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 :(

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
