One detail we were able to make out is the set of steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for the transmission. As we reported previously, the 2009 Skyline won't get a manual gearbox. Whether that means we'll be stuck with a traditional automatic or a newly developed dual clutch setup similar to Volkswagen's DSG setup is still unclear. Engine details have also eluded us, but we're working on digging up those specs as well.
My guess is that the GT-R will feature a DSG-style gearbox. After listening to the videos of it testing on the Nurburgring, the shifts are way too fast for a conventional automatic.
Here they are working on one of the GT-R options, when you buy a GT-R you will get a testdrive in a 911 Turbo for comparison
