From what I know, the benchmark for the next gen gtr is Porsche. I have heard Hiroshi Tamura has left the gtr project from tyndago@rbmotoring If i recall correctly. The gtr will be the first to break the 206kw agreement limit?

There will be four wheel drive, twin turbo and round lights for sure?

It will be available RHD as a nissan for japan, au, uk, and LHD as an infiniti for US?

It will come with a new version of attesa e-ts?

The new chassis is Fr-L for sure?

will carry an anti lag turbo system?

Will it show up at this year's geneva auto show, 2 months prior to TMS?

the new engine will change bacuase of strict emission standards in the US? Nissan has said to be taking long with this model because it will be a global car, and there is no global market without the US?

Carlos ghosn, has he provided any sales targets for the next gtr or will he at TMS this year?

Directly after the TMS, it is possible it will go on sale in 2006, before the expected year of 2007?

Would the GTR be in benefit for infiniti, i.e. boost its sport's car/luxury image? Worldwide sales will reached by 2007?

Will the scheduled release of the new V36 skyline be mentioned at this years TMS?

Will the gtr at TMS be a new concept of the gtr, or a pre-production model?

Is there a chance the one at TMS will be LHD like the concept?

Will there be different chassis codes for US and JP models?

Will there be a N/A and turbo model or just the turbo model?

Will nissan provide an offical title at this year's TMS?

What other things can we expect from the show?

I'll have a go at answering these... but bear in mind, I ONLY research Japanese articles and speak to Japanese people about this. If the info is of no concequence to the Japanese market, well then I don't really know anymore than you guys.

1) Yes, it'll definately break the old 206kw limit. Will beat Porsche Turbo output with less capacity.

2) Yes, 4WD, twin turbo (JGTC style) and four round lights. From what I know, Nissan is desperately trying to woo the traditioanlist GT-R buyer AND the new 'euro-car bandwagon jumper' (read: ex-Porsche buyers) so a better than Porsche GT car with four round lights = winner.

3) Yes, righthand drive for Japan (UK, AU) and lefthand drive for every other market that will support such a top line GT car from Nissan ie: US/Mainland Europe. Expect a huge marketing push in Germany of course.

4) No mention of a 'new version' of Atessa-ets as such, but the current 'E-4WD' system kind of works along the same lines as ATESSA anyway... even better IMO.

5) Yes, FR-L chassis for sure. Basically a rear wheel drive configuration (RWD transaxel), with power to the front wheels provided by electric motors... a true high performance hybrid system. Talk of a CVT transmission is still on the cards, although whether they can build one that can handle the expected output within a certain budget is questionable? Just what I've been told.

6) No. The electrically spooled turbo's don't need anti-lag... they're literally always producing positive (or +0) boost on off or part throttle depending on road speed, gear selected, braking... you name it, it's an amazing system. I pray they don't water this down to keep within budget...

7) No. I've only heard about the Tokyo Motor Show debut... showing the 2005 Prototype at Geneva will upset the Japanese enthusiast I think.

8) I think Nissans been taking this long because of their 'Total Inventory Overhaul by 2005' policy...

9) Ghosn will reveal all the important things (name, sales targets, markets, 'theme', 'motto' and anything else that they deem important at the TMS '05.

10) From what I know, the expected debut of the next GT-R has been pushed out to December 2007! These guys are playing around with Porsche I think... to foil any plans Porshe might make to try and upset Nissan. Anything is possible... I really hope it goes on sale in 2006, despite Ghosn saying the debut will be at TMS '07.

11) Whether the GT-R will benefit Infiniti is anyones guess. I personally think the GT-R is 'too tough' for Infiniti, and Porsche buyers will still buy Porsche (in the US).

12) I can't see worldwide sales by 2007 if the car is realeased in December 2007! lol But hey, who knows.

13) Yes, there should be 2006 V36 Skyline at TMS this year.

14) The 2005 GT-R concept is just that... a concept. Nissan got burnt 4 years ago and they won't let that happen again.

15) I will bet money that the GT-R Concept will be LHD... just to re-inforce (once again... ho hum) that the GT-R is a 'World Car'now.

16) I seriously doubt there'll be different chassis codes for US models, what would be the point? Unless they drop a V8 in!!! Hahaha ;)

17) As far as I know... there'll be only a turbo model. Remeber, this is going off info direct from Japan as opposed to some bandwagon jumping fanboy, so... yep.

18) Yes, an official title will be announced.

19) Other things from the show: next RX-7, next NSX, next Altezza, next Civic, next...

Yeah hopefully we'll see a big update in technology and hence greater output and even better performance. As we all know, the fundamentals of the latest R34 GTR, are almost exactly the same as the 89 release GTR 32. It's time for change.

Rezz have you seen the Best Motoring Skyline the GTR Prodigy??

The guys there go about trying to build a new skyline into the V35 housing with RB26DETT and Attesa 4WD but they were complaining about the weight being way too much and they really want more power.

Are you talking about the Zele International Z33 Pikes Peak car? Because that ain't a V35.

Im wondering what will happen with the name. It wont be shocking IMO if Carlos Ghosn calls the next gtr something different than v35gtr. What im really wondering is when Carlos Ghosn will mention it. As you all know, the event lasts from Oct 22 (Sat) to Nov 6 (Sun). So, is there a specific day in which nissan will be representing their cars, favorably the next gtr, or is it "just wait and see"?

No one has said for sure it will be called 'V35 GT-R' or even 'V36 GT-R'... or something else entirely. I know since 2003 I've been saying 'V35 GT-R', but as we get closer to the launch date it's becoming more clear. I think if you scan all the info on these forums it pretty much sums up the situation: it is almost 100% certain that the next GT-R *won't* be called 'R35', also too, the development of the next GT-R is starting to take on a whole different model approach (hence what I wrote above)... yes thats right, the next GT-R seems to be shaping up as it's own marque, the fact that Nissan have used V35 running gear for all it's test mules is misleading, I think the Next GT-R will have too many parts to differentiate itself from the rest of the Skyline lineup to warrant a *completely different* chassis code.

But I mean really, who cares about the chassis code? There was a time when EVERYBODY was saying 'R35 GT-R' and they just assumed that the GT-R lineage would just seamlessly continue from R34 to R35... this I think is wrong. From what I know now, the next GT-R will be a different model, able to transcend traditional maker stereotypes eg: no longer 'Nissan Skyline GT-R'. The fact that Infiniti will sell this car too means that the GT-R will forgo it's Skyline connections, although retaining styling cues and marketing strategies so as not to scare off the current GT-R owner.

It's a bit complex, and I just want to reiterate that Carlos Ghosn still has the ability to change the direction of the next GT-R depending how well the 2005 GT-R concept is recieved at the end of the year. I don't want to give away any more than that.

Very well said. Our only hope is that the new concept is in our favor, and Nissan implement's finer changes to the model, such as the mitsubishi eclipse concept, or RX-evolv to RX-8. I also think that we might see the model if Nissan thinks its time, or if the new concept is apt and ready, to start releasing production models sometime in 2006, maybe late 2006, as a 2007 model maybe. :boobs: :rofl:

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      Thanks, I removed the fuse and the relay from the car and made my own circuit with them to test them with a test bulb.  I will look for the wiring diagram and go from there.

      Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.

      Nismo Super Coppermix Twin and R33 GTR transmission replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
