Carsguide.com agrees with what was said there, including the bit on likely engine specs.

"Just what is under the bonnet or in the cabin remains a closely guarded secret but the smart money is on a 3.7-litre bi-turbo V6 punching out something in the range of 350kW, driving all four wheels through a seven-speed sequential gearbox."

Not sure how good a 7 speed sequential box will go down with long time GTR fans though. I know the BMW M5 fans went nuts when it was revealed the 7 speed sequential box (SMGIII) was the only choice for the E60 M5. But I guess some will hate it, some will love it. I just hope it comes with a 6 speed manual as an option.

interesting sideline on the quote:

"Launched in 1990, the original GT-R cost $110,000 and only 100 were imported. It was so powerful, it dominated Australian motor racing in the early 1990s (until the rules were changed to ban it from racing) and out-paced thoroughbred European cars. The GT-R's cult status has seen subsequent generations imported into Australia privately"

from what i've found, nissan struggled to sell the 32 gtr, and managed only 70 something sales of the 100 imported gtr's. sad huh?

another interesting aside - the guy who owns the original 'skaife/richards' gtr reckons he has to keep it behind glass because of the hatred for that car - even to this day V8 diehards are still spitting on it.

can anyone else here remember 'gentleman jim' saying 'you're all a pack or arseholes" ???

long live the pushron moron.

      ['96 r33 GTST] Need some help gauging how much I should pay for a CD009 transmission kit.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, well, being realistic: RB25DET gearbox (new, from Nissan), A$4k. Good clutch, >A$1k, possibly $2k. So, you're already into the ballpark just with those two things and to stay 5 speed. Someone has borne costs and done work to put the RB bellhousing on the CD009, and there's some other parts included. It seems like a reasonable price to me. It's not as if these things are lying around where you can just pick one up (the whole kit, readyish to go) and/or play off one vendor against another. So the pricing has to seem reasonable to both you and the seller.

      Front tower strut brace options

      But you can stand next to your strut brace with the bonnet up in the Bunnings car park and people can see it. Can't see dampers.

      Theskylineshed.shop

      Yeah, nah, nothing personal about it. It's a somewhat common pattern for phishing websites. I don't know if they actually take money, but at the very least they are collecting full name + address + credit card details from victims. It's minimum effort, so one can search for parts of the copy on the website and find others. For example there's gemnomads.com, which is a real jewellery business. But there's also a scam .shop version with the very same template that was used to duplicate theskylineshed.

      Yes. For sure. That way you just use the S arms and all is easy. For a streeter anyway.
