Why should it be the other way around???

I'd never used a sequential stick before the DSG and i kept pulling down a gear when i wanted to shift up. It "felt" more natural to pull down when accelerating due to the forces (maybe?). Even currently in the Stagea sequential auto, i still do it sometimes.

I've picked up a mag over here which has the first undisguised pics I've seen. The front is very clean with some very tasteful carbon detailing on the front sides and rear. It actually reminds me a little of the Carbon Burnout Kit I had on my CPV35.

Yes, well I havent broken it yet so its still on the 35 :(

I found an I O U in the glove box of the 35 today, I cant believe i didnt see it it before now! it says "This IOU entitles the new owner of this vehicle 1x Drive & 1x Hotlap in my soon to arrive GTR. Love Jeff"

Will be interesting to see how it holds up against the the 35 blown :)

Nissan are really being tight lipped about info on the new GTR. A good mate of mine Stephen Barnes,who works for northside said there was not extra details / specs he can provide when submitting a offer to purchase.

Stephen you are the second to put their name down, thats brilliant Jash.

BMW use to have their steptronic, UP to go up, DOWN to go down a gear. But reversed it in the new cars and to fall into step with their SMG boxes as they felt keeping it relative to the forces the driver is experiencing is more natural.

Accelerating you're being pushed back in your set, so PULL the gear stick back. Braking is the opposite, so PUSH the gearstick up...

that's what i think the logic was anyway...

not sure if it's been said but the V35 350GT has forward = up, back = down

i can't see nissan changing their mind, although in hte V35 its as simple as changing over 2 plugs to reverse the system if you're that way inclined. i'd say the GTR would offer the same option for those in the electrical know-how

Hahaha no shit aye! I was wondering why my gear changes were the opposite to the logos + & - printed on the shifter surround.

Yes it makes the action more natural this way!

Congrats on the order...

Why not have a box that moves left for down and right for up...like writing..lol......1 2 3 4 5 6

Who are the dumb f3$ks making these decisions?... :laughing-smiley-014:

The only reason the GTR is going to be priced that low is that we have had a surge in the Australian dollar.

My predictions was close to 200K about a year ago..most just laughed...

SO BE GRATEFULL FOR THE OZZY DOLLAR GUYS ;)

Thats what i was getting at. I cant believe they would even consider it the other way..

Anyway good luck to all the blokes lucky enough to have ordered one.

Although GTR_35 if you are taking delivery in 09 what year model will the car be stamped..

I imagine it will be 2009 build if it is a March delivery.

I will be in the first allocation, and this is the earliest ETA given.

Japan is first, then USA then Oz. Japan will start delivery by Christmas.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
