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

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
