06 Goes V8

[Rezz]

I thought the V8 version was for the American Market and possibly the Australian market. But there was still going to be a twin turbo? Rezz........

Ok, the "V8 for the US market GT-R" rumour has been going around for aaaaaages now... and guess what? STILL no development of a V8 for ANY V35 platform.

I say that again: STILL no DEVELOPMENT for a V8 in ANY Skyline, be it GT-R, Stagea, sedan... what this basically means, is that Nissan are 2 years out from the release of the GT-R, and still no development of a V8. Is that enough for you guys?

The only information that has been leaked about the new GT-R development has been already posted here on SAU. This info revolves around a 3.0/3.2 V6 twin turbo, and the "e-4WD" system that'll replace the ageing ATESSA ET-S system.

I stress that the new GT-R will be ABSOLUTELY stunning in the technological side of things.

dont forget the electonricly spooled turbos and claimed 480bhp

RB26_S15: Pull your thumb out mate and post up a scan of the article pretty please???

I guarantee I can refute ANYTHING written up in that Speed article. Speed are going for maximum sales by printing BULLSHIT.

Ok, i shall 'borrow' my mag back off my friend

Ok V8 soarers? V8 Cima's, Q45's? VH41DE, VH45DE, VK56DE... need i go on?

Japs have built better V8's than yanks have for many a year.

Ohhhhhhh Yeh LOL what was i thinking....

Its not going to be V8. ill put some money on this one. Speed magazine seem to publish alot of hyped up crap. i think they were talking about how nissan is releasing a V8 four door family car probably an infinity or something. how many times do you read speed magazine and think "these guys are talking shit!"

Nissan have put way too much development into the 3.5 V6 we see in the 350Z. it has also been released by nissan, that they have been testing heaps of turbo set ups on the engine too. i even remember reading in HPI or Zoom some time ago, of garrett japan doing the turbo set up in their V35 skyline coupe. with amazing results. they used a fairly small turbo set, but produced huge mid range and very impressive top end, and as it turned out... it was Nissan who requested and payed for all the turbo development for the 3.5L

the V8 thing is just to stir up everyone.

consider all the new N/A engines the japanese have designed lately... all of them make more power than the 5.7L V8 motors we see produced here or in the US. the japanese love their light weight all alloy 6cyl engines and get a ton of power out of them.

my money is on a twin turbo 3.5l V6. and i bet it will be pretty impressive. why would they need to completely develope a new V8 when they have a very potent V6?? it wouldnt be economically viable for them...

thats my ten cents anyway

just to put a little more light on this title of this thread, if your reffering to "SPEED" #013 the artical is in refference to the racing history of the gt-r in the "BNR-series" and they ref to the future of the GT-R being powered by the "VQ-30DETT"

P.S. ? what base engine has powered the last passenger/sports cars NISSAN has released in OZ? hint ("i'll have a burger and fries thanks") tv add...

RB26_S15: Don't get me wrong mate, I'm not gonna "shoot the messenger" so to speak, but that article you scanned is the biggest piece of horse shit I've seen printed in an Aussie mag for awhile...

BELOW is EXACTLY THE SAME article as printed in Horide Auto last month, except where Speed Magazine has decievingly put "Skyline", the Infiniti M45 is in actual fact THE NEXT CEDRIC/GLORIA and that the car is going to be sold in Japan as a 2.5 or 3.5L V6, NOT as a V8 like Speed wrongly says. Add to that the fact that the M45 will be called the FUGA in Japan (and probably everywhere else...

See in BIG letters the name Fuga? Thats what the next Cedric/Gloria is getting it's name changed to.

Speed Magazine... how could they get it sooooo wrong???

Guys, in future, please run ANYTHING about the new Skyline (be it GT-R or otherwise) past me first, and I'll iron out all the potential bullshit.

Cheers lads, (thanks for the scan RB26_S15 )

Thats false advertising!

My confidence in the truthfulness of speed magazines journalism just dissapeared

RB26_S15, Firstly there was no mention of a GT-R in that article so how could you say the GT-R will have a V8 and secondly nobody knows more about the Skyline scene then Rezz...

Justin, LOL...I'd becareful...Speed could be taking all your post and printing them word for word soon .

Now for the article, how could they get it so wrong. I have a mate who is a part time writer for them and he knows the scene pretty well in Japan. How could they publish something so off topic, unless they think no one in Aust follows the global motor shows. The FUGA has always been said to be the replacement for the Cedric/Gloria, where did the Skyline story come from! Even if nobody picked that up, the M45 name gives it away again as the replacement for the Infiniti M45 in the States which again is not a Skyline.

There seems to be a large gap between posts...

Not sure all this V8 talk is still relevant.

[scathing]

That said, if you have a listen to the GT-R Testing at Nurburgring video...that engine doesn't sound FI. There's no flutter. There's no sneezing. There's no induction sucking noise, or anything you get from a turbo car that isn't OEM polished.

However, it does sound like the current crop of high revving Euro V8s. The noise its making on throttle reminds me of the Audi RS4, previous BMW M5, etc....

[sh@un]

the suspense is killing me

[fEkuaR]

the reason it would suk is cause in case u didnt realize...there is kinda a war between V8's an turbo's .....thats y it would suk bigtime cause i hate v8's despite how much potential power they do hold....... neway....GO TURBO....down with the v8's

lol a turbo isnt an engine its a means of forced induction ... your saying the war is between small capacity straight 6's and 4cyl engines and v8 power plants... And any car enthusiest would say what your trying to say there is a complete load of uneducated shit lol.

The possibilities of forced induction with larger capacity engines is great imagine the torque you would have as soon as you put your foot down with a turbo charged v8. We arent talking about a 1980 308 or 253 out of your mums first commodore here.

If I had to buy a family car, but could afford to buy anything with 4 doors, it would be an Audi RS6 Avant. What's better than a V8 or a turbomotor? A twin turbo V8, baby.
