Carsguide.com agrees with what was said there, including the bit on likely engine specs.

"Just what is under the bonnet or in the cabin remains a closely guarded secret but the smart money is on a 3.7-litre bi-turbo V6 punching out something in the range of 350kW, driving all four wheels through a seven-speed sequential gearbox."

Not sure how good a 7 speed sequential box will go down with long time GTR fans though. I know the BMW M5 fans went nuts when it was revealed the 7 speed sequential box (SMGIII) was the only choice for the E60 M5. But I guess some will hate it, some will love it. I just hope it comes with a 6 speed manual as an option.

interesting sideline on the quote:

"Launched in 1990, the original GT-R cost $110,000 and only 100 were imported. It was so powerful, it dominated Australian motor racing in the early 1990s (until the rules were changed to ban it from racing) and out-paced thoroughbred European cars. The GT-R's cult status has seen subsequent generations imported into Australia privately"

from what i've found, nissan struggled to sell the 32 gtr, and managed only 70 something sales of the 100 imported gtr's. sad huh?

another interesting aside - the guy who owns the original 'skaife/richards' gtr reckons he has to keep it behind glass because of the hatred for that car - even to this day V8 diehards are still spitting on it.

can anyone else here remember 'gentleman jim' saying 'you're all a pack or arseholes" ???

long live the pushron moron.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
