yeah the current time is 7:26.7 and at the ring this weekend they said on OCT 18 they will make a global announcement of the car and debut the new time which is a new record... and to my knowledge that record is held by the ACR with 7:22.xx so that leads me to surmise its 7:21 something.. but we will see in 2 weeks ( yes a porsche GT2 did 7:18 but it wasnt the full course)

the new power comes from a ECU remap and changes to the cats and muffler sections.. so thats 45hp with new suspension.. more rigid chassis and check this out... a new dunlop tire( its just the new version of the current DSST 600 CCT summer tire ... not sure what the change is though)... add all those up with Suzuki driving and i can see 5 secs

same turbo's matt? slightly more boost?

it looks like the turbos are the EXACT same ( as is the transmission) and the rumor about them being larger is not true.. i know the SpecV had a different turbine blade design so who knows if it adapted that under the radar or not..

im hearing its from yes more boost and a less restrictive exhaust set up.. and larger intake piping... basically they are doing a factory version of what alot of guys have been doing for a while now... even so the factory exhaust still will obviously be more restrictive than any good aftermarket... so i will atleast keep my HKS racepipe to use.. still 50/50 on using the legamax or staying stock cat back

:icon18:

It will be interesting if the turbo is the same and the same PSI but they changed piping and exhaust (plus tune), will show some great gains on the stock turbos.

yeah well a midpipe and exhaust on a stock GTR can be 20HP+ with no tune and about 2-3 mph in the 1/4 mile... then add a tune with just those bolt ons and your 70-80hp+ easily.... Nissan is going 40-45hp and still using 4 cat converters... and what appears to be just a slightly larger muffler section.. will be interesting to see what the PSI # is right now its 11ish so 12-13 maybe?

all i have to say is i'm a fan of the blue tips :roflpuke2:

one thing about it, i like the placement of the LED strips now vs how the "OEM" ones from the JDM looked cheap and tacked on. these obviously look like they were thought of in advance but also maybe a bit more in a vulnerable spot compared to the old style

omg that blue :drool: :drool:

yeah ive never liked blue but i have to admit against that dark grey... its amazing

those pics give you the best look yet at the color and all the details of the change

Is that a lower rear fog I see on that last picture?

yeah sort of a F1 style LED... and look close that part of the diffuser is dry carbon..

the car is really stepping up its use of materials.. i think in person its gonna feel and look more high end than the current car

in the UK this thing took at 10K jump in price.... its not looking good for a modest price bump here in the US...

should know the damage early next week

some new footage today

a walk around of the car... i can notice the exhaust is a little less muted at idle.. not a lot different but a start

i'm digging everything except the side vents on the rear. that blue is just incredible!
