read it for yourselves

I always read stuff on upcoming cars with scepticism, they make half the stuff up, along with the pics, looks like a Photochop attempt to me.

See'ya:burnout:

I have seen similar pictures somewhere. I will wait till production starts. Seems certain though that there will be no more RB26DETT.

Its gonna be awesome because the stock power output is gonna be high.That means modified ones will be mad.Im not sure but i think the nissan boss wants a broader market with the new gtr,not only in japan.So maybe you can see the gtr in an aussie nissan showroom?who knows

It depends what sort of thing they're going for - it looks/sounds like they're going for a much more sports-luxury sedan feel with the emphasis on the later more than the former. To compete in the class of say an M3, Lexus, or something like that.

Shuto-boy: Its hard to tell...depends of course on the turbo and other components as to mod prospects. It may not be fully specced for higher performance, which means it could come with a high power output as standard, but the capability to take it much further may not be there. It may not be over-engineered like the older GTRs in other words.

In my opinion,

Nissan's chasing more of the "ultimate car" title.So they might be trying to rival porsche or something.I guess thats always been the character of the GTR.Anyway just hope its a twin turbo v6.

so how much u think a new r35gtr will be in aust? $150k?, and for that sort of money it's competing with plenty of niche market car, and the sad facts of life is there are more possuers than purist, so i can't see it happening .

[predator]

yeah, it won't sell in Australia even if they give it a bit of a try..

If i had $150k there would be many other cars i would consider, even if it was a skyline

nice predator pick bro. anyway...no one knows till it comes out . thats it. people try to geuss now but only time can tell.

I have came across some very nice concept pics of the new r35. The one shown above looks too much like the 350Z. Too tame for my liking. If someone tells me how to post images up onto this forum, I would be glad to share the pics with you guys.

[GTR]

yeh ive seen like atleast 3 different type of pics of the the GTR concept, including the one they previewed at the tokyo motorshow i think it was. they even have pics of it on the nissan japan official website

Austin, just post a reply and at the bottom there should be a "Browse" button to attach a file. Pics have to be 100k or smaller tho. try that! cos i've heard some good stuff about these rendered photo's.

cheers.
