Think about pretty much every successfull car that has ever been produced.they gain a fanbase and a reputation and then cancel them.only to revive and reinvent them a few years later.just to sell more and make a scene.

its good for sales and marketing.they wont be bringing back two cars at once cuz i believe you can make more money by having revived cars come back one at a time.

think about it this way,once the new gtr gets old and every ricer and his grandma has one then they will come out with something else to make everyone cream there pants about in anticipation.aka silvia.

just my two cents..

cheers!

I think its time for a bit of R&R for the nissan design team as their recent cars are really starting to look seriously ugly or maybe now that i think about it this all started when nissan became involved with Renault.

It's not as hot hot hot as the S15, but the exterior has to share cues with other new Nissans (Z, GTR, 350GT) to fit into the family.

Shame Nissan is running with the idea of marketing their sportier models to more affluent buyers. Nissan are trying to cut the kiddies (us) out of the equation to make their label more prestigious and therefore more appealing to wanks with money (them).

They need to make the Silvia a fun little four-banger like the article says, otherwise they're just going to encourage us to tune like crazy and bring back the 90's Nissan flavour ;)

Silvia is dead. Nissan engineer that designed the drivetrain for the new GTR said it won't be happening.

*sobbing* i have to agree with you *cuts wrist*

Hahahaha ;)

Maybe all the grannies will cream :(

This is from the lastest Wheels magazine

lol, yeah and an R35 engineer from nissan told me point blank, that the GTR wont come in V-Spec guise at last years Tokyo Motor Show. And i am a prospective customer.

BTW, this engineer was part of the drivetrain department! Same dude, maybe!

looks like wheels and I both have been milked, lol./

And before i forget.

you guys have dedicated 4 pages of hypothetical script to a concept rendered by pens and markers and only in 4 photos and yet, funnily enough you are writing off the new concept lik its going to give you the clap or something!! LOL, its so fuhneh!

i remember the way the r35 looked when they showed concepts and everyone was like, poo this and crap that and garbage whatnot and nissan should be shot, etc etc, but now look at all the R35 wannabe owners creaming their jocks to get a GLIMPSE of one on the docks in sydney!!

all i can say is L O F***** LOUD.

:P M3GTR bear in mind that as fuhneh as this is, look at who's saying what- i.e a bunch of Silvia enthusiasts that love the looks/performance/creaming pants ability of the old models. They're attached to what they know, and it'll take time for the new one to grow on them (if ever).

All those mofos that hated the GTR proto needed time for it to grow on them...and that only really happened after it was released with a spec list that PROVED Nissan had taken a leap forward (for better/worse).

Let's wait and see how Nissan pull this one off with the S16. Hopefully we'll all be holding our nutsacks on the Anzac Bridge looking down at those glowing white docks like now with the R35.

From the second shot, i like it. AMG cues in the nose suit well. Not so much the Civic Type R badge area.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
