I'm waiting for hardcore GTR ppls to defend it. I have always said, and ask? does it need those sort of acreage......

Prolly get flame for this. but those fotos just made me laughs.

Just remember I am a hardcore skyline fans, but the latest incarnation have got me lost for words... think Californification...

Umm last time I was standing next to an NSX I remember thinking how small they are...

Those pictures more brought home how far ahead the nissan is in terms of design than the NSX, gosh it's looking dated already. I suppose some may see that in a good way.

At the Melb Motorshow I had a good gawk at the GTR, it didn't look enormous. Although it gives the impression of being very very wide :D.

mmm....

IMO i dont think it even looks that big. I've seen a NSX before. But for some reason, i don't see the GT-R being much larger, but beside a R34, the 35 is huge. :S

both look good though.

good pic sewid, shows the modern car sizing!

Exactly, I've parked the V35 next to an R33 a few times and the size difference looks huge.

It's the way the modern cars are going I guess.

At the end of the day though, personally I think it gives the car more road presence and with the performance the R35 is putting out, who cares how big it is.

Look at the size of most supercars. They need a lane and a half when driving. The only difference is the R35 is taller.

Well said, size up an original evo to the evo X, or fot that matter, a first gen wrx to the latest abomination (I'm not doubting either's speed btw)

Nothing changes the fact that for better or worse, modern cars are getting bigger and heavier. Blame safety requirements, pedestrian impact laws etc...

Kinda wierd in this "enviromentally aware" age that cars are heading this way, but I think we have to live it up now, 'cause the writing is on the wall..........

It was designed from the outset to be an internationally sold car, that includes one of their largest markets the good 'ol USofA(ssholes) (I can say that, I used to live there) I think Nissan decided to make *some* provisions for people who aren't japanese.

They can only gripe about it's size and looks because it will absolutely demolish their lesser cars.

BTW: The new STi looks like ass

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
