There's nothing groundbreaking in this update, I just thought I'd post up some of the article printed in one of the car mags on sale here in Japan. I'll attempt to post up all the relevent stuff and leave out any "could be's..." as much as possible.

Here it is, confirmation of the next GT-Rs driveline... rear wheels driven by the VQ32DETT through a driveshaft, and the front wheels driven by an electric motor. Hi-tech...

e-4WD... thats the replacement for ATESSA. Basically, the e-4WD system comes in the moment traction is lost in the rear wheels, with torque bias always to the rear. The timing, torque allowance etc is all finely tuned to assist cornering and turn-in. This really is the next phase of performance 4WD engineering. The front motor is supplied power by a Lithium battery which is recharged by a generator feeding off the VQ32DETT. My Japanese ability isn't that good, but I believe the motor-assisted turbos are fed from the Lithium battery aswell. Thats the pic of the Lithium battery above (the grey flat panel thing).

Sorry, the pics a little blurry, but here is a list of Carbon and Aluminium parts to be used in the next GT-R:

Carbon - Bonnet, Driveshaft, Rear diffuser and Seat frames

Aluminium - Roof, Suspension arms, Rear tailgate and Door panels.

Can anyone say "NSX"?

Basically a pic of the GT500 engine, the next GT-R will have a slightly less peaky/powerful and more driveable version of this very engine.

Nissan/Nismo in colaboration with Cosworth tuned 3.2L V6 Twin Turbo with an estimated 470+ hp.

The VQ32DETT compared to the (current) top of the line VQ35DE. The main VQ32DETT differences comprise of: 3.2L capacity, dry sump, twin throttle bodies, Twin motor-assisted (spool up) turbos, NDIS Direct Ignition and separate intake manifold for each cylinder bank.

And finally, a lame CG pic:

They're calling it "Hybrid Supersports" and a "V35 bodied GT-R Prototype" has been spotted testing at a closed session at Nurburgring in Germany. Thats what they're saying, I'll neither confirm or disconfirm the sighting, as no other mags have reported it (yet).

thanks Rezz,

I think that just confirms most of the rumours over the past year or so, the e4WD, electric motors at the wheels, VQ32DETT, and who could forget the assisted spooling turbos..

I'm interested in these electric motors at the wheels, and wondered if you have any input seeing your closer to the source. I read a recent article how Lexus maybe fitting these to the next GS models, the motor would make aprox 300kw + 150kw electric motors would be fitted to the front wheels. The benefit claimed is instant torque/power...WOW!

mesh: Haven't seen the KLAXON pics before, but they do seem a bit *too* chopped to be taken seriously... too much journalist input.

Notice how the final pic in my first post has 19 inch wheels? That was one of the changes that Nissan made when they spotted the GT-R at Nurburgring (old section).

actually, the more I look at the front end of the red GTR pic I posted, the moe it reminds me of the recent Audi Concept Car (I think it is called) RSR?? Hmmm! love the rest of it, not sure about the front end looks like it needs to point up a bit more rather than sloping down.

Good spotting what a rip off from the Audi RSQ concept for the movie I Robot...

I was going to say it also looked similar to the B4 Asterope, with that colour scheme.

i still thinks the next skyline needs round rear stove top like tail lights dammit, but ah well it aint like anyone will be complaining as its got just about everything else, amazing technology is going into it by the sounds of things, cant wait
Don't worry, judging by the reception the original 2001 GT-R Concept got (read: mostly bad, except a big thumbs up for the tail lights), theres no way Nissan are leaving them off the next GT-R! I can aaaaaaalmost assure you...
another one... :Bang:
Aaaaaargh! Can you delete that one? That one has been proven to be a backyard photochop by "nobody in paticular"... it looks like someone whos never seen a real GT-R before has just used whatever concept car pieces took their fancy and purt it together (although I wish I could use Photoshop like that...).

done.

i want it to look scary to match the performance.

R34 GTR did that pretty well I think.. R33 and R32 looked visually at least a little tamer.

The concept post looks really just like a V35 squished a little. The V35 shape still doesn't really appeal. Too much 350z in the lines.

Yes i agree but looking at the maxima and 350z, pulsar nissan are really making their cars more smooth and round looking rather than having the sharper lines such as the r34. But yeh i also hope that the new skyline will have great looks to match all that performance and technology :boinkcar:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
