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

B

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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
