2013 R35 Gt-R Unveiled

[rehab2010]

Seems like a whole heap of minor improvements for MY13.

Same power and torque but still managed to lap around Nurburgring in 7:18.7.

Engine builders plaque on the VR now.

still waiting for a facelift interior and exterior

The Japan Spec premium has Red leather combined with red pleather. I don't think I could seriously handle the whole seat being red, as well as the steering wheel..!

This interior looks pretty good.

I just read The Motor Report's take on the 2013 release. Seems power is uncnahged, yet they make mention of no tranny mods to fix the failures of the past... Disappointing really.

rehab apart from the steering wheel, that's how the interior in the adm 2009 and 2010 premium looked

for 2011/12 Nissan aus started importing the base model only to combat the rising yen while still selling the car for same price, with all black interior and grey roof lining

Wards I've seen pics of the full red, never been a fan of red interior, it feels a bit too 80s supercar. Would look so much better in a light grey. Mizuno says the red is to attract more female and elderly drivers lol

I'm hanging out for a proper facelift, new dash, new bumpers etc, think 996 to 997 which was still same car underneath. Rumour has that happening in 2014

^ this +1 - 100% agree. Might be worth the upgrade then

The red interior reminds me of a mate of mine with a white Lexus LFA. They come standard with all red interior. Looks very "meh" IMO. I prefer black with red highlights, or just plain black

1000cc injectors standard in the 2013 car too.

Will go a long way in aiding them make more power each year from here on in.

[domino_z]

Mmm white on white for my LFA please...

Any news if they have changed the turbos? Bigger injectors is fine, but the limiting factor will soon be the turbos. I still think the spec v turbos are in the future, after all they have already developed them

Nissan Japan has announced its changes to the 2014 (2013 JDM). The 2014 GTR is said to be the start of the 3rd generation GTR and while the exterior has not changed (the facelift looks to take place for next year's 2015 model) the GTR has evolved in 3 major ways. Firstly, in the suspension department the cars "roll center" has been lowered to give the 2014 GTR a more planted feel with less unnecessary movement while high speed driving. More body reinforcements have been added for 2014 aswell as new cam bolts to provide a better alignment to the front end. Next , while the peak power of 550PS and peak torque remains the same, internal changes such as new injectors have been made to allow mid range response and more torque between 4K-6K RPMs. This along with less drop off of turbo pressure is a factor in improved acceleration resulting in a one tenth improvement in 0-62 time of 2.7 (which should translate to an astonishing 2.6 sec 0-60 sprint.) Interior was the next thing that was improved. the JDM premium model GTR gets an optional fashionable "Amber Red" Interior that includes two-tone accents aswell as high grade hand sewn stitching . Other improvements include a craftsmanship badge added to the front of the engine and the option of NISMO Competition engine oil 2193E to coincide with last years switch to NISMO differential oil.

better start saving for that 2015 model

[AussieMark]

Any idea when the 2013 model is due to be launched out here?

[Hank Scorpio]

Yay for cams in the front end! Nobody likes mucking around with shims.

R35 has been around for a while now, doesn't need a facelift, needs and R36

I couldn't agree more. It's been around since 2008. That's 5 years now, so it's getting boring. That's what makes a R34 GT-R unique I guess. The fact it was only around from 1999-2002.

[domino_z]

high costs to comply with new japanese emissions killed the r34

i'm sure if nissan could have continued to get a return on their r&d investment, they would have

there's nothing wrong with the r35 platform, it just needs a cosmetic freshen up mainly, new front end, new rear bumper treatment, new headlights with integrated leds, new dash layout.....and spec v turbos!!

[rehab2010]

Nissan from the start stated that R35 will have 7 year life...so that would mean R36 being announced in late 2014 and sold from 2015.

[rehab2010]

Probably to align with Euro 6 emissions standard aswell which starts from Sept 2014. Would not be surprised to again see R36 sold in late 2014 in Japan only followed by rest of the world from 2015.
