everyone is just waiting on a GTR version.
Not going to be 3.5 either........3.3TT with electronically assisted turbos, and an electro magnetic clutch.
Thats the info that i got from a nissan source from Japan, that attended their 04 opening press confrence.
can't wait though!!
I'll be first on the list....

take care,
Paul

The car will continue to share as much parts as possible, I think Nissan/Renault will have no more than 8 platforms total for the 2 automakers to share.
If Nissan does not have a 3.3 in production yet, I doubt they will use a new engine. THe big debate was to make is 3.5 TT or use the 4.5 liter V-8.
The GT-R promises to expand on the legendary R-34. I can't wait either. It should be lighter and more driveable compared to the V-spec. The last model, the special edition M-spec, had suspension adjustments that previewed some of where the next GT-R was going.
The reason it's taking so long is Nissan did not see this big turnaround coming, no GT-R replacement was planned after the R-34. So they had to start from scratch.
I can't wait!

This same debate has gone on ad infinitum regarding the 3rd gen GS. Many people think it looks like a Maxima and others don't think so. Does it really matter what it looks like? I certainly don't think so. Again, what I strongly feel is that if you like it, then that's all that counts!
