This is one sweet ride.. I'll dream about driving it tonight (:

my next car..................... guess i can salvage the twin gt2791r's for this.

i wonder how this will compare to a C6 Z06 in the straighline and aroun dthe track.

The vette's are fricking sweet looking. I wonder how many ppl in Japan own one.

i actually saw "a lot" of c5 vettes in japan (the c6 wasnt out yet). besides bmw's it was the most common imported car that i saw, at least from what i can remember.

Looks OK. More interested in performance though

*Drools*

It looks like something out of Transformers. HAHA...yea.

Goddaymn man, someone get me a towel ...

wow ...

Add another car to get on my list when I become rich. haha

that's the only 2 door i'd ever own. (and the one nissan will mass-produce)

man i gotta learn stick and get a job so i can drive that car

it's not stick....

how much is this thing going to weigh? seems like it's crammed with a bunch of techie gadgets and what not... but still a mean machine anyhow. man... when it comes, i don't want to imagine how much mark up dealers will charge, assuming there will be a very strong demand for it... (just like the ford gt500...)

nissan is producing same looking coupe every year.

that's their design for this generation....

Honda has the one look with the tsx, tl, si.

Mitsu has the new design for the lancer, evo.

Subaru has the hideous 3 nose design....

....it's just their current look. Changes every 5 or so years...


but as for the topic of this thread....omfg, that car is sex.

i really hope they dont use the horrible vq engine and stick with the rb. does anyone know how theyre making this car in japan? i heard japan has this law where none of their cars can have more than 300hp?? btw acura,lexus, and infiniti doesnt count as japanese since theyre more like american divisions.

i'm not even going to bother but you are wrong across the board

hahahah

Gentlemen's agreement, not law. And the VQ is not a horrible engine. Yes the RB-series is legendary but that doesn't mean the VQ suck. And I'm pretty sure the older generations of the Skyline were underrated from the factory anyways. lol. 280 bhp my butt.

DANG!!

beautiful...

makes me more sad about my current car.. haha..

i would bang that 10000 times XD haha

lol thats funy!! where on earth did u hear that from i have saw many supercars in japan and i am sure they are much more than 300hp

heard the base model and the Vspec II will be offered stick... however the EVO will be paddle shift.



you know nissan has been working on this car for over 8 years. the chassis is based off the v35c or the v37c.



what's so great about the RB? it's an old cast iron and long piece of mini cooper that makes gobs of power without reinforcing chassis dynamics. in 2001, nissan tested their NISMO r34 JGTC rwd car with a 3.3L vq33dett... guess what? car ran quicker numbers with a more compact design and aluminum block. i think they won one or two wins with that engine.

You know, majority of these posts I read say it's sexy and blah blah. From looking at the pictures, now I can voice my opinion. Not one single picture I looked at has the car been totally unveiled far as the front fascia. The body style is similar to that of the G35/37 and 350Z, which tells me Nissan has no creativity what so ever to distinguish the GT-R from other models. How can they match the bodystyle that of a GT-R to a 350Z? Hell, the R32/33/34 looked entirely different than that of the 300ZX. It's nice to see a fresh motor, but it's in the area of questionable for me. Looked at Honda and what they did: NSX, S2000, ITR, CTR all these models have different bodystyles with different motors. Is Nissan trying to make the engine more interchangeable like that of the B/K-series and EJ-series motors that Honda and Subaru did (respectively)? As usual, the GT-R is a heavy car. GT-R is over-rated in my opinion, that's all.

btw - Porsche has nothing to worry about, granted the GT-R is fast, but is it faster than Porsche flagship car the Carrera GT?

im thinking of important a R32 but i can wait untill November for the R33 to be able to get imported to canada... but i heard they are about to change the 15 years old rule to a 25 years old

its like the 350z and the g35 mixed together and got added a bigger ass

My friend sent me a link to this video.

Fifth Gear: Nissan GT-R
video: clickie

I'm still a bit disappointed about the way the front looks because it reminds me of the previous generation Eclipse, but everything else including the specs is what a Japanese musclecar should be. I love this car.

Here's 2 videos of a jdm R35 GT-R imported to SoCal by jspec connect.

1st vid is a look at the interior and exterior of the car
2nd vid is a ride along and a couple WOT pulls on the street.

i love this car and i AM GOING TO GET!!!

After chatting with another guy at a car meet, he got himself on the reserved list to waited on the arrival of the GT-R. According to the information I received from him is that the GT-R might have some problems getting into the U.S. due to emissions.

lol this car look like it come out from power rangers!

I never really watched Power Rangers but I don't recall seeing a badass awesome looking car like the GTR.
