1. This car will never be sold in Australia so -> who cares. 2. Any company can make a car that goes fast - but the low rent interior of previous GT-R`s makes them junk. 3. This car is not in the same class as a Porche and never will be.

got to like when idiots have access to the net

will have to wait for the 997 GT2. It will be good to see the 2 new twin turbo 4WDs having a good crack at Nords

The word is that the V35GTRs will be available here within 2 years for the very cheap price of around $120k. I will DEFINITELY be grabbing one!!! :rolleyes: Find me a quicker car for the money!

Ariel Atom is around that sort of coin

As the title says, Looks like the GTR is on the right path to become the best/fastest car to roll off the production line!

Like we had any doubts........... :rolleyes:

I doubt it.

The new GTR will be a pig of a car weighing in at 1740kg, will only be available in automatic, and will come with run-flats as standard.

The hyped up times for the GTR is similar to the previous sub 8 minute time..........i.e. they were never proven and they were never official times.

how much for a roof on the ariel atom? is it roadworthy?

Well.. it's not really a car - I just like stirring the pot.

It's quicker than a Carrera GT and only just behind the Enzo on the Top Gear test track.. I don't think the new GTR could catch it on a smaller track, will have to wait and see.

wow 1740kgs is a fair bit of weight! but it's understandable because even with the older gtr's they've had trouble keeping the weight down but they were jam packed with goodies! oh yeah i remember reading in some magazine it'll come with a 7 speed clutchless gearbox! well that's what i read

Well I have seen the spy video of a V36GTR (yes I think you are correct Turbz) absolutely hosing a turbo Porsche around the Nurburgring - so regardless of the weight they are going to be fast. Not sure about the 1,700kg+ thing - you would have thought they would make them lightweight components.

I applaud their decision to use a 7 speed tiptronic gearbox - would be even more excited if they used a modified/variable CVT system too - would be very interesting with the grunt of a VQ35DETT (or whatever they end up putting in them). I can't rave enough about my stock R34 tiptronic gearbox - it is unreal (and I save up to 1/2 a second on every gear change compared with a manual). I am sure the GTR semi-auto box will be significantly more high-tech and brilliant to drive. I know manual purists will slay me here - but that is my very firmly-held opinion. I will love my tiptronic box even more once I get Mike from MVs to rebuild it with kevlar goodies, modified high-stall and valve body upgrade in the near future. :)

actually the V36 is currently in production, and seeing as the new GTR is branching off the Skyline family, it'll have a totally seperate chassis designation.

in any case, its actually a GOOD thing for us aussies if they DON'T sell the GTR in australia. Why? Well lets put it this way... say Nissan Australia wants to sell the new GTR here for around $150,000. Nissan Japan wants to sell it over there for about $100,000. If its not sold in australia, we can import it. If we can import it, add luxury tax, GST and compliance and all that... and you'll save about $30,000 on it :) Plus there's no cap on how many are imported, but nissan australia can control how many are sold locally.

    • 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?    
    • 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!"
    • 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. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
