gone is the true GTR ??

show me a stock 34 do 0 - 100 in 3.6 secs lol, or even do a 7.38 at the Nurburgring for that matter, This wll never take the place of GTRs gone in my mind, but i wont discount it as a true GTR either, its HOT and flippen powerfull

why?

does it need to be 20 seconds slower around the 'ring, have a weaksauce oil supply system, and be cursed with 5/8ths of f**k-all low rpm torque to be 'the real deal' :spank:

well it already has a much better lubrication system than the RB-series engines, forged pistons and has titanium conrods/valves standard

the only potential weak links are the block rigidity or (although unlikely) the head gasket design

It looks more like a 350Z, and the last I looked, that's not a Commodore.

Non manual? DSG is even better than manual -- true super-cars of the 21st century have all gone this way so why shouldn't Nissan?

No "etesa"? It has ATTESA E-TS all wheel drive.

It has 353kw and 588nm torque from a VR38DETT (3.8 litre twin turbo DOHC V6) engine; in my opinion, this will not only be "true" to the GT-R image, but will enhance it. Its going to be roughly half the price of a Porsche for the same performance around a track, to me that sounds exactly like what the next GT-R is and should be all about.

However much of a ball tearer this is, and however much I want it, i'll still always have a special place in my heart for the 'old skool' Japanese cars even if a lot of them had inherent faults from the factory :spank:

actually if you think about it, every single GTR in Nissan's history has been a straight 6... the S20 in the C10 and C110, and the RB26 in the R32, R33 and R34.

I still say that the new GT-R is more Z than Skyline, just whoring on the heritage of the Skyline brand and icons.

same

but the world moves on- not many people here would think all that highly of the V8 type that just have to have a big Holley 850 carb and kettering distributor ignition system on their 351c.i pushrod valve bounce machine

now there are only 2 manufacturers in the world making full-production I6 passenger cars: BMW and Ford

everyone else seems to have realized that you get better handling balance without 2 or 3 cylinders hanging forward of the front axle line

to the thread starter... have you read ANY of the threads in this section?? some of this shit has been confirmed for ages, thanks to people like justin (7tune.com)

and i read the whole article in wheels. 1) wheels=useless, 95% front cover holden, mag 2) they have on their front cover the INCORRECT power figure, nice work :spank: 3) In the contents pages, they call it a friggen Skyline GTR.

wheels=useless

the thing has OFFICIALLY been released, with full specs on the website and the god damn CEO himself giving the power figure, and they still get it wrong

idiots

i agree with the comments about it looking more like a 350Z. It's the front headlights. The skylines, Z's, and now GTR share VERY similar front end styling. That was the thing i hated the most about the 350Z when it first came out, but nissan seem to love that headlight design ;\

i agree with the above comment. it needs a squarer front end ;D

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
