skyline^master: I agree that it looks more modern, and I am happy for nissan to lose its 'datsun' look, but I dont think the new GTR looks muscular enough. Take one look at the new Ford GT40.. thats a modern looking muscle car. Giving the GTR more styling finesse is definately going to appeal to more people, but I love the GTRs "Jap Muscle Car" look. I just hope they give it more guts in the styling department..

Its obvious that the new Nissan are trying to make the GTR LOOK like every other "super car" out there, and go up against Porsche. This to me indicates that we will probably be paying closer to porsche money, I predict the new GTR is going to be priced quite a lot closer towards the $200,000 mark.

Hrmm interesting one here...The front end COULD grow on me, at least it looks semi interesting but that rear end??? U G L Y ! ! ! ! Like has been said though, at least they are going back to the round tail lights, its a skyline signature! With that rear end though, definatly needs a rear wing just to balance it all out....

Mechanical specs on the car are yummy, is that definatly what the car will come out with????

Rezz - Romour was that Nissan japan didn't want the V6 twin turb's name being soured by the Americans becuase as we all know they are hopeless with difficult tasks like changing oil....

Were not all that bad :) I don't mind changing my own oil at all.

and rezz: the only people who think like that are the rednecks, alot of us prefer japanese cars to the crap they build over here but its the loud ignorant ones that get all of the attention...

I just stumbled upon this thread from another Nissan forum and must say that I hope this ugly design isn't what Nissan has in mind for the new GT-R. It figures that as my luck would have it, when they finally do get around to releasing the GT-R in the US, they give us an ugly possible design.

I really hope that it's only mere rumor that they plan to be a V-8 engine in the US model. Then again, who knows with Nissan in the US. After all, most NIssan models in the US don't even keep the names that the rest in the world know them as.

If I ever do wind up being able to afford a Skyline GT-R, it will definitely be an imported late-90s model.

I really hope thats not the next GT-R, the front end is different but id rather the 2001 Concept if we all remember that, it would go well with them power figures, just my opinion. :P

Also, very good information Rezz thanks for posting.

OK that was a bit of a generalisation :mad:

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
