So I was quietly reading my local newspaper and came across this:

IMG_2603_zps5dabc1c0.jpg

briefly it will have the twin turbo v6 engine punching out 440kw which includes 115kw electric motor feeding through the 4WD

weight reduction of 180kg

and is expected to be repackaged as an Infinity

anyways I will let you R35 aficionado's discuss the rest

Good stuff with the weight shedding surgery, but I strongly disagree with the electric motor - way to ruin the spirit of the GT-R.

How exactly does that ruin the spirit? the car is based on an electronic system that controls torque to individual wheels. This is the same, except some of the torque is now made by another motor.

The modern GTR has been all about pushing the limits with new technology, that is exactly what that is. Not to mention that Porsche/Ferrari/Maclaren have all had success doing it

Hmmm shoulda been 440kw plus the 115kw electric motor :(

Wonder if it uses the electric motor as "torque fill" like the P1??

FAREWELL LAG!!

I agree and initially thought the electric motor was in addition to the 440kw package maybe it will be in the future who knows

I dont know about anyone else, but i love the feeling of a car coming onto boost, this will ruin everything :(

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
