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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
