Finally after hearing rumour whispers for some time I found this article/picture:

S16 Silvia

Can anyone translate Japanese? Not sure on authenticity but it looks like a possible evolution of an S15. Mmmmm SR20VET - 207rwkw from the factory!

Hey, cool an S16 SR20VET... but that's funny, I thought they have killed off the Silvia due to high emission problems like the Z’s and Skylines old VG and RB engines... Australia is still getting the last few shipments of the S15 until August, I believe?

Well it good to see an S16 in the flesh, and… I WANT ONE!!!

Graham - no the last new S15s were sold last September .... you will only find second hand ones around now.

Hiep - it's like Honda V-tec .... new kind of VVT - I'm not sure on the precifics but it makes the motor a hell of a lot more efficient, powerful and has less emissions. The 2001 Nissan X-Trail 4wd JDM version had the motor in it! Not the AU version though.

Robert - I want one too mate :D

looks like a pretty bad photoshop to me, those headlights are very crooked S15 lights stuck on something else.

I'd be surprised if they didn't replace the S15 line sooner or later, 350z is too expensive for entry level. quite possible it wouldn't be turbo though, so I'm not sure how keen everyone would be then.....

It could be a photoshop, but those lights are nothing like an S15 man .... have a look at the number of globes in there (small indicator and other globe above it) .... plus they have far too much height. S15 headlights are more long and thin. But I agree the headlights on the pic are dodgy.

Yep... I'll have to agree the lights are photoshopped! The shape of the nose lines are little bit like on our Australian Mitsubishi Magna! :)

I had to edit this in... as after I exploded the picture there is an obvious photoshop around the C-pillow, boot and rear fender as well! Hmmmm... overall a poor job!

After checking the dimensions the S16 will be 135mm longer, 5mm wider and 75mm higher than the current S15... I wonder what the wheel base, wheel track widths and weight would be???

      R32 only blows hot air

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      By Duncan · Posted

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
