hey guyz/girls, im just wondering what the R35 GTR will look like? and what engines will be packed into it?

I've heard so many stories about this and that, and im not sure if theyre all rumours or not? (also made a few bets to my friend abt it :D )

I've heard its already sold in japan as a family car with four doors and a non-turbo engine? Because Nissan is losing money and they want to appeal to a wider market so they made it a family car? what the hell.

another, V8? or V6 twin turbo???

Will it have the four circle lights that makes skylines look so appealing!?

Is the shape and engine even confirm? or are they still deciding on it???

check this site out: I DONT BELIEVE IT!!

Im not too sure about the site but so far i have only seen a short clip of the concept V35 GTR on one of the Mishief videos, it held a strong reesmblance to the Z at the front. Along with the rumours I have heard that its a twin turbo V8.

If i can figure out how to get screen shots of it i'll put up a couple.

i've read rumours that it'll be using the same block as the 350Z - which if it is should be very exciting as the VQ35DE cranks "only" 208kW. equip the twin turbos and the VQ35DETT should be seeing a lot more than the Jap limit of 208kW - maybe 300? :D

Also I think the GT-R will have the different shape than the link about... I'm guessing something cross between a R34 and the 350Z...it will be an outrage if the R35 GT-R doesn't have the tail lights!

I don't know why that article refers to the new skyline as an *R*35... when it's quite obvious that the new Skyline is a V6 VQ engine. It's V35 :D

Have a look at this thread...

It should tell you all the latest info up to July and some pics of the engine and other stuff.

in the new speed magazine it says the American's will get a V8 where as the aussie/ japan will get twin turbo V6 from 350Z. the concepts are all here and there! the V35 out in japan doesnt look nething like a skyline however the GTR is said to be just GTR not skyline GTR, and it is meant to have the Stove burners (hopefully) will be a killer when it comes out

>akeenan: TMS will be open to the public from 25th October to the 5th of November at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba.

>nismoman18: Would you be able to post up some scans of the article and pics of the Speed Magazine GT-R story? I've looked high and low, BUT I CANT FIND ANYTHING about a V8 "GT-R"!!!:( Some other members said they'd post some reports, but I guess they forgot.

No kidding, in Japan, there is NOTHING to say about a proposed V8 engine in a Skyline, let alone a GT-R... yet I hear rumours (especially from Oz and the US) that a V8 is a definate. Please could somebody shed some light on the source of the V8 GT-R rumour?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
