woah! im on my uni breaks from mechatronics eng and physics still haunts me here LOL.

please dont make me get my books out.

lets put it this way, cars are approx 20-30% efficient. And in the worlds of todays technology, its not how much power u have, its how u put the power down that moves the car. i think we all can agree on that. just remember this..... NISSAN have NEVER overrated their power figures in performance cars.

sure the car will get from 0-100 in 3.3 but its doesn't necessary mean it will last more than 10 launch.

almost of japan workshop have been delivered their gtr's just give them a week or so to break in the engines before serious thrashing can begins on the dyno's.

force and energy ARE different things. that's why they have different names!
Force is just energy doing something... everything is energy, you, me, the tree, the rock, everything, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

If an unstoppable force meets an immovable object then the universe explodes.

The wall does get hotter, the person gets tired. Energy is conserved.

from the well respected physics text, "Yuri the Guru's guide to the universe"?

Force is not Energy doing something. You've got it back to front. Energy (in physics) is a measure of Work done by an applied Force.

If an unstoppable force meets an immovable object then the universe explodes.

The wall does get hotter, the person gets tired. Energy is conserved.

who said anything about an unstoppable force? universe exploding? OK then...

energy is always conserved within or between systems. no argument there, but that's a different thing all together. Forces can be applied but do no Work with no Energy transferred, and that's what is happening. Force spent doing nothing = no Energy output. go lean against a wall for 5 minutes - you are applying a Force to it, but you won't get tired and the wall won't heat up from the force (ignoring the conduction of body heat - let's assume that the wall was at body temp beforehand). By leaning on the wall and imparting a Force, you've created a Potential Energy. you haven't transferred any Energy to the wall because you've done no Work on it.

GT-Rs were heavy enough as it was; in tighter corners their weight could really be felt and could prove to be quite tricky to handle in some situations (mainly in a series of tight corners where the weight of the car is shifting from one side to the other and/or front to rear; and also when entering a corner hard under breaks, the front would could push wide because of the weight).

Even though Nissan seem to have engineered the car very well, imagine how much faster it would be had they kept the weight down.

Bear in mind that Nissan have dumped their inline 6's. They are poorly balanced (weight-wise) compared the the VQ & VR engines and that's why they just want to understeer all day through tight bends.

Look at some of the JGTC examples: the GT500 Supra using an inline 4, or the R34 GTR with a VQ rather than an RB. At speed the more even weight distribution speaks for itself performance-wise. Look at the damn R35 gearbox. It's under the boot!

That said, the R35 is a bit of a fat sh!t.

yep the new engine, all alloy block , but without cylinder liners!! instead a o.15 plasma sprayed bore which they must be concerned about & want to keep an eye on i would say.

i will almost guarantee that one of the first rebuild mods will be to put liners in the bores. mind you it will effect weight balance by a few kilograms (but then again so do i)

I'm saying trim the weight back 100Kg or so and you guys are reading build a stripped out racecar the size of a lotus elise. :)

Are previous GTR's too uncomfortable and compromised? They weigh considerably less than the R35; yet i don't hear many complain about their structural integrity or the interior space. Nissan could have easily kept the weight of the car down; the only reason i can see for them to avoid doing this is cost since lighter weight and higher strength material would cost more. Bear in mind the new engine is probably a lot lighter than the RB series and i'm guessing most of the components in the driveline are also lighter and stronger. Which brings me back to my original question, where has the extra weight come from?

Supple leather

How the F&% do u guys no this kinda s$#%?!?!?! F%$# me... goddamn physics and energy and universes exploding and shit.. its just a car, a car that was never intended to be driven by any of you its a cruiser. The only reason its fast is for cred, so that people will want it, desire it. The only reason it carries the GT-R badge is for the same reason, desireability and credibilty. Its all marketing, Carlos Ghosn is a genious and he is in the progress of turning nissan around from bankruptcy. The name is just a name, this is not the GT-R of old, its simply not, it carries different design philosiphies. Its fat cus the target audience nissan has aimed the car at wants it to be like that. They want the comfort, hey want the awesome sound system and the sat nav and the heated seats and all that shit.

Excuse my spelling i never finished high school.

no such thing as an R35

you might be talking about the V35 ?

ummmmm okkaaay. there was this small car release recently. you may have heard of it. something like Nissan R35 GTR?!?

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?

      My thermostat had no gasket?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
