Check it out, this article taken from Performance Forums... (thanks Troy, the man in Itami for this one!)

Theres nothing really new to said here, although you can see from what Ghosn says, he's got a stranglehold of the GT-R development program, and it seems as though Ghosn wants to have his name printed somewhere on the bootlid maybe...

Ghosn's not the most popular guy in Japan now is he?!?! lol...

"The man who canned Godzilla" was one story I read when he innitially said that there was no place for a straight-6 AWD supercar in todays market.

Bastard!

Im a little confused, The article was pretty much about the "new" 400bhp "GTR" launch in the US by 2007 (probably 2008),

But there is no mention of it's launch in Japan will it not be released there or will it be released there earlier.

Hopefully the New GTR wont be like the 350z which was designed and built in America and is running a renault engine, has 0 japanese in it!

Renault looks like they are killing all the good things nissan japan have done in the last 10 years

so are they still making the R34's till 2007 ? or have they stoped production ?

I pretty sure they stopped a making them a year or two ago along with the S15. The last R34's made were the Nur spec GTR's. They didnt meet the new emission laws that were introduced into Japan or something like that.

Anyone else confirm this??

Cheers

The crap about the Rb26dett and Sr20det not being able to meet the new emission laws is total crap. If Holden and GM can make their pushrod petrol buring dinosaur engines meet the new emission laws then so could nissan easily.

Its all comes down to Nissan being owned by renault and the main bosses at renault not wanting anymore inline 6 or 4 cyclinder turbos in production.

Thats true and not true

Toyota isnt owned by Renault and they are not making 1JZ / 2JZ any more. Japans emissions laws became alot tougher in 2002.

sorry to go off topic but, can someone explain to me why the GTR model is an R35 whereas the non GTR models are V35s ? All previous non GTRs are still r3#s.

because the new skylines are powered by the vq series engine. hence v35

rb engines in the previous models made them r3- (asides from r30)

next gtr will be kept r35 to keep the tradition ive been led to believe.

NEEEEEXT!? Ah, hi there rrrage...:(

Could I answer your question with a question?:(

Ah-hem...:) Who said the Next GT-R is designated "R35"?

Fffffffwhat I think you'll find is that the new GT-R will pipple-o-popple-lopously be based on the "V"35 platform... without question. It WILL be a "xx-V35 GT-R".

All this "R35" business is sprouting from pre-2001 Tokyo Motor Show rumours about the current Skyline... even some Japanese guys were saying "R35". But now they've all changed their tune.

Right... NEEEEEEXT!:( j/k

:( thankya. you'll notice that i edited the post, then changed my mind and left it. I was going to add "edit: is the new GTR even an r35 or am i just being influenced by non-official people calling it that?"

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
