predator, I read in a Japanese car mag a few months back that Nissan has withdrawn the new GT-R from the Tokyo Show...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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
