predator, I read in a Japanese car mag a few months back that Nissan has withdrawn the new GT-R from the Tokyo Show...

I think I posted that news up around that time too?

Here's what I found on the "new" R35 GTR. Of course, as everyone knows the stats and the body will probably not look like that when/if they go into production.

Concept from Nissan

Hey, Demon Dave when are you planning on going? My friend is coming in from the States at the end of Oct and we are planning on going on the 27th or 28th?

So THATS where all that "V8 GT-R" bizzo comes from...

...coz theres certainly no mention of it here, just the 3.2L twin-turbo V6 (based on the JGTC engine).

This is an article i have had scanned from the most recent Wheels magazine, its on the GT-R ofcourse.

V8 GT-R? Hmmm, more American wishful thinking?

Serveral sources close to Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn have been quoted as confirming the Yanks would get a stroked version of the Infiniti Q45 bent-eight while other markets get TT V6...

Speed mag had a test of the HKS TT G35 Coupe in the latest issue. Apparently it uses Garrett turbos and looks very OEM, AND it apparently also had Nissan stamps on some of the custom pipe and intercoolers

yes i remeber/ have heard the same thing...

anyways im relying on one of you guys over in japan to go and take photos either way.! :P

Sorry, the article was scanned from the most recent Motor magazine not Wheels magazine. For some reason the 1st link doesnt work, the 2nd one i posted does. i just cant figure out how to post the pic to show on the post.:P

dont know if the info o the article is anything new to you guys but it sounds like the car will be awesome.GT-R%20article.jpg

Guys, I'm hardcore GT-R fan just as much you are... and I only want to present facts, thats why I wrote this post about the V35 GT-R...

I feel relieved that that link in R32 GODZILLAS post above backs up what I wrote... finally (and in English too!)

I also saw in that article that R32 GODZILLA posted, and I quote:

"The next V35 GT-R Supercar won't be a V8. But don't worry."

Who the f*cks worrying??? I'm GLAD the GT-R's not a V8...

...oh, and Goshn's a tool.

Money permitting... but the other half will probably want to tag along. What about your other half Dave?

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
