but why would u want a 6pd as opposed to paddle flappers? seriously? do people think they can change faster then 0.2 seconds and as smoothly? or is it the fanboy thing to want cause all real drivers use them?

i could understand if it came with a farkin 3 speed auto out of a VL ffs.

I had a year with that God forsaken VL auto box-o-shit... I would've rather been hung-drawn and quartered, then forced to wear a barbed wire G-string for all eternity...

I've never seen or used a crappier 'box' in my life, I could've designed a better one with a dozen empty tuna cans, polly pipe, nail clippers, a tub of mobile oil, and pin-ball machine parts....

I wasn't a big fan of the prototype but I must admit I do like the outcome of the new GTR. Still a shame that it just doesn't seem aggresive like the R32/R33/R34 but times are changing and I think nissan is onto a good thing. I wonder if I can take one for a test drive even though I would never be able to afford just the bonnet.

simple things like cosmetic looks will no doubt be the first to be altered by bodykits and such, so if nissan doesn't make it look "tough" in standard form, then it can be changed. That said, for some reason the toughest looking R32, R33 and R34 GTR's have all been standard Nissan V-Spec or Nismo editions.

just saw that.....reminds me of the hummer - it just looks all blocky

reminds me of a jeep wrangler interior... esp those vents and HUD.

Talk about information overload though... all those gauges and buttons... and guys never read the instruction manual so it'll be a month of windscreen wipers goin on when you want to change the track on your CD.

I 100% agree, the Nismo kits are just tuff and if the GTR ever comes with an option like that so called "Evolution" it would be one SEXY car! I can't wait to see what Nismo do to this thing :rolleyes:

you are missing the point funkeh, no one is ever meant to be in the back seat. lol. unless you're back there getting the sword shined... :P

Hahahahahahaha :rolleyes:

and risk spilling the polish onto the alcantara? nevar!

Hahahahahahaha :P

RB26DETT ---> VR38DETT - Aluminium block V6...gonna be one amazing powahplant :yes:

I would be happy with DSG any day. Not sure how many of you have never missed a gear on the race track, but I sure have.

Yeh, i have missed gears, and i understand its application in a race car. But for me its a road car and part of that is pushing pedals and rowing up and down the gears. I have only had brief drives of paddle shift cars and they are ok but it sucks coming down the free off ramp and just puching a paddle rather then doing all the work yourself.

To me its about fun....just like i used to think havign a sequential manual woudl be cool until i was in a car with one and realised how big a pain in the ass it was. To me its a shame the same companyy that came up with the 240Z, well i was hoping its styling would be better.

That all said the price makes it attractive

I'd like to take this opportunity to start the rumour that VR stands for "Very Racy"... i'm sick and tired of shmucks thinking RB stands for "Race Bred"... so this is my revenge.

l agree about the DSG thing I reckon a manual would be more fun if not a little slower...

but I guess I'll just have to keep the 32 and have the new one aswell.....

Slow=fun? :)

you can still bash the gear selector up and down like a sequential, no clutch pedal.

from the GTR website;

Fully automatic shifting or full sequential manual control via gearshift or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
