If it gets here in 2007, that means they should drop to around 20-30k by around 2020-25:P

I'm guessing the nearest competitor will be the next gen Acura NSX if it heads downunder, not a bad piece of metal that, hope the GTR looks the goods (this is the hsc concept, but pretty similar methinks).

ooo, check out them doors:

Anyway, sorry, back to the GTR

I reckon $150k - $170k for it. Considering what the car will be, and what else you can get (brand new from factory, none of this 1890's, datsun with RB26 crap pls) it will be VERY competitive. I'm going for "Porsche 911 Turbo (996) beater or equal, for little over half the price"

Now it they can only make it look half as aggressive as the NSX protoype, we'd be set! :)

mesh, u gonna place an order mate?

cheers

V35 or G35 Coupe's look a lot better in the flesh than pictures. Especially with the subtle kit that seems to be an option. Saw quite a few in Nth America recently, pity about the rear lights but unlike the 4 doors, the Coupes do keep the afterburners in some form, but onll when the rear lights, light up. Can't see it otherwise :D

But personally i want to see it as a Nissan GTR, not a stupid infiniti. I know it's just a name, and it's still a Nissan, but it just loses some of the 'gloss' for me if it's not a 'Nissan', and already lost a bit for not being a 'Skyline GTR' :)

OK, I guess we better make an Infinity Section in this forum for the new engine... omg... this means we're one step closer to having something in common with the Zed boys... eek

Hehe, it's just like saying "Acura" NSX isn't it...

I am soooooo over American influenced shit right about now.

I actually like the sound of Acura and Infinity compared to Honda & Nissan (australia) .. honda and nissan .au are plain and simply a bunch of pussies who dont have the balls to bring in decent vehicles, like the skyline, real integra type r's and so forth.

I'm amazed nissan brought out the 200sx in turbo form judging by their track record.

If going under the Acura or Infiniti umbrella means we get decent performance vehicles into our country so be it.

I sounsd to me by sticking the the "infinity" badge on it, means they'll be going more for the luxury sports market.

While all of old GTR were nice if you ask me inside, not quite like the euro-supercars inside with all cow and the rest.

Guess that is the segment that Nissan is trying to aim the next GTR at... I think they won the "affordable sports car" segment battle a while ago, guess they're now trying to aim higher??

The only problem is that Infinity and Acura are watered down version of the jap spec cars that we get. I know my old Honda integra put out something like an extra 20hp over the Acura. I also don't understand why anyone would even want the V35. If you ask me they aren't a skyline anymore. They have gone away from the straight 6's that we have all known for over 10 years and they all look like euro cars now.

Guys, take it easy...

At the bottom of the Auto Report website (where this "Infinity GT-R" stuff originated) it says this:

*No implication is intended regarding the legal status of any mark. Even if a mark is approved it may lapse if not used. Companies file for registration of a mark they might wish to use in a particular jurisdiction, or simply to prevent another company from using it. Where accents, case and less common characters have been elided or altered in certain jurisdictions (for clarity and ease of reference), these have been restored as accompanying images and other filings indicate. This list is not intended to be comprehensive, but simply indicative, and is restricted to major english-language databases.

In other words... no, it's not official. Take it with a grain of salt.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
