New R35 GTR

[wezza95]

Hey Guys wats ur thoughts on the new R35 GTR Biased or not

GTR Stats:
* The engine designation is VR38DETT (Twin Turbocharged 3.8-liter V6) 60-degree vee angle and bore spacing with Nissan’s acclaimed VQ-Series, which is used in everything from the 350Z to several Infiniti SUVs. Few parts are shared between the two engine series.
* 7000 rpm redline
* The engine performance of the 3 trims is the same
* IHI turbos with integrated exhaust manifolds
* 10.2 psi (Car and Driver)
* 473 horsepower @ 6400 rpms
* 433 pound-feet of torque from 3200 to 5200 rpm.
* 20-inch wheels wrapped by Bridgestone Potenza RE070s, 255/40 in front and 285/35 rears.
* Front suspension was upper and lower A-arms and the rear was a five-link.
* Bilstein Damptronic shocks: 3 settings R, Sports and Comfort
* 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds
* 11.7 seconds in the quarter mile
* 192 mph top speed (Autoweek 193mph)
* 7:38:54 Nurburgring
* 0.99 lateral G
* Carbon fiber propshaft
* GR6 transmission -transaxle (The shifting is done via a direct, twin-clutch system. One clutch handles the odd gears and another clutch handles the even ones. Shifts take 0.2 seconds.) Aichi Kikai (Car and Driver)
* Below 25 mph the torque split is 50/50, above that, under normal driving, the split is 40/60. But it can split up to 2/98 under hard acceleration.
* Unlike versions of this system in other Nissan vehicles—the Infiniti G35x, for example—the GT-R setup employs a yaw sensor and is capable of instantly transferring torque from side to side, as well as fore-and-aft, as conditions dictate.

* Mostly flat undertray
* Front diffuser
* Rear carbon fiber diffuser
* Brembo Brakes

It's not bad for a Datsun.

[bezz]

There's a silver one that lives near my place.. some woman drives it and takes it to the supermarket.

Fair jaw dropping

[Pimpn1]

sounds good, but i dont really like the look

[wezza95]

yea look took a while to grow on me much the same as the VE Maloo i guess both hot cars imo

[minux]

Not a huge fan, but for the same price as a W427, it is a bloody brilliant car.

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

Looks good, but how full on would it be to do any work on the front of the engine:my:

[dbarnes]

I saw this thing at the start of the year and I didnt think I would even see one when they were supposed to be officially released in Australia... mouth dropped
We asked the guy for a ride but he said no don't blame him though lol.
But for what you get as a car for that price I think its bloody awesome.

yea stuff working on that engine

[Ozzie]

i'd own one!

probebly kill myself in it too

[wezza95]

haha tell me about it

[LightningVP]

i'd own one!

probebly kill myself in it too

damn tree hugger :P lol, I'd probably end up there too :|

[cpbait]

yeh awesome machine, there's a few videos of them on you tube, i saw one near my place bout a month ago, a white one with trade plates on it, looked horn as, not sure if gtr though, couldn't see any gtr badgeing on it, but i know it took of pritty quick.

[Torquen]

i want one!!! never liked skylines till now....hmm what bank to case for 150k??? decisions decisions

[nicko]

looks gay, pathetic torque output, but would go like the wind. Not worth the money imo

[minux]

Erm how is it not worth the money? The technology in this car far out trumps the W427 at the same price. The performance, out trumps the w427. The looks, out trump the w427. This machine is WELL WORTH every single dollar.

[nicko]

Oh its a nice car and all dont get me wrong. If i had money i wouldnt buy a W427 anyways lol. Just plenty of other cars id buy before that. Audi FTW!

[minux]

Not sure about the audi's, funny shape and all. I mean this GTR though with just a tune is ripping massive numbers on tracks and down the 1/4. It is one impressive piece of gear.

[nicko]

yeh very quick car no doubt. Just doesnt look good IMO. Audi RS6 Wagon *drool*

[Cursed CX8]

i love what this car is capable of, personally i would have expected a little more torque from an engine with those stats. 580nm from a twin turbo 6? more please
The only other thing that worries me is the 100 billion computers that make it work. I dont care if its japanese, my TV is japanese and it doesnt work. If they cant get that right what can go wrong with this car? Everything is electronic, the suspension, the diff, the steering. Isnt there something like 1000 sensory through the car telling its 4zillion computers whats happening? Is that really driving or is it a computer game?

I guess i just car too much about how it works and if it works rather than how it drives.

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

yea stuff working on that engine

haha drop a screw or nut down there say goodbye 4ever lol!!!

[pedrotski]

They say it can beat a Porche around n-ring, Porche bought one and couldn't get it within 10 seconds of the claimed time :P

Also the new LS9 Vette will go around n-ring faster anyway and its RWD.

So yeah, Its not that good of a car.

[Cursed CX8]

the vette has almost twice the power doesnt it?
For what the roots of the car are, it is said to be ****ing fast, handle like a razor scooter, and be as safe as a bean bag

[wezza95]

Erm how is it not worth the money? The technology in this car far out trumps the W427 at the same price. The performance, out trumps the w427. The looks, out trump the w427. This machine is WELL WORTH every single dollar.

+1 For That

Thats wat the V Spec is for around nearly 550hp instead of 480hp and 600NM of torque and a weight diffirence of 90kg's now that will be a weapon
