just going by what mr engineer said.. i didnt look inside :cheers:

hmmm, well im going to sit on the fence on that one. A senior Japanese gearbox engineer told me there would be no manual but according to many the rumors are reported that it will. No point guessing. The proof is when i actually see it - likewise with the speed limiter.

just got back from another drive in the thing. It was wet tonight and there was plenty of traction loss. I really believe the tyres are losing traction because of the cars weight but meh, i could be wrong..

Its nice to have a mate who owns one though! :cheers:

That doesn't make sense.

Glad you had fun though!

lol, yeah Sewid, i dont understand it... i suppose it was because of the greasy shinjuku streets but taking off from the lights it was slipping and slipping - not clutch but traction, yeah? Strange.

But yes, anyways, a lot of fun none the less! It is a great car.

oh and as a side note, koichi is 6 foot 4. Tall bloke by japanese standards and his head was like, almost touching the roof. Again with his seat set the way he had it, there was only an inch or two between the back of the drivers seat and the passenger seat.

Im glad i dont have to sit in the back!

sounds like only thru nissan

*sigh. personal import will always be an option regardless of what nissan do or don't do. it is the low volume SEVS import method which has a question mark over it.

Nissan might try and pull the sit one in the show room and say it is sold or as for Mazda and the RX7 it had $150,000 price tag which no one would pay so DOTARS worked out what Mazda were up to and took approval off them which allowed RAWS approval for the post 9/99, Toyota and Mitsubishi also tried the same type of thing stopping SEVS import but DOTARS said they were not meeting the Full Volume requirements and took full volume approval off them.

If stocks of the R35 GTR are not in the show rooms around Australia and 6 to 12 month wait for more cars coming into the country or they go sorry all sold come back in 12 months that is not meeting the full volume requirements and they should be SEVS eligible.

its not gonna have a manual, because the box is in the rear end of the car.. theyre not gonna run a 2mtr long connector pipe thingy from the inside of the car, to the rear.. it'll become to clumsy, its bad enough on FWD cars let alone one with the box in the boot.

Plus a manual trans will shift too slow compared to what it has now :ninja:

That is not the reason they wont have a manual, plenty of other cars have had rear mounted manual transaxles.

Porsche did it... so have Alpha Romeo and a bunch of others... if not 90% of transaxles...

90% of transaxles?? the GTR is the first to have a rear mounted independant transaxle.. so plenty of other cars DONT have it because the GTR is the only car that has it atm.

btw.. porsche have the engine with the box in the rear end.. its a different type of transaxle altogether. theyre setup is like every other FWD car ever invented. as alfa and everyone ur thinkin of

The GT-R is in no way the first car to ever have a rear mounted independent transaxle. Do some homework before thinking you know everything geez. Plenty of other cars have and plenty of those have been manuals. If the yanks could do it back in the 90's with the C4 corvette im sure Nissan could figure it out if they cared to.

do some homework?? lol tell that to the whole world then. the gtr is the first to have independant rear transaxle.

Thats what they claim, and they wouldnt get it wrong :D

"The Nissan GT-R features a newly developed Premium Midship package, including the world's first independent transaxle 4WD developed independently by Nissan. "

i missed the 4wd part.. but its still the one and only going around

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      Compressor flow comparison table

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
