But when you look at Porsche>>>how many 911 models are their....and BMW and Audi......this is a missed Oppt....because in the 400 to 450 HP range there are only european cars....but no japanese cars and the model I am speaking of would sit that stop perfectly........just my...lonely two cents...LOL

Nissan/Renault will do whatever is profitable or cost effective for them over filling niches in a niche market

porsche don't make cheap econoboxes. Horses for courses

Cool vid nonetheless

Put simply, the GT-R has always had two turbos and four wheel drive.

If it was an R35 Skyline, there may be the option for a rear wheel, single turbo. But because we're talking about a GT-R, not a Skyline per se, it will always have two turbos and four wheel drive.

Guess we should tall all those C10, C110, C210 owners that they don't own a real GTR?

Oh wait, skylines didn't exist before 1989 ;)

I watched this a few months back. And just by the way the cars were lined up it was pretty obvious what the outcome was going to be.

Classic "V" formation. Looks pretty for the cameras. Like the do in Olympic swimming. lol

The GTR did great over the quarter mile, but we could quickly see the Italia was gaining on it. Another 100m and the Italia would have overtaken.

The same video magazine does in car lap comparisons at Leguna Seca - youtube it :)

The GTR is the best bang for buck package. They are so cheap OS compared to here they are the logical choice. You could nearly buy 2x GTRs in the USA for the cost of one here!

US MSRP $89,950 USD, used, 50-60k for a 2009 model.

Porsche 911 Turbo is only $139,000 USD new, compared to $400,000 k here.

You mean the 370z? If that's the case then the 370GT would be more approapriate wouldn't it?

He was (and I'm sure you've assumed) figuratively speaking. Nissan made a conscious decision to keep the 'Nissan GTR' as a seperate entity from the Skyline legacy, despite being a spiritual successor.

The 370Z has filled the void of the relevant Skyline GTS-T model at this time, since nissan has decided that V6's and not straight 6's are the way to go. In relative terms of performance and price compared to Skyline generations past, I'd say it's about a par.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
