looks ok i guess, was never a fan of any of the prototype skylines. this one does look better than wat the one looked like at the japan motorshow....

3 cheers for keeping it a 6!!!! i have won several arguments with idiots that thought an 8 was going into it

Didn't read the article, does it say how much power it is expected to have. Anything under 450hp will put it way behind the Euros.

Also, is it just me or does it have a slight mustang look to it. not say I would confuse the two (I'll go wash my mouth out with soap and water)

My quote from November last year:

If we are going to guess, we have to be pretty speciffic:

Engine; "VQ37DDTT" 3.7 litre biturbo V6 based off the VQ engines, DOHC, direct injection

Power; peak power of 450 bhp at about 7000 rpm, peak torque of 600-650 Nm from 2500 to 4500 rpm

Gearbox; 6 speed manual with 7 speed sequential optional

Drive; 4wd with rear drive bias

Body; 2 door coupe, aluminium bonnet and front guards, magnesium alloy wheels, carbon fibre aero kits as a factory option (or as part of a V-Spec package?)

Price; In Australia, I'm guessing it will be Porsche 911 money as a private import, so around $200k. If it is released here as a full volume import by Nissan, it may be $25k to $40k less than that.

Direct injection is a long shot, but I will predict is as not many others will. So if I'm right everyone will think I am awesome. :) Although now that I have said that, any chance on that happening is gone :thanks:

I'm really hoping they go for 500hp. It seems to be the magic figure in the motoring industry these days. Gallardo, Ferrari F430, BMW M5, Corvette Z06, Mercedes SL55 and SL600, all have very very close to 500 bhp if not exactly 500 bhp - it's the power output every manufacturer seems to want. But I think reallistically 450 bhp will be about right.

I think my guess was pretty good!

the front bar and headlights still retains alot of the R34 GTR characteristics,

the rear spoiler looks like the R32 GTR spoiler just more areodynamic, good to see nissan keeping some of the original looks from the previous models.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
