well after watching this, it seems to have a manualised auto transmission, bcoz it shifts up gears so smoothly, and when under breaking into corners he revs it up to change down gears. also i dont think the engine sounds like a v8 like it says on that site. doesnt sound throaty enough to me.

sounds tough, it would be running the gearboxes similar to what they run in all the new lexus's and bmw's i reckon...auto sequential but with a decent manual override function that auto rev matches and paddle shifts. Cant wait to see it when its released!!!

it does sound like a v8 i reckon.....and there is one stage in the video where he comes into a corner and u can hear quite loud turbine spool....worth a listen :)

well, somebody was wrong aye lol didnt sound like a v8 to me at all, now its released seems i was right. oh well guess i have an ear for things like that.

i hate the body, its lost the unique Skyline aesthetic now it just looks like another Euro S car. not that they look bad but its a shame to see such a great shape lost to mediocrity of these new rich-boy-toy mobiles.

i would still own one if i could afford it though :mellow:

    • I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.
    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
