They will probably release information slowly. Things like transmission options (Sequential? Manual?) and engine configuration (V6? V8? Capacity?) will be confirmed soon. And I think the power output of the engine and price will be the last things to be confirmed.

Apparently some sources say it will be a twin-turbo 3.7L v6 that puts out more than 335kw, with a seven speed sequential manual.

However this is all rumours.

Also the four exhaust pipes coming out the back suggest it will be a v8. But really its anyones guess I suppose.

The full specs will probably be released a lot closer to the release date to continue to build the hype.

last to be confirmed... but probably early to be estimated? who remembers when bugatti said their veyron would be 1000hp, then they went into the development of it and realised 1000hp was hard to achieve when their engines kept melting :lol:

I heard the engine is actually good for over 1300hp, but the cooling system alone saps about 300hp of the engine's power just to run it.

And what's the deal with this 4 tail pipes meaning it's a V8? That's the stupidest shit I have ever heard! BMW M3 has 4 tail pipes and is a straight six. Mercedes SL65 has 4 tailpipes and is a V12. And many V8s only have a single exhaust. The Mazda 6 has twin exhausts, I could put twin tip mufflers on each and give it 4 tail pipes, and that's only a 4 cylinder!

OMFG LOOK!!!! IT'S A V8 MAZDA 6!!!!

So I dont think we can speculate on engine configuration based on the number of tail pipes alone.

Well thats the biggest overreaction I've ever heard. :O

I just thought I'd mention it as a possibility. I never said it would be a v8. Perhaps I worded it incorrectly which suggested this.

I have read an article which suggested it may be a v8 due to the four tailpipes. I assumed since this was a motoring journo with many years experience he would have some idea what he was talking about. I didn't really think too much into what he had to say but offered it as just a small piece of input to balance against the unconfirmed reports that it will be a v6. You seem as though you were almost offended by this comment.

You say many v8s have a single exhuast. Wtf has that got to do with anything? So should I also jump to conclusions and believe you are implying that if the gtr was a v8 it would have a single exhaust? That is the stupidest shit I've ever heard! :lol:

See, jumping to ridiculous conslusions is quite moronic.

Unfortunatley as you would know I and just about everyone else on this website have only seen photos of the new GTR so both you and I can only speculate on what we hear from the motoring journos who have the privledge of actually seeing this thing in the flesh.

If you just felt the need to express frustation of some sort than go ahead. But perhaps make your own thread for flaming.

Hahaha sorry Shyster, didn't mean to get you worked up! :P It wasn't anything personal against you I assure you. I was merely stating my opinion that you cannot predict engine specs based on the number of tail pipes. Guess I got a bit carried away, but it was all in fun and nothing I said was in anger. :) Plus I've heard motoring journalists say some stupid stuff before, so I never fully beleive their predictions. :(

Its all good mate. Maybe I was the one that got a bit carried away.

Yeah I guess I've heard motoring journos talk some shit before as well. :) A mate of mine used to be one. :lol:

its gonna be a twin turbo v6 based on the 350z engine says an article in todays paper. it wont be realised until 2007 or later here in australia but were definalty getting it :( dunno about capacity thought heard it was 3ltr..... with ova 355kw at the engine i guess.... the article about it was in todays carsguide, its got a huge picture of it cant miss it!!!

P.S its not gonna be a v8 nissan said it was to heavy and mucked up the wieght balnce or sumthin like that....

hope that helped :mellow:

Since the 350Z is 3.5 litres, V6, 206 rwkw, RWD and 6 speed, the GTR will have to go somewhat better than that. My guesses;

* Between 3.0 and 3.6 litre V6 with at least 300 kw

* To do that it will need a turbo or two, I reckon 2 (GTR history)

* It won't NEED a 7 speed, but they might give it one just to bump the spec up

* With 300 +kw I don't think RWD will do the job, so I reckon 4wd is the go.

* Light weight (well lighter than the R32/33/34), so lots and lots of alloy, bonnet, boot, guards, suspension etc

* Some functional carbon fibre bits, front spoiler extension, rear wing and diffuser

* Two trim specs, spartan for racing and luxury to justify the price.

Them's my guesses.

:blink: cheers :blink:

i thought in Japan they had restrictions, cannot produce more than 208KW factory

It was 206kw. It was only an agreement between japanese car companies, it was not a law.

They are throwing this out the window with the new gtr though.

Also it was a bit of a joke anyway, since the gtr has always been over 206kw. They have just said it was 206kw to pretend that they weren't breaking the agreement.

I remember when Wheels (or was it Motor? It was ages ago now...) tested the R34 GTR N1. They ran 0-100 in 4.4 and the 1/4 in 12.6 if I remember rightly.

206kw my ass :D

EDIT: (Maybe 206kw at the wheels...)

Edited by Big Rizza

I read recent article that they are going to abolish that 206kw thingy...

and sumwhere else that the GTR is to be v8....

they are moving from turbotech to v8s now.....

quite the opposite to Commodores and Fords, start to produce XRturbos...

Yeah I read something similar where they compared it to a HSV GTS. I think it was in motor. They put it on a dyno and I can't remember what it got but i think it wasn't far off the GTS's 300kw.

I think Nissan is allowing rumors to abound as to keep their competitors guessing. The other Jap companies were clamoring all over themselves to get the specs on the Z32 and Z33 when they came out.

How lame is this blatant copy of the GTR Proto's front end!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
