Heres a pic of all 22 owners - except Amemiya Isami of RE Amemiya, he's a Mazda tuner of course - of Japanese tuning garages and parts companies say that they have already ordered (or are going to order) a 2008 GT-R for tuning/demo car purposes:

I'd say the next GT-R will be very well supported - eventually - for aftermarket tuning, so as far as custom stuff having to be made? Maybe not.

Did you notice its displacement on the left bottom of the page......3.6L...

There must be two types...one for the mums and dads.....4L turbo...and one for th serious,...3.6LTT.

I have heard this though but though it was also a marketing scam for responce.

No I didn't... where does it say that?

Mate there a different capacity quoted in each different magazine out there... seriously 3.6L, 3.7L, 3.8L... and now this british site with 4.0L. The current VQ37HR in the V36 Skyline coupe is a reality though, so that sounds about right to me. But as far as a 'mums and dads' car is concerned... not sure how you can say that when the thing isn't even released yet?

V36GT-R....bottom left of page...unsure what the rest of the Japanese writing is after that though.

Mums and dads is a Phrase....It really means...executives,movie stars,politicians with money,Eddie Macguire type individual.......with no Knowledge on cars.

Non enthusiasts...most people who buy a Porsche...for the image............So these are the people that they want to sell the car to.IMAGE IMAGE IMAGE

Not one will see the track...this is why two motors I believe have been developed.....As stated to me by a Nissan Sales Rep.Not that is 100%....

Why are you so defensive,,,why are all you moderators so defensive and up tight.....this is general discussion.......you have been warned...get off my back...lol

I've already ordered mine and the HKS 4.2l stroker kit.

Wtf...? Nice rant towards the end there champ :P

First of all, 'V36' is a chassis number... not displacement. We're up to 'V36' now, last Skyline being the 'V35'... remember that one? Nowhere in that article does it discuss displacement.

I'm not defensive or uptight. You're reading into things too much if you think that.

And heres what I think :) The next GT-R will be an enthusiasts car, it will not be marketed towards mums and dads or 'Eddie Maguire' (lol), and I wouldn't be suprised if Nissan field one in motorsport eventually (not sure which class), and it will see track time in some form or another.

Have to disagree with you there mate. Non enthusiasts who want to show image and status buy 7 series, S class, A8, Phantom and such...

Most of those who buy Porsches and Ferraris are enthusiasts with MORE MONEY than the rest. Can you say an 997 GT3 is just for image? An 360 Challenge Stradale is just for show? Think twice.

Most of these exotic road based track car owners are serious motorsport enthusiasts who probably have more knowledge on cars than you could ever be. They could afford to buy and experience many more different kinds of sports cars. They could afford to take more time off work. And they are more likely to be able to participate in motorsport events more often, without worring about entry fees, tyre and fuel costs, maintenance, break downs and other concerns you may have.

And dont assume these guys wont be the first to own the NEW GTR too.

Porsches are for non enthusiasts? I dont think so.

:P

:banana:

I meant non turbo 911's and non 4 wheel drive ferraris...this is what the mums and dads drive......GT3 or Enzo is another story.

And yes....I was wrong with the 3.6 litre...36 was the next series number..thanks Rezz

Thanks boys...I still stand my statements(In regards to 2 models 1-for the mums and dads,1 for the enthusiat) and only time will tell if I am right or wrong.And by the way...it is going to be a commercial flop...but we will have a toy to play with in a few years time..lol

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
