Will Nissan Introduction 6 Speed Manual In The New Gtr?


Recommended Posts

BMW has done it before with the V10 M5/M6 was initially offered with SMG only at the launch, then due to high demand from U.S. buyers that BMW released the 6 speed manual version 2 years later in 2007.

Does anyone have any new infomation regarding this?

Having driven both a SMG II (M5) and a DSG (VW GTI) I can tell you that BMW brought out the manuals, because their SMG II gearbox sucks.

The DSG is a great box in the GTI Golf, but the SMGII in the M5 was rubbish. I think Nissan would only bring a manual gearbox out for the "Evo" or maybe the V-Spec, more for reliable track work.

From what I have heard SMG II is a much improved gearbox over the orginal SMG and it has a faster gear change than the Ferrari 360 F1.

Eagerly awaiting news on the "track" versions then. Won't be long now.

Doubt it according to what funky has posted:

Munkey magic wasnt sure.

I am and i talked to a DSG engineer today..

there will NOT be a 6 speed in ANY GTR.

please see my thread.

If they are definately not going to go a 6 speed manual.. then is there possibilites there might be the 7 speed sequential that was talk about in the early days? Or should we definately cross out any chance of a manual type box going into the GTR?

it pays to read back some times

yeah i guess it does..

but i dont really know where abouts in my post i asked if we should definately cross out any chance of a 6 speed manual gearbox? m3gtr's post said there will NOT be a six speed.. But he didnt say there isnt gonna any type of manual box.. im just askin if there was maybe other possibilities in the future or just staying with wat they got!

nice try though :)

...if there isnt a 6 speed manual, then what will there be? A 7 speed? Think about the likelihood of that one.

I also said but you may have missed, is that there will NOT be a clutch pedal in the car.

That rules out a "manual" completely.

sorry if i didnt make that clear earlier.

ive been proven wrong countless times before, but i gave the info as i got it. And i gave it from a very reliable source first hand.

If it changes, for whatever reason, we will have to have this discussion again.

This isnt politics, Laurence, or is it?

It is always politics dude! If engineers ruled the world it would be a much more awesome place!

lol! how so? please indulge me..im all ears and eyes. i want to hear what you think about this!:rofl::)

am I the only one that wants my AWD to look like this now... I think pretty much all R32 to R34 GTR and GTS4 owners will agree that the shitty part about your car is the nose heavy feeling when trying to turn it.

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
