As the title says, Looks like the GTR is on the right path to become the best/fastest car to roll off the production line!

QUOTE 1. This car will never be sold in Australia so -> who cares. 2. Any company can make a car that goes fast - but the low rent interior of previous GT-R`s makes them junk. 3. This car is not in the same class as a Porche and never will be. got to like when idiots have access to the net will have to wait for the 997 GT2.

The word is that the V35GTRs will be available here within 2 years for the very cheap price of around $120k. I will DEFINITELY be grabbing one!!!

Like we had any doubts........... http://www.wheelsmag.com.au/News/New+GT-R+...e+showdown.html I doubt it. The new GTR will be a pig of a car weighing in at 1740kg, will only be available in automatic, and will come with run-flats as standard. The hyped up times for the GTR is similar to the previous sub 8 minute time..........i.e. they were never proven and they were never official times. |

how much for a roof on the ariel atom? is it roadworthy? Well.. it's not really a car - I just like stirring the pot. It's quicker than a Carrera GT and only just behind the Enzo on the Top Gear test track.. I don't think the new GTR could catch it on a smaller track, will have to wait and see. -------------------- "You Know, the Nissan Skyline may look like a rancid pork chop, but they've layered it with so much apple sauce.. it's now.. a playful and robustious ..

wow 1740kgs is a fair bit of weight! but it's understandable because even with the older gtr's they've had trouble keeping the weight down but they were jam packed with goodies! oh yeah i remember reading in some magazine it'll come with a 7 speed clutchless gearbox! well that's what i read

Well I have seen the spy video of a V36GTR (yes I think you are correct Turbz) absolutely hosing a turbo Porsche around the Nurburgring - so regardless of the weight they are going to be fast. Not sure about the 1,700kg+ thing - you would have thought they would make them lightweight components.
I applaud their decision to use a 7 speed tiptronic gearbox - would be even more excited if they used a modified/variable CVT system too - would be very interesting with the grunt of a VQ35DETT (or whatever they end up putting in them). I can't rave enough about my stock R34 tiptronic gearbox - it is unreal (and I save up to 1/2 a second on every gear change compared with a manual). I am sure the GTR semi-auto box will be significantly more high-tech and brilliant to drive. I know manual purists will slay me here - but that is my very firmly-held opinion. I will love my tiptronic box even more once I get Mike from MVs to rebuild it with kevlar goodies, modified high-stall and valve body upgrade in the near future. -------------------- ![]() LOL that's Andrew (Nightcrawler); bend over, and get ready to feel that ban stick :P http://nocleanfeed.com Want to earn some free cash just by browsing the net? click here |

actually the V36 is currently in production, and seeing as the new GTR is branching off the Skyline family, it'll have a totally seperate chassis designation.
in any case, its actually a GOOD thing for us aussies if they DON'T sell the GTR in australia. Why? Well lets put it this way... say Nissan Australia wants to sell the new GTR here for around $150,000. Nissan Japan wants to sell it over there for about $100,000. If its not sold in australia, we can import it. If we can import it, add luxury tax, GST and compliance and all that... and you'll save about $30,000 on it -------------------- < [email=shan+sau@moorthy.com.au]shan[/email] :: forum administrator :: team super fun happy sliders > |
