The car will be displayed as the final, production-ready car. That was announced by Nissan International in May. Remember that this is Nissan's primo vehicle, to be sold in every western market there is. Goshn said it will be in every country Mitsu sells Evos and Subi sells STis. Out here, Leon Daphne wants the car bad, but it's unclear whether we will get the Yank V8 or Jap/Euro V6.

When is a prototype not a prototype? When it's the very first "buyable" car!!!

Stop sweating me Sonic. If you want go and and make another GT-R thread that subtley contradicts everything that I've posted here, then go ahead.

I think a lot of you are going to be very very impressed with the new skyline, i have pics of it in a mag that were released. They have changed the look from the concept pics alot and have made the front a little more subtle which really looks unreal... don't want to spoil what it looks like but its awesome!!

P.s. I thought i'd also add to the V8 debate that they did actually have plans to use a de-tune version of the V8 twin turbo from the LM GT1 nissan Le Mans car in the GTR, until the new laws were passed regarding emissions in japan about 18 months ago... so i guess it really would have been a supercar :D

Sweating you? Hmm, rightio mate. You've swallowed a healthy dose of "GT-R Hype" and instead of wasting my time anymore, I think i'll let you sit back and get very disappointed instead when October rolls around

I didn't ask you to read this thread. So your wasting your own time, not me.

"GT-R Hype"??? What, you mean as opposed to your "GT-R Hype"???

All your info origionates from where? What, JAPAN? Hey, that just happens to be where I've been living for the last 3 1/2 years!

I'm conveying what comes out HERE, in Japan. Not from anywhere else, be it Europe or the US.

rezz mate dont let him get to you. id put money on the V8 being a no show...

im assuming you can read and understand japanese when i say

and if you cant....

hurry up and put the photos up! everyone is waiting!!! :D:)

i read earlier in the year the subaru have developed a new system for their turbo WRC rally cars which gives them almost full boost from idle. and the source didn't know how it was done. they also said it made a sort of whistling sound. any ideas if it is like the nissan sys tem described here?

Guest Low-Ki

if i may add just one thing, 400r was the best skyline ever built, it had the lloks and the power and the most exclusive rights to ownership,

but i wouldmind the new motor in an older skyline, the new shape just doesn't do anything for me, the r33 has the fattest shape ever and i dont think anything will ever surpass that.

If nissan were to put a V8 into a GTr, they would have only 2 choices.

Either use an infinity Q45 4.5L V8 or use a de-tuned R390 LM engine 3.9V8-TT, which uses a magnesium block.

Keep in mind that Nissan are still trying to get out of the hole they got themselves into in the 90's, they cannot afford to devote one special engine for one car alone, but modify an existing engine. A V6TT is the best choice, in my opinion.

Notice how they like to use the their new V6 from the 350z. they use that in the G35 sedans and coupes at the moment, and also in 4wds and anything else they can cram it into.

That current pic floating around in one of the current issue aussie magazines, is a picture from the internet, and is a photochop, ive had that pic on my HDD from months. Remember, they WILL change the design of the car all the way up to the last minute.

The 350z was change in the final months before its release. Its relase date (in the US) was known before the final design. Though those final changes were small, there were still changes made.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
