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.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.

      Out of curiosity, how do officials determine what the OEM ride height and suspension specs are? Do they have a book of truth? I'd think that would be quite obscure knowledge for random JDM cars.

      This is the check list they sign off on. This implies that adjustable coilovers of the type we're referring to are not a "Variable Ride Height" system. This very much is in the ethos of "I can change the height while moving/while parked without pulling wheels off the car and mechanically doing so"

      Just an update  ... Put the cat back on no issues with the car running wise ... maybe alittle longer to spoil up the turbo. Still running rich but waiting for my tuner to come back into town to retify the situation. WOT runs fine with the cat.
