At least it looks as though it will have the GTR emblem on the wheel, not Nissan. (looks like there's a stopwatch and lap timer too, like the 350Z)

Does make you wonder why camo it then press the tape on so hard so you can see the outline!

Notice the progressive speed gauge. It starts off in 20 step increments then goes to 30 step

r33 v-spec · 9th July 2007, 07:21 PM

The speedo cluster looks mad IMO.

And yeh IanC, thats so funny!!

Congratulations Scott....

It seems you are mentioned in the current Best Car magazine and they quote some of your 'side window' interview with Carlos Tavares.

They also mention some other details (not sure how much is speculation) like the wheels being 20inch and made by Rays, 1.5 bar boost gauge etc.
Will try to translate the whole thing if I have time.

Fuggles · 10th July 2007, 10:33 AM

Excellent! Can you send a three/four copies over please? Post them to my address (think you have that) and I'll send on to Scott and keep one for th Club Library. Thank you

I bought some DVDs only yesterday and will be sending them out as soon as I can find a spare two minutes

With JAE only 10 days away it's just a teensy weensy bit manic right now!

Just noticed. "that video" has been viewed 20,000 times!

CJGTR · 10th July 2007, 12:28 PM

is that a shift light I see?

Fuggles · 10th July 2007, 12:41 PM

I suspect so, as the new 350Z has a shift light in exactly the same place

Mookistar · 10th July 2007, 12:54 PM

Oh dear, seems I might be the only one, but I think it looks a bit average......... thought they could have come up with something sooooo much better.......must just be me though as everyone else seems to love it.

Love the tech spec though if that helps !............

Peak power engine speed is 6800 rpm.

Nissan have a development target that 90% of the maximum power can be achieved at an engine speed 10% above the max power speed, i.e. approx 7500 rpm. - this is so the engine can be revved beyond pk power and then will fall back further up the speed range when changing gear. If you drive some cars (Audi are bad) with the soft rev cut just about the peak power engine speed you can find this a bit frustrating and may often hit the rev limit during aggressive driving.

Max continious engine speed is 7600 rpm, max intermittent 7800 rpm.

Titanium inlet valves are used to reduce the valve train mass, standard sodium filled exhaust valves with 6mm stems (so pretty small diameter for sodium filled valves!!!)

I dont like the look of the steering wheel buttons they could of made them look better
