R35GTR-the suspense is over?

[HellBent]

Guess-work! That's for ametuers!

This is full on 100% un-adultrated, dyed-in-the-wool speculation, based on hear-say, proponderance of rumors, careful weighing of half-truths, and scientific analysis of past trends. To call what I do guess-work is to call Leonardo Da Vinci merely an artisit! :smoker2:

"Right..., wrong..., all that matters is who's gettin' paid!"

Wasn't he that fellow who acted in Titanic?

I withdraw all my previous staments what was i thinking. We are all here world famous experts that know all about cars. I mean ius threre something we don't know. Nissanb should fire all their wanna be engineers and hire us to do the new skyline. That car would domina te all even KITT.


And yeah i'm pretty sure davinci was in Titanic:smoker2:

All I know is it's been designed here in the Uk at Nissans NTSE in Bedford and Lotus are helping out on the handling side, not that I thought it handled better than a Lotus anyway.

I knew a guy who was working on the prototypes styling but he couldn't tell me much about the technical side, which was a shame. I think there might be 2 high spec models one for the high performance luxury market and another for the "Die hard" skyline fans. I've seen the one for the luxury end and it has no resembalance to the R33 and R34. It looks like a big Mitsubushi Carsima. The GTR protoype looked bloody amazing though, lets just say you'd get out of its way if you saw it in your rear view mirror.

Initially Nissan was only going release the "luxury" version saying it needed to be a bit more mainstream but a few weeks after there was a press release saying there would be a "sportier" version for the enthusiasts just like the 2001 prototype. Lets hope!

Where is the newly thought out R35 GTR, I would love to see some pictures about this wonderful car coming out in 2005.
I would love to see the specs. of the the newly thought out R35 GTR. So,... this car will have a infiniti G35 coup. engine, WOW,.. that baby is thepretty sweet,.. I like that ; I like that a lot. <-- WOW face !!!

From Overboost.Com:

Nissan Motorsports (NISMO) now offers a "crate" VQ35 engine (350Z) that produces 450 horsepower.
Each crate engine is laboriously handcrafted in Nissan's Tokyo facility, and each part within this engine is available from Nissan dealers in Japan.
The VQ sports 13.5:1 compression and uses a Pectel T6 ECM for fuel and spark control. What kills us is that this thing uses stock cylinder head castings!
`````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````` now if thats what some of the z's will use imagine that in the gtr's in addition to AWD and turbos

[Neutrino]

That engine will not be turbocharged 13.5:1 compression if you turbocharge that you can get an engine reliability of about 10 min.....

Also that compresion will cause detonation on anything besides racing fuel which costs like 4$ a gallon. and is hard to find. That makes that engine a racing only aplication. The gtr engine will be most likely a TT set up with something like 8.5:1 compression wichs is fairly standard on turbocharged engines that are expected to be reliable.

you could just read that, in the jgtc section about the motor...

and there are pics of it too...

I found some more info on the 2005 GT-R

The story about Cosworth's and Lotus' involvements is really interesting. There are so much expectations on the new GTR. Really hope that it would deliver. The story about the electrically assisted turbos might be true as I had read somewhere that Garrett has been developing this technology for some time. Will the new GTR be the first mass production car to use this new technology? So many questions...so much expectations...but then again, we are awaiting the new GTR, right?

i would like to confirm that. i've read more than two years ago the new turbos with litlle electrical engines that will spool it up so 0 lag. And i've seen some references to that several times since then. I would be cool if the new gtr will have that tech.

I have already begun to save up!

This may be the wrong place to ask the following question, but here goes (I am trying to learn more about the Skyline/GTR):

What do all the letters mean in the following:

RB26DETT (are there other combinations of the letters B, N, R...?)
VQ33DETT

(I think I have figured out so far:
D = Dual overhead cam
E = Electronic engine control (ecm/pcm controls injectors & ignition)
T = Turbo (TT = turbo x 2)
26 = 2.6L
33 = 3.3L

Fix up the ones I got wrong....
)

Also, what does V-SPEC and V-SPEC-II mean or stand for....?

Thanks, appreciate it.

ok you pretty much got it.
RB and VQ are the engine series. RB being the older straight 6 design, VQ being the New v6.

D= dual overhead cams
E= EFI, Electronic Fuel injection
T= Turbo, TT= Twin turbo.

and yeah the numbers are the engine capacity.

V-spec and V-spec 2 are models/versions of the GT-R. I'm not sure what the actual differences are but, most of it is upgrades and add-ons that you don't get on the regular GT-R

[joecar]

darkness,

thanks for your reply;

also, what do the following Skyline terms mean: BNR34, BNR33, etc...

Thanks again.
