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

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
