Oi SPEED!!!

SHOW US THE R+D PICS OF THE 'V8' FOR THE NEXT GT-R!!!

NO DICE???

DIDN'T THINK SO :thumbsup::P:p

I wish those knobs would stop perpetuating bullsh*t.

And I CANNOT BELIEVE they printed those ancient 'GT-Ah' Photochops... scraping the bottom of the barrel are we?

I have no respect for that rag.

Btw, HOW RIGHT WAS I??? They printed regurgitated info from my posts about the e-4WD and the electric spooled up turbos!!! Hahahaha ;)

Remember... you saw it in Speed... last!

Actually, I have been searching around and have found this new article highlighting the next GT-R which was just published the other day. Contains a very new photograph which I don't think I have seen before. Notice the agressive coupe styling of the rear, and the low coefficient of drag.

It says that apparently Nissan has had to work with a tight budget on the GT-R with the tight hand of Carlos Ghosn, so have unfortunately had to make some sacrifices along the way to meet fiscal targets. Personally, I think its a rather controversial move...

Oh. My. God. Bwahahahahahaha!!! :D Funniest thing I've seen all week... geez it's only Tuesday

oh my god... the first paragaph's a riot... lets paraphrase...

"its made by some dude in germany... he dosen't have any official links to nissan... but it looks so cool and its a photochop of all the popular ideas put together (including the 350z interior in the car)... so he must work for nissan... therefore its the next GTR"

People will publish anything for a quick buck these days.

Skylines aside, I think SPEED's journalistic integrity can be summed up on the last page of it's current issue. They go into a full rant bagging the old exa turbo, and have a picture of the NA CA18 EXA to a go a long with the article.

Not surprised though, learning to expect nothing less from this great publication

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
