Believe it or not, previous GT-R owners...

SOMEBODY. STOP. THOSE. GODDAM. YANKS. FROM. GAY-IFYING. EVERYTHING!!!! Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggh! :Pullhairout:

If there was ever a poll that needed a "cheese" option, this is it. Sad.

Yeah erik? Wanna post up a link or pics or something? Mmmmmm?

Apparently, that winged Kangaroo logo was used on the S50 Skyline brochure from 1965. Heres the only pic I could find, it's bloody small, but you can see the logo: There is also a courier company here in Japan that uses a "Flying Kangaroo" logo, I believe the company is called "Kan-gaaaar-ru" or something (in katakana)...

What they're doing with e-4WD is the next step in evolution for the ATESSA system and it's original concept. I think it's brilliant... and the more I think about it, the more logical it all seems.

Why?Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota are all doing it. Think outside the square dude!

Nissan will well and truly have all those things sorted out before the next GT-R goes on sale... like it says in the first post, Nissan already have the "e-4WD" system in the current Nissan March so a performance version of the e-4WD is in development now.

Troy: Didn't get this months Best Motoring, but I flicked through Horide Auto and Goo Cars and saw some of the Toyota Hybrid power systems to be used for sportscars. But yeah, awesome acceleration is one of the strong points they went on about.

Hi guys, Just letting you in on a secret hobby of mine. I like taking and collecting pictures of skyscrapers. Is that geek or what??? Anyways, I just wanted to know if any of you Sydney members has a pic of Sydney CBD from showing the newly completed World Tower apartment building from (dare I say) Nielsen Point or Taronga Zoo? Thanks. Rezz

Ah, good to see you again Viper...

Ha, why didn't I think of that? [sarcasm] They've got ALL the answers...[/sarcasm]

Just adding on to what Skyline_Boy posted... R34 Series 1 front bumper: R34 Series 2 front bumper: The interior of the Series 2 has alot more silver painted parts... the center consle and on the steering wheel for example. Demon Dave will be able to tell us exactly what the differences are (if he has time ).

heheheh, looks like you'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century Dan... Lithium_the future.

Mmmmmyes... the waistline is way too high IMO.

No man, read it again . They used the Nissan March e-4WD as an example. Of course the new GT-R is RWD until the front wheels break (or almost break) traction, then the electric motor kicks in to drive the front wheels. So, the "concept" is the same as ATESSA, just not directly linked by way of a drive shaft. Think of the e-4WD as a "power-by-wire" set up...

Not really anything groundbreaking here, but I just wanted to keep you guys up to date with any new GT-R info that comes out in ... errr... Japan. Pic: Basically, the article just goes on about the development of a CVT transmission that can handle big power, to be mated to a 4WD system (which they didn't go into detail about, or directly refer to it as an "ATESSA" system), but just made parallels between it and the e-4WD as seen on the current Japanese market Nissan March. The e-4WD system on the March is like ATESSA (like on an N14 GTi-R for example), but theres no driveshaft to the rear wheels, just wires to a traction sensing computer, then to an electric motor which supplies power to the rear. This is probably what the new GT-R will use instead of the old ATESSA set up... They also report about the "EFFIS" Hybrid power system, how it will use lithium batteries under the floor to supply power to the front wheels (on a GT-R application) and that the whole system is a beefed up version putting out "big power"... nice... I guess. ***EDIT*** Just looking back at the article, they say the power tranfer to the front wheels is via a switch and a generator, just like what the Toyota Prius uses. So you won't have to go recharging batteries... At this point my Japanese ability went downhill quickly, there were quite a few words I didn't know (but got the gist of the meaning from the kanji). So don't go quoting me on that EFFIS Hybrid stuff. As afr as the pic is concerned, I do like the illustration they did with the new GT-R, the rear panel and taillights do have a strong resemblence to the old skool "Ken-meri" KPCG110 GT-R: Nice. Oh, and heres a pic of the new RX-7, which they say will be a RENESIS 3-rotor 400ps lightweight "Compact Body" supercar... I won't go into details, I'll let someone who's down with Mazda a bit more to explain. /Rezz

I'm not saying he should come on here and start a thread about a competitors car! We got a thread about this "Heat Treatments 8.40" bizness just like SDU, except Mario doesn't comment here on the local forum... thats what I mean.

Should've chucked an "IMO" on the end there... forgive me for being so crap.

$650??? That 1:18 scale Biante R32 on that Japanese site is only 7000 yen (A$82.65)... You might have to get the Biante and modify it, give it a new paint job and take the cage out etc? Probably not what you're after but... thats the only 1:18 R32 I've seen around.

Check out this site guys! Selling Australian car models to Japan!

This is the only 1:18 scale R32 GT-R I could come up with, and it seems to be from Australia? Biante ring a bell?

Yeah I know... but the question still stands...

So what I wanna know is... why doesn't Mario come on here and tell us? I mean, he's an Aussie right?Or does that NZ forum have more credibility than SAU? F*ck that.
