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???

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
