New Skyline GTR spotted testing at the Ring

Looks fucking gorgeous.
Cant wait to see the specs on weight etc
I assume its a V6 like the 350z not an RB26 this time?
(based on how soon the bonnet turns down at the front, and the amount of clearance required by law for the bonnet relative to the engine for when people headbutt it)

Personally i would sooner have a V6 anyway than a nasty heavy old iron block straight six that sits too much weight too far forward.
Dont get me wrong, i'm aware what a tuning legend the RB26 motor is, but still i think its time to move on and providing the V6 block is strong and the head is similarly well designed, im sure stupid power will be got from this one too anyway!

V6 is ok, but not a patch on the RB26. Its not a mega heavy block anyhow TBH.
How long till someone with super blinkers come on and claims theyd rather have their RS Turbo and its more fun too, torquesteer man, awesome

What compression ratio is it? Is it twin turbo?
If its 12:1 N/A the GTR owners will all consider it ripe for a GT42R transplant on standard internals no doubt

Anyone who says otherwise is stuck in the past
And no need to explain why either, never ever

obviously, im a dreamer, if you live in the real world and dont have the ability to explain your actions, it makes your car invulnrable to det.
if you believe it, its will happen.
emporers new clothes and all that.

Saw this on pistonheads earlier today, not particularly keen on it tbh!
They said it's meant to hit 60mph in under 4sec and romp on to 180mph though!

And even if they do claim 280, it wont be, the R34GTR was around 330 for example.

dont think they have scrapped it as such, just was always a general "agreement" that you could ignore if you wanted to with to bad effects, and in this day n age they realise 280bhp limit is a bit silly.

Not a Skyline anymore, just branded GT-R. It will have around 420 bhp (but needs more), they no longer bother with the 276 bhp agreement.
Twin turbo VQ35 apparently.

Chip a stright 6 will always be a better engine than a v6!
Sadly the old one can't pass even easy emissions tests (hences its exclusion from the USA). So it had to have a new power plant.

500bhp would be more than enough to make that into a complete monster around the nurburgring, i genuinely wouldnt want any more power than that for a handling car, so while i agree that the straight six is awesome for drag racing, i dont think it is a match for the lighter and shorter v6 for handling, as the v6 will still easily be tunable to the sort of power level i would want, so to me there would be no value in having a load of extra weight on the nose just to earn me some power potential i wouldnt exploit anyway in that sort of car.

V6s are shite for vibration and smoothness (hence limiting their ability to rev).
A stright 6 has near perfect natural balance!
Ever seen a 6 with balancer shafts?

E30 M3 for example. BMW put a 4 cylinder in for all the reasons im raving about a v6

likin that!
didn't they bring another skyline out a few years ago, looked similar to the 350z but a bit bigger
sure i saw on in leeds,
didn't really look like anything special, must have been a bit of a let down as i have heard fook all about them and only ever seen 1
