Crap.

Didn't wanna start a shit fight. I think DSG has it's merits faster etc. etc.....maybe they should have another option...sequential stick shift just to go the middle ground =D

New GTR is expensive as...180k? Seriously??

I always thought the Veyron wasn't geared for the 1/4? Hence the "slow" times. Their top speed/stability is impressive though (about as shocking as the price tag)

I always thought the Veyron wasn't geared for the 1/4? Hence the "slow" times. Their top speed/stability is impressive though (about as shocking as the price tag)

The times quoted for the Veyron 1/4 range from low 10's, up to 10.8 max.

Even at only 10.8, that still makes it (by a fair margin), the hardest accelerating production supercar of all time.

So if that's "slow", what is everything else?

Why are ppl saying 180k?

Its 80k in the US prolly around 120k here

120K..,put me down for 1 please.

Plus I get a discount on top....because I have bought so many of them...lol.

mate, it's time to let it go. They're not going to be $250k like you thought, they are not going to be $200k like you thought, and they are definitely not going to be $180k like you think. PERHAPS, the TOP track spec version, with ceramic brakes, CF roof/bonnet/cup holders will be pushing $180k (ie, COMPLETELY optioned out ONTOP of the top version) but your run of the mill GTR is looking to be $120K-$140K

its not about having a slower or faster car. At least not for me anyway. Im a purist... is that OK with you?

soon you guys will be saying " i applaud the use of automatic driver assistance everything...all i have to do is sit there. its the way of the future..."

agreed. who cares if the evo is quicker then a gtst? i get 10x more fun out of punting my rwd manual hard then a semi-auto, driver assisted, etc....

the GTR buyer should be given the option of traditional or paddle shift gearbox - would keep everyone happy :)

The discussions were if I am not mistaken, that the gtr was on the wrong end of 150K.

Thus above 150K..

Correct me if I am wrong..but most who have made deposits have been told this...

considering the Japanese yen and Aussie dollar are virtually neck and neck at the moment, going from ¥8,000,000 yen which its supposed to be priced, to $120~150,000 is quite a big bloody jump.

private import investors anyone?

The Veyron is fast But Not the Hardest Accelerating Production supercar of all time!. Please stand corrected!

Behold the RWD Koenigsegg CCX

Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0–62 mph) 3.2 seconds

Top speed: 395+ km/h (242+ mph)

Standing quartermile: 9 seconds, end speed 235 km/h (146 mph)

So what will the tuning houses like Nismo, Top Secret, Mines etc etc etc. be able to do with such a high platform!?

The other GTR's seemed as though they were purposly built with "tunability" in mind..

Once the thuning houses get their hands ahold of this.. I feel that 1000kw will become something of a bit of a norm.

how do you improve on such a highly developed car? Even when you do.. 997 Turbo's will seem like Lada's compaired to the GTR

I dunno why but I found this amusing.

Does this mean I just hit the "restart level" button (I'm sure it's got one) if I prang the car? :D

Actually the fastest is the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

The quickest in everything else including acceleration and stopping would be the Ultima GTR.

Both cars use a twin turbo Chev V8, so pretty basic engine. The SSC har over 1000hp which is important for top speed runs while the GTR has around 740hp.

If the R35 GTR is on thw wrong side of 150K nissan will have a problem moving them, considering Audi will be releasing the all new V10 twin turbo RS6 with 450KW @ 1900kgs for the princely sum of 245-250K, and that pricing is already confirm.. So it will be interesting to see how far Nissan OZ is prepare to rip the general Oz motorist of. Yes I know ther is about 100k think resale, Lesser of a HOON image.

As for DSG or Ferrari F1, once you driven a well sorted system, you will be thinking, never a H shift pattern again, Period!!!

I rather have a hennessy viper than either of those two. The SSC and Ultima's have poo interiors for the mega dollar price tag. And they are powered by a chev :)

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
