally aware" age that cars are heading this way, but I think we have to live it up now, 'cause the writing is on the wall..........

It was designed from the outset to be an internationally sold car, that includes one of their largest markets the good 'ol USofA(ssholes) (I can say that, I used to live there) I think Nissan decided to make *some* provisions for people who aren't japanese.

They can only gripe about it's size and looks because it will absolutely demolish their lesser cars.

BTW: The new STi looks like ass

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
