me either, none of the new nissans really appeal to me much. not even the 350Z or v35.

I cant see much japanese in nissan anymore. i suppose they dont have the money to design cars from the ground up anymore. what a pitty.

That concept/artists impression looks pretty nice. It has styling queues taken from the V35, but has a more 'fleshed-out' rear.

From what I can remember, the ATESSA system (almost like the one in the R34 GT-R, with a few refinements) is being used in the Infiniti G35x, to be sold in the US. As much as batteries are being used, it would be a risky move for Nissan to consider using one in the next GT-R. They still have their problems, are a little heavy, and would they be able to flow enough current for a modified GT-R? (HKS Battery Pack!)

Nissan will well and truly have all those things sorted out before the next GT-R goes on sale... like it says in the first post, Nissan already have the "e-4WD" system in the current Nissan March so a performance version of the e-4WD is in development now.

Interesting. Nissan stuffed around with electric technology in the 60's for their cars, so they've had some previous experience. Even came up with a production model I believe.

I find it hard to believe they are able to produce an electric power system that is capable of powering the front wheels to one of the fastest 6cylinder production cars out there.. but we'll see. Seem like "very high hopes" in the technology, lets hope its not false pipe dreams to keep people off their back.

Last I heard was that the turbocharger itself was going to be electronically assisted. Now that does make sense and is quite feasible.

meh, i reckon they should just take that c110 and stick an RB30DETT in it and attessa.. that will do me :D

Actually to be honest I reckon Ghosn has just been sucking on too much of the whacky baccy.. was probably in his office choofing on a big fat joint one day and between a toke decided "hey check this idea out man, an electric GTR! that would be like, woaaa, so way cool man.. imagine that!"

next day..

Why?

Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota are all doing it. Think outside the square dude!:D

I'm not necessarily saying that the concepts are implausible, I just question whether its possible to power a GTR with the incredible amounts of torque required without massive battery or fuel cell technology, even with that area advancing so rapidly.... Or even that sensible considering there are plenty of ways to smarten up a traditional 4WD system that aren't being currently exploited and that don't require some zany electric motor. There is powering a nice hybrid Prius to get you around town, then there is using an electric engine to get you around a racetrack.

We need some engineers in this thread to sort the feasibility of this one out I think...

What they're doing with e-4WD is the next step in evolution for the ATESSA system and it's original concept.

I think it's brilliant... and the more I think about it, the more logical it all seems.

Screw batteries - I want a 400km/h mag-lev GTR... that transforms into a robot.

Time for Japan to live up to popular culture references :)

Perhaps those crazy engineers have read this...

... says that the it has "Ceramic double-rotor all-wheel disk drive" Which I interpret to mean that in fact, the drive is electric, with four high-efficientcy "pancake" flat disk motors powering the it (one for each wheel). Indeed, since they are ceramic, they may be super-conducting as well...

... also says that the it produces "200 horsepower at 12,000 RPM" and has a type of V8 growl to the exhaust note. So, It's my belief that it has an internal combustion engine which powers a dynamo, which then sends electrical power to the wheels (much as the new "hybrid"

gas/electric cars do).

Since there is mention of 'shifting gears above 5,000 rpm' I would also assume that there is some sort of gear box between the engine and the dynamo, probably to give the rider more sense of control, as he would be using a system he was already familiar with. If the powertrain were superconducting, the time lag could be much shorter than with modern electrics, and would indeed feel much like a manual gearbox rather than an automatic.

Oh yeah, this be what they referring to...

I like that idea alot. Nissan should join forces with the creators of robotech to create the ultimate Gtr/robot soldier. I think it would have issues getting into the japanese gt races though.

who are they planning on marketing it to rezz? i guess families are out.........rich americans??

or is it going to be the one to win races to promote the rest of nissans range..........

I KNOW.........IT CAN BE THE FEATURE CAR ON FAST FURIOUS 3!

farking best idea i've had all day!

hmmmmmm......so they make a car completely different from its past models and try and market it to the people who actually liked the past models?? sounds like a massive f£$k up in waiting.......

not that i own a gtr or anything, but i cant see gtr owners liking it.......

When it comes to transmissions, I'd like to see a conventional 6-speed, and a sequential-manual with paddles. The GT-R would appeal to more conservative types (eg. the people who can afford a GT-R easily), yet still demand some input from the driver.

Also, even if an electric motor was used instead of the rear driveshaft and other parts, weight differences would be neglible; lithium (or other) batteries as used in hybrids are pretty heavy.

    • 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"
