and to say the 33 doesnt look like any skyline at all....its as close as you're gonna get (appearence wise) to an R34, without it being an R34

32 is more like a 33, just enlarged

31 (HR imports) and 34 put side by side have a lot of similar styling influences IMO.

Just some of the reade 1/4 lines and what now are very shaply

Ill say one thing I would by a 350z over it any day. I will treat is as a work in progress, it looks a lot better than the sketches so hopefully they will make the same headway with the actual production vehicle.

i reckon it will change over the next year

it is a concept and it will be heavily scrutinised by the public, journo's etc.

Loz

True.

The back looks unreal.

Would have been better if it had R34 style or similar headlights.

Looks great, with great potential.

Engine specs anyone?

yep, sadly i'm pretty sure the rb will not be seen after r34.

judging by the quad exhaust the new gtr will more than likely be V8 too...

Turbo v8 right?

Best of both worlds.....

Like most comments...I don't mind the overall look but that rear pillar will have to be worked on as the angles just look all wrong.

As for the engine the quads do suggest a V8 but I hope they stick with tradition and turbo it. Would also make it easy to sell in america by just removing the turb's...

while there's been plenty of talk about an 8 powering the new cars, i reckon we'll see a twin turb v6. nissan has poured plenty into their latest crop of v6's and, by all accounts, they aint too bad. one thing for sure, the inline 6 is dead *kicks and screams and flails about unhappily*

    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!
