The RB26DETT doesn't meet emissions regulations in any of the major automotive markets. That's why there is no GT-R at the moment.
I don't know why people think that car companies will resurrect long-since-discontinued motors and platforms for upcoming models. That's not the way the business works.

I did a little digging and found this old thread.
https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=37979
Since then, no news has come out of Nissan about the GT-R. In fact the only news is these pictures of some kind of widebody version of the G35 coupe with a GT-R style wing testing at the Nurburgring in Germany.
The only other thing which has changed since that thread is the new Corvette Z06 has come out and is gonna be pretty expensive, so it may be more likely that Nissan makes the new GT-R into a Z06 competitor.

But how cool would it be to fire up the assembly line and have a brand new ITR churned out in a couple hours from raw metal? :love:
