Here are the specs!

Engine: VQ32DETT V6 Twin-Turbo with DIRECT INJECTION! (in colaboration with Cosworth!!!)

Power: 480ps (352kw!) @ 7200rpm

Torque: 58kg/m @ 4800rpm (don't know the conversion...)

Turbos: No confirmation on the size, although it's probably a couple of T-28 sized units. Get this: They have incorporated a

motor-assisted spool-up!!! Yes, no lag here!!! The death of the Supercharger maybe...?

Body: Steel moncoque with an Aluminium Spaceframe. Hints of Audi here...

Drive: 4WD... not sure of the final desicion on the gearbox though.

Here are the Pics...

The whole concept of the new GT-R is based on this years JGTC GT-R: Quad-cam V6 Twin-Turbo with the Aluminium spaceframe etc. From what I can gather, they've gone for ultimate weight distribution, with an engine that surpasses the RB26DETT in EVERY way.

There are pics flying around on the 'net already wich pretty much look like the finished product, except theyve added a few more vents around the place, in front of the rear wheel arches etc.

More details to come...

Cosworth have been involved with Nissan engine development since the 80's, they had a hand with the CA18DET-R in the Bluebird SSS-R homologation rally car, and again with the SR20DET in the Pulsar GTi-R. Right now, Cosworth has the VQ32DETT GT-R engine on its testbench. Nissan has sent the parts to Cosworth, and they've assembled it, and are conducting all the initial testing.

The mob who I'm getting all this info from, INSIST that the engine is a direct conversion of the current Skyline JGTC engine (which incidently is a VQ30DETT). Add an extra 200cc to it for whatever reason... all this leads to the question: Is the JGTC Skyline running Motor-assisted Turbos? And Direct Injection? Thats one of the major reasons why the VQ32DETT can put out big power, yet being in accordance with the Euro 4/5 emmissions laws.

The Bodywork. All the pics so far have indicated a very "subdued" look, without any spoilers and wings and things. Well, as far as I know, it's the actual bodywork itself, coupled with underbody diffusers and the like, that will give the new GT-R excellent down force. Right now, all those pics off the web, and in the magazines are "close" to what the final GT-R will look like, but NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE. The front and rear end details are still in "Clay Model" stage, and nothing (as far as I know) has been decided on yet. All I know is that, there will be big bonnet vents, diffusers, and underbody aerodynamic aids.

The final GT-R pricing is estimated at around 8,000,000yen/car. Thats reasonable, if you take into account the engineering costs of the BNR32 GT-R, which topped out at around 10,500,000yen/car. And we all know Nissan lost alot of money making the R32 GT-R... hopefully they'll break even this time!

The R34 GT-R was late to show up, so the Japanese are expecting the same to happen here, and what they say is "early 2005".... shit. That could change though. (edit: Nissan Prez Carlos Ghosn put the new GT-R release date back to 2007 at the earliest... will let you know if this changes)

Disclaimer: All I'm reporting is what comes out here in Japan. Until know, I've seen or heard NOTHING about a possible V8 powered GT-R to be sold in the US. THATS NOT TO SAY THAT IT'S NOT TRUE!!! The Japanese won't be getting a V8 model (if there is one) so I guess that translates into bugger-all reporting of it here.

Subaru has been saying for a while that they have eliminated Turbo lag, but can't find anywhere how they've actually done that.

Those specs sound pretty promising, but personally i'm hanging out for an absolute bahnstormer of a V8TT :) starting to look like wishful think tho :(

where'd u get the info if u don't mind me asking?

cheers

Forget 480ps from the factory...

Is that Ayu in your avatar???

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
