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???

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
