What a very silly thread.

If the pictures should be anywhere, they should be here.

Why the pretence of confidentiality when it's openly on display at a public event (and advertised as such)?

There are pictures of the Goodwood car all over the internet - I'm not going to pay to perform the GTROC secret handshake to see them when I can find more and better ones at the click of a mouse.

If Nissan didn't want the pictures there, I'm pretty certain they wouldn't have wheeled it out at one of the biggest car events on the calendar.

In all seriousness, if anything, our distress should be levvied at Nissan, not the GTROC.

Frankly, I'm pretty sick of it at the moment. I went to the largest Nissan dealership in the UK and had a discussion with their head of marketing. I told them who I represented and that I wanted to put a 'significant' amount of orders through them. They never returned my calls.

This is why I buy Porsches now as they do not give a damn really.

I mean FFS, who goes out at Goodwood with camouflage

[JapFreak786]

i SSSOOO want one of these!!!!!

[ISJ]

Absurd! Totally absurd.

If the GTROC had true "Scoop" pictures and details of interior, engine bay and pricing info, then fair enough about keeping the juicey bits for the magazine and not jepardising GTROC/Nissan Japan Relations.

But FFS holding back exterior shots of a car on public display is truely shocking. Those pics that have eventually been put up, are, frankly awful.

I'm off to join the masses searching others forums for decent pics, starting with the Zed forums!

My two cent to this brief public appearence:

Japanese press is guessing and pokering around the looks of the head lights, when on this public forum posted pictures you can see clearly, they aren`t round, oval or triangular . . .. like the japanese press is philosiphying about it.

This says just one big thing to me: Nissan has a big management-marketing problem, keeping the homeland press and clubs in the dark and at the same time , letting non japanese engineer teams driving the car on public events in the UK. . .absurd.

The GTR marketing and sales strategy will be the same way as all other Nissan products at the moment . . . .shit!
Like Cem said it about the UK dealer, giving a god damn shit about potential customers, the japanese will be very carefull before buying this car, regardless how great it will be . . . Toyota rules Japan and with this kind of marketing jokes, the conservative japaneses customers will be waiting for a Honda and Toyota equivalent probably . . . .

Regarding the club issue, discussed on here, I will be placing an order the first day , the new GTR will be availble, trough our Nissan agent here in Japan, as we have some customers for the new GTR. So before any new GTR will be shipped outside Japan, as a grey export, it will be standing in my garage door. Then we will know what it is all about. So keeping secrets in the UK is absurd , as the car will be out in japan probably , before any dump Nissan dealer in europe will know how to spell GTR!

I love the Gun Metal Gray color scheme. It really shoots out the profile. Definatly a nice looking GT-R, however in my opinion, it's still to forward thinking.

[BUG4LIFE]

I don't know what all the fuss is about - the pics don't show anything we haven't already seen.

Surely the new GTR was at Goodwood as a marketing tool, loads of potential new customers? All part of the build-up right...it's a good thing for Nissan that all these pics are appearing? I can't wait to see one with no covers on.

[stealth]

These covers on the car thing is beyond a joke now ffs ,it's not like the second coming of Christ ,it's just a car that looks pretty damn much like alot of other cars these days. Who do Nissan think they are kidding with all there hype ,over 2 years down the line and we all know sh1t about this car ,so no point in trying to order one over here as no spec or nothing about differant models ,price ,avalability etc blah blah .Bet most people working forNissan Uk have never heard of it anyway

[Hi5]

I think nissan have done very well to keep it under wraps thus far.

I also do not think it "looks pretty much like alot of other cars these days", I think Nissan have done a pretty good job with the styling!

[Chuck_H]

Can anyone that saw the car this weekend say if it had paddle shifters or not?

[Fuggles]

Okay so let me put the record straight on a few things. Firstly there is no attempt of 'cloak n dagger' and there is no desire by the GTROC or any of its members to keep information from forum users or Club members. Of the 200+ photographs we have some are on film and will need developing but overall they need to be sorted to discard the ones that aren't very good. All this takes time.

The car was at a public show and it is fully expectant that GTROC members and Forum users would and should have access to the photographs and this we are doing. That people have missed the point on the delay of photographs is testament to the level of interest and as a dedicated forum we would not want that enthusiasm to be lost nor would we want the GTR Register's pre-eminent position to be challenged and for that reason we are sorting the photos and have already posted up some.

The comments on my desire to keep information priveleged is completely unfounded and anyone that knows me would find the suggestion ridiculous. Thus far I have received several PMs and emails on the car as well as one phone call asking specific questions. Where possible I have answered these questions and will be happy to do so to anyone that is interested.

In conclusion there will be plenty more pictures and we are sorting through them and will add information on the car to coincide with the pictures. The GTR Register and GTROC is, without doubt, the pre-eminent Skyline/GTR community and, as such we will do whatever is acceptable to retain that position and continue to provide information and detailed information and photographs as best we can.

Thank you

Its all nice and stuff that people know things, but what difference does it make, majority of us have been waiting for this car since what? 2002, since the r34 was discontinued. What another few months gonna do anyway.

I for one will just wait till its released and enjoy it, no sense in this "i know something that you dont" stuff.

Eitherway, Lux is right, all they lucky people here that live in Japan are gonna get their hands on its real final specs and pictures etc, all before lots of us!

So Lux, when its time, make sure you let us know what it drives like mkay

Everyone needs to chilllll
