Not really anything groundbreaking here, but I just wanted to keep you guys up to date with any new GT-R info that comes out in ... errr... Japan.

Basically, the article just goes on about the development of a CVT transmission that can handle big power, to be mated to a 4WD system (which they didn't go into detail about, or directly refer to it as an "ATESSA" system), but just made parallels between it and the e-4WD as seen on the current Japanese market Nissan March. The e-4WD system on the March is like ATESSA (like on an N14 GTi-R for example), but theres no driveshaft to the rear wheels, just wires to a traction sensing computer, then to an electric motor which supplies power to the rear. This is probably what the new GT-R will use instead of the old ATESSA set up...

They also report about the "EFFIS" Hybrid power system, how it will use lithium batteries under the floor to supply power to the front wheels (on a GT-R application) and that the whole system is a beefed up version putting out "big power"... nice... I guess.

***EDIT***

Just looking back at the article, they say the power tranfer to the front wheels is via a switch and a generator, just like what the Toyota Prius uses. So you won't have to go recharging batteries...

At this point my Japanese ability went downhill quickly, there were quite a few words I didn't know (but got the gist of the meaning from the kanji). So don't go quoting me on that EFFIS Hybrid stuff.

As afr as the pic is concerned, I do like the illustration they did with the new GT-R, the rear panel and taillights do have a strong resemblence to the old skool "Ken-meri" KPCG110 GT-R:

Nice.

Oh, and heres a pic of the new RX-7, which they say will be a RENESIS 3-rotor 400ps lightweight "Compact Body" supercar...

I won't go into details, I'll let someone who's down with Mazda a bit more to explain.

does this mean the engine will only power the front wheels?
No man, read it again :D. They used the Nissan March e-4WD as an example. Of course the new GT-R is RWD until the front wheels break (or almost break) traction, then the electric motor kicks in to drive the front wheels. So, the "concept" is the same as ATESSA, just not directly linked by way of a drive shaft. Think of the e-4WD as a "power-by-wire" set up...
"lithium batteries + GTR" sorry I'm not familiar with that term...
heheheh, looks like you'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century Dan... :D

Lithium_the future. :)

Nooooo not again. I spent all of 2003 searching up the "latest" on the Next GTR. I hassled the Nissan Au head office & the Melbourne dealership that much they banned me from anything nissan :D

I'm put off anything that combines these two words "Ghosn, Nissan". As far as I'm concerned after his words of wisdom QUOTE "2007"...."Ghosn" can stick his new gtr in between his renault, his porsche & his croissant :upurs:.

PS: Have you received my email ?

Ha, why didn't I think of that? [sarcasm] They've got ALL the answers...[/sarcasm]:D

Justin: did you read this months best motoring, I briefly flicked through it and Toyota is onto a similar concept with a future sports car (didn't take much notice of the name/model) with hybrid fuel cell technology. All seem to be heading that way, well Japan is leading and pioneering this field at the moment. MMC released details in Jan and the Detroit Motor show of the new Concept Eclipse with 4WD (Front:Engine + Motor, Rear:Motor). The hybrid system with Li-ion batteries makes a combine power of 470ps, as MMC quoted "an ideal balance between driving and environmental performance as it delivers breath-taking acceleration while returning low fuel consumption and low emission levels".

As you said this is the future...

Oh 400ps is pretty much what everyone is expecting now same deal with the next RX-7. Like many by 2007, I rather be in a nice luxury euro cruiser, me old fart then.

Troy: Didn't get this months Best Motoring, but I flicked through Horide Auto and Goo Cars and saw some of the Toyota Hybrid power systems to be used for sportscars. But yeah, awesome acceleration is one of the strong points they went on about.

Will be interesting to see electric motors in the front wheels, I remember this was suggested *very* early in the development cycle.

But, how the hell will power ups affect that sort of system? All the extra power goes to the rear wheels while the fronts are stuck with whatever the lectic motors give em.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
