TOKYO (January 8, 2008) - The GT500 specification Nissan GT-R racing car, which will vie for the 2008 SUPER GT series, will make its public debut at the upcoming "Tokyo Auto Salon with NAPAC" (January 11-13, 2008 at Makuhari Messe), followed by the "Osaka Auto Messe 2008" (February 9-11, 2008 at Intecks Osaka), the country's two largest annual custom car shows.

The new works livery - which will be featured across Nissan motorsports activities during the 2008 season - will be unveiled on the race car. Nissan will vie for the SUPER GT Championship, one of the world's most demanding GT race series, with the new machine built on the same multi-performance super car concept of the Nissan GT-R road car.

The new livery resulted from close collaboration between Nissan's design team and NISMO, its motorsports affiliate company, and incorporates feedback from members of the "Club NISMO" fan club.

http://www.tunerzine.com/news/87/gtr_tas_2008_02.jpg

The signature wide "brush stroke" design motif, synonymous with the current Fairlady Z race car, was carried forward into the new GT-R racing car as Nissan's racing fans worldwide could immediately associate with the design. The livery design swipes forward from the rear in bold red and black - the red symbolizes the passion for racing, while the black signifies the high performance of the new Nissan GT-R.

Further details of the GT500 Nissan GT-R including technical specifications will be announced on January 31st, as well as Nissan's full range of global motorsports activities for the coming season.

The R34 used Garrett turbos and could be easily switched for other turbos. In the new R35 that will not be as easy because the turbos are integrated in the manifold. So if you wish to exchange the turbo you will automaticaly have to change the manifold.

This will be another hurdle for the tuners to overcome. Here you see how the turbos are positioned in the manifold.

For translation of the text above please continue reading

Translation of the above:

“Super short ex-manifold and ex-housing all combined in one, on this specially-shaped set of turbines. These are not the Garrett turbos that were on the R34, but IHI (Ishikawajima Heavy Industries) turbos, which have proved to be highly reliable on the racing scene. They have managed to shave another 22% weight loss over previous versions of this special set-up. The volume of air passing thru one of these is probably around about GT-SS class, we guess.”

Where the regular GT-R boasts 480 hp, this turbocharged V-Spec should see at least 550 hp and is capable of a 7:25 Nurburgring laptime, 18 seconds faster than the GT-R.

Race for Nissan GTR Order Book

Nissan’s jaw-dropping GT-R – the anyone, anywhere, anytime supercar – has sold up a storm in its first few weeks’ pre-sale in Australia.

Since order taking began on October 9, more than 100 GT-R have been pre-sold as customers rush to secure their part of Australia’s performance car legacy.
The Nissan GT-R, which is eclipsing many previous supercar benchmarks around the world – and consistently wins comparisons with the world’s allegedly finest – and hitherto fastest – production coupes, has struck a chord with Australian automotive enthusiasts.

Priced from $148,800, the Nissan GT-R is poised to become an instant classic. It will be sold and serviced at 11 exclusive Nissan High Performance Centres in each capital city when it goes on sale locally next April.

Nissan Australia, Managing Director, Dan Thompson said the Performance Centres experienced a surge of customer interest following disclosure of specifications and pricing.

“The early customer reaction is fabulous and we have secured enough production to ensure that no-one who wants an R35 GT-R will be disappointed.”
“More than 5,500 have already been sold in Japan alone since it went on sale there late last year. And remember, Nissan only builds 1,000 GT-R’s per month at the Tochigi factory in Japan.

[Camper]

Nissan GT-R is expanding its already impressive repertoire by not only upping performance and spec for the upcoming GT-R V-Spec, but they have an even more potent ace up their sleeves. Best Car magazine say their "inside info" points them towards the direction of a very limited edition Le Mans Edition. Nissan is making a competition car, from which a street-legal version shall spawn.

Already an LM edition Skyline GT-R R33 was built in the 1990s, and was painted only Competition Blue. It was in commemoration to the car that took part at Le Mans 24 Hours. Beauty it was that, so we anticipate something of a sweet deal on this GT-R as well.

Suspected force will come from the car's tried and tested 3.8-litre V6 which will delve a bit deeper past the standard 480hp (353kW) into something said to be a scathing 612hp (450kW). Additionally the usual upgrades will apply: sharper, bigger brakes, new body kit, suspension and aerodynamic changes. The GT-R has already proven its pedigree among the finest on the planet, so we can only imagine what an LM Edition will come to. I wonder if it has been benchmarked against the 911 GT2? Or was that the V-Spec?

Hennessey Introduces 600hp Godzilla Package for Nissan GT-R

Hennessey Performance Engineering has just made us even bigger fans of the Nissan GT-R. The Texas-based tuner released a 600 hp (441 kW) upgrade to the car just in time for the holidays.

Called the Godzilla 600, the tuning package also provides up to 570 ft-lb (773 Nm) of torque.

This is not the first GT-R specific upgrade from the company. They have a tweek to the on-board computer software that adds 65 hp (48 kW) and 75 lb-ft (102 Nm) of torque after only 10 minutes.

The Godzilla 600 is not as simple. This package includes an upgrade to the air induction system, electronic boost control, an improved wastegate actuator, and front-mount intercooler system. Also included are turbo down pipes, mid-pipe exhaust, and rear section exhaust all in stainless steel.

Hennessey will install the package for $14,500, or ship the items to you for $11,500.

We wonder how soon you will notice the difference as you try to outrun Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol as you race down I-10 away from HPE headquarters.

Taking Orders Now: GTR Spec-V


There have been a lot of rumors going around over the past month as to when the new GTR Spec-V will go on sale and as to what will differ from the standard run of the mill GTR that we’ve been seeing recently. Well slowly but surely news has been leaking from Nissan and as of today, December 19 Japan time, pre-orders for the new Spec-V will be taken at a handful of ‘select’ Nissan dealers nationwide.

The car, rumored to be priced around the 15million yen mark, will go on sale January 8th next year at seven dealers around Japan.

Spec wise, Nissan has been tight lipped on what will go and what will stay, but the gist of it goes something like this. The hand built engine will stay at its current power level, but an ‘over boost’ function will be added, allowing for a slight increase in power whilst depressed. In the brakes and body department, the rear seats will be the first to go and some new carbon fiber trim will be added up front shedding a few kilos from the inside.

The chassis has also been rumored to have received a slight overhaul and carbon metallic brakes will take care of all the GTRs braking needs. Upgraded Bilstein Damptronic suspension has been given the job of lowering the body between 10 to 15mm on all four corners and will be coupled with super light Rays 1 piece wheels and sticky Dunlop tires. This is definitely one car we’ll be keeping a close eye on here, so stay tuned guys and girls!
