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)

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?

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.

Polyphony, creators of Gran Turismo, was contracted to develop the multifunction display which can log dozens of parameters. (Photo by Barry Hayden)

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 :)

    • 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!
