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 :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
