Those pics are only prototypes.

If you look at the 350z, they kept chopping and changing the design up untill a month before release. Changed the front air dam design slighty around the time of the motorshow in sydney.

Expect to see a twin turbo charged engine, from the 350z, based on the FM platform, with a new variation of attessa 4wd traction, and 4 round lights at the rear as well.

But i wouldnt be suprised if they went for the 4.5L V8 engine from the infinity model.

No matter what though, you will be garanteed that The new GT-R will be the showcase for Nissans techonology and engineering. It has generations of racing pedigree behind it.

This model should elevate it from a 'super' car to a real supercar and hand the Europeans a big can of whoopass !

I don't think they've even confirmed whether the GTR will come to Australia or not. I believe the head dude of Nissan Oz says if they came in RHD, then he'd like to get them here but i have a feeling it's mainly up to Japan. I just hope they change the final version heaps, apparently after the first concept was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show they got a lot of negative feedback and word is that they have changed the look heaps. Hope so.

I doubt Nissan will bring a + $100,000 car into Australia. Nissan Australia lost heaps on the 100 R32 GTRs that it brought in. Mind you $110,000 in 1990/91 was a hell of a lot of dosh!

Let's face it Australia doesn't have the population (or maturity, history - insert appropriate noun) to accept high priced and high tech Japanese cars. Honda's NSX is the exception but even this one sells less than a dozen per year Australia wide.

From what I have read, saw and been told, the new model GT-R wont be a R35, the model has changed to V35 reflecting the use of the 3.5L V6 engine the VG series of engine.

Also the Skyline Sedan and Coupe models still 'kinda' retain the afterburner tail lights, you can see them when the brakes are on although the styling doesn't reflect that during the day.

An article quoted by the chief designer from Nissan Japan stated that the GT-R will/might be a VG35DETT ie. 3.5L Twin Turbo V6 engine with a quoted power rating of 206Kw's (yeah right, they only say that so the governement wont get the wobblies)

ans as Nismodified said, the photos are only concepts, prototypes and artists renditions. No one will really know what the V35 GT-R will look like until it's released at the Tokyo Motor Show later this year.

Nissan Australia will proabably sell the GT-R on an 'as need' basis. Rather than imported 100-200-300 etc. GT-R's into Australia they will look at who has put their hand up for one and get that amount.

Look at HSV's HRT427, 20 people put down deposit's on the car at the Sydney Motor show, even before HSV confirmed that the car was going to be built. and that bu**er is $250,000.

Im curious to know if the new GT-R will be a called a V35? The V35 is the model up from the R34 which is already out now the skyline V35 GT, but if the new GT-R isnt a skyline.Which is what ive heard (just nissan GT-R) Technically it cant be called a V35 GT-R let alone R35 GT-R :P

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
