Nissan Skyline GT-R35 (Part 3)

Engine and Drivetrain:

* The engine designation is VR38DETT (Twin Turbocharged 3.8-liter V6) 60-degree vee angle and bore spacing with Nissan’s acclaimed VQ-Series, which is used in everything from the 350Z to several Infiniti SUVs. Few parts are shared between the two engine series.
* 7000 rpm redline
* The engine performance of the 3 trims is the same
* IHI turbos with integrated exhaust manifolds
* 10.2 psi (Car and Driver)
* 473 horsepower @ 6400 rpms
* 433 pound-feet of torque from 3200 to 5200 rpm.
* 20-inch wheels wrapped by Bridgestone Potenza RE070s, 255/40 in front and 285/35 rears.
* Front suspension was upper and lower A-arms and the rear was a five-link.
* Bilstein Damptronic shocks: 3 settings R, Sports and Comfort
* 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds
* 11.7 seconds in the quarter mile
* 192 mph top speed (Autoweek 193mph)
* 7:38:54 Nurburgring
* 0.99 lateral G
* Carbon fiber propshaft
* GR6 transmission -transaxle (The shifting is done via a direct, twin-clutch system. One clutch handles the odd gears and another clutch handles the even ones. Shifts take 0.2 seconds.) Aichi Kikai (Car and Driver)
* Below 25 mph the torque split is 50/50, above that, under normal driving, the split is 40/60. But it can split up to 2/98 under hard acceleration.
* Unlike versions of this system in other Nissan vehicles—the Infiniti G35x, for example—the GT-R setup employs a yaw sensor and is capable of instantly transferring torque from side to side, as well as fore-and-aft, as conditions dictate.

* Mostly flat undertray
* Front diffuser
* Rear carbon fiber diffuser
* Brembo Brakes
