F-ugly!

tokyogtr · 18th September 2008, 08:57 PM

definitely looks like the v-spec and looks like they've gone with the nismo exhaust etc. check out those ceramic brakes on display again. and the brake cooling intakes on the front skirt.

Hope they're not gonna ship it with the exhaust pipe in this form. It's so ugly!

TrickyB · 19th September 2008, 06:53 AM

Saw this car at the ring on tuesday
wish i had got a closer look now

Can see the Euro / UK spec fog light in the mesh as well. Does not look all that bad IMO.

Whats the liklihood of it melting from the exhaust heat !!

SuzaFan · 19th September 2008, 11:30 AM

NO WAY!!!
You're telling me that this is gonna be the Euro spec with that HORRIBLE fog light in that really nice diffuser!!!
OMG...no no no

Jadid · 19th September 2008, 11:46 AM

Last i heard that was the plan - at the ring event there were ideas of doing something clever with the rear light cluster but this seemed to be the favoured direction at that time. Hope they can manage to integrate into lights - but would prefer this to some awful stick on jobby on the rear bumper.

GT-Racer · 19th September 2008, 11:50 AM

It's going to be extra lights behind a mesh.

Nissan are due to sign off the UK spec tomorrow. The test team have been at Nurburgring all week to test various other models also (including V-Spec).

Nissan - if you are reading. Those tail pipes are UGLY!

Rich-GT · 19th September 2008, 12:04 PM

The fog light I can live with, but someone please tell me we are not going to see those tailpipes in the UK?

Someone mentioned different exhaust ends on the euro spec models, wonder if this is for the stock euro cars? Hope it sounds better as well...

I mentioned different exhaust ends in another thread after speaking to who I think was the Europe product chief for the GTR. But he also said that it was a very small change and it would barely be noticable if I remember correctly. It was just the end pipes so the noise level would be the same.

So hopefully nothing like the Nismo item.

SuzaFan · 19th September 2008, 02:25 PM

Hey,how can they do something like that??
When I payed the deposit for my car, I thought I had just ordered the car I could have seen on the official gallery on the official site...
What are they doing?? They sell me one car and now they are making a monster of it...
I hope those are v spec exhaust pipes...HORRIBLE!!
And I hope that fog light is just some testing...

tokyogtr · 19th September 2008, 11:42 PM

this is not the standard euro spec car though guys... it's the spec-v car... the standard car won't come with ceramic brakes...

A bunch of us saw these at the Ring this week. On Thursday early evening (18:00-19:30) the rumour was out that track coniditions were perfect ans that the V-Spec was going for the lap record and we viewed this at Tiergarten.

Two cars went out about 4 mins apart and duly blatted round. Seeing a GT-R (briefly!) doing near 200mph is good fun to watch.

Exhaust note was still fairly undramatic though.

I guess no record was broken.The new NSX sounds glorious, you can hear it a full minute before you see it !

Good stuff.
