Theres nothing really new to said here, although you can see from what Ghosn says, he's got a stranglehold of the GT-R development program, and it seems as though Ghosn wants to have his name printed somewhere on the bootlid maybe...

Ghosn's not the most popular guy in Japan now is he?!?! lol...

"The man who canned Godzilla" was one story I read when he innitially said that there was no place for a straight-6 AWD supercar in todays market.

Bastard!

Adrian

so are they still making the R34's till 2007 ? or have they stoped production ?

I pretty sure they stopped a making them a year or two ago along with the S15. The last R34's made were the Nur spec GTR's. They didnt meet the new emission laws that were introduced into Japan or something like that.

Anyone else confirm this??

Cheers

so we're going to have pointless articles not stating much like this for another 3 years :(

i just wanna see the final version damnit :( damn Ghosn !!! damn you to hell!!

what else is going to be popping up in the meantime though? any other interesting developments in the nissan stable//?

The crap about the Rb26dett and Sr20det not being able to meet the new emission laws is total crap. If Holden and GM can make their pushrod petrol buring dinosaur engines meet the new emission laws then so could nissan easily.

Its all comes down to Nissan being owned by renault and the main bosses at renault not wanting anymore inline 6 or 4 cyclinder turbos in production.

Thats true and not true

Toyota isnt owned by Renault and they are not making 1JZ / 2JZ any more. Japans emissions laws became alot tougher in 2002.

sorry to go off topic but, can someone explain to me why the GTR model is an R35 whereas the non GTR models are V35s ? All previous non GTRs are still r3#s.

because the new skylines are powered by the vq series engine. hence v35

rb engines in the previous models made them r3- (asides from r30)

next gtr will be kept r35 to keep the tradition ive been led to believe.

NEEEEEXT!? Ah, hi there rrrage...:(

Could I answer your question with a question?:(

Ah-hem...:) Who said the Next GT-R is designated "R35"?

Fffffffwhat I think you'll find is that the new GT-R will pipple-o-popple-lopously be based on the "V"35 platform... without question. It WILL be a "xx-V35 GT-R".

All this "R35" business is sprouting from pre-2001 Tokyo Motor Show rumours about the current Skyline... even some Japanese guys were saying "R35". But now they've all changed their tune.

Right... NEEEEEEXT!:( j/k

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
