Well i guess having an opinion isnt allowed anymore?

I didnt say your not allowed to like it and i said clearly in my post it was purely my opinion. Same as contempt said he likes the 350z, thats his personal choice. If he likes it. GREAT!.

Its what i like to call a diverse society, that is why we have people who love there commodore/falcon, riced up lancer. Because in there opinion its a good car.

Why do you think when you go to the pizza shop there is 25 different varietys of pizza and the option to customise one for your self? Because EVERYONE has different taste.

This thread is purely asking for an opinion. Like it love it or hate it.

Get overself, and go flex your ego elsewhere

What about specs????

A friend said he read in a mag, "The last spec sheet I saw from a Japanese magazine said that it had a 3.2 litre V6 with twin electric-spooling turbos making 480 hp, 7 speed getrag gearbox and the new e-4WD system."

Anyone know if that is true???

Whats with you Mr. Testosterone? No need to get agro.

I think it will take time to get used to. I think people are right when they say they dont want a "supercar" look. With what I bet will only be a VQ35DE motor.

I think now the Skyline has lost the RB motors for these new VQ jobs it will lose its once feared image. It was always the hero car from japan! The 2.something litre coupe with some turbos thrown on for more grunt... The kind of milk bottle motor that gets banned from racing with the V8's because its too fast.

This thing better be sporting a turbo or i'm not jumping on the band wagon.

VQ35DETT mate :angry:

The engine already has tuning potential out the arse. Then chuck a couple of snails on it... use your imagination.

Well i remeber reading about the gt500 350z's and they mentioned they were trialing a vq35dett in it which may end up in the gtr. Furthermore the gentlemens agreement of 206kw power cap has now been lifted opening up a whole new world of possiblilitys. Esp with the new WRX etc sporting 2.5lts etc. Its gunna need the balls to outclass

I've already seen what a TT does to the VQ35DE. 280 kw at the rears at 8psi. :(

APS released a TT kit for the Z about a year ago. I saw a video of a Z doing an 11.2 quarter on 91 octane fuel. This is a rear wheel drive car that struggles for traction off the line... imagine that power with awd for traction?

Here's Dino's blog if you haven't already seen it. Photos from the Tokyo Motor Show.

http://blog.gtroc.com/dino/

UK GT-R Forum with some photo-chops of the new PROTO in different colours and a set of Volks.

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/showpost...78&postcount=57

I reckon it's looking the goods personally. Different from previous but tough. I hope the motor lives up to the GT-R heritage.

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
