I'd hazard a guess that the racing development team and the consumer product development team are seperate... and once the former collects enough data on parts then the latter will set about making products for consumer use.

Nismo isn't massive in terms of people. Right now is very busy for everyone there.

Dunno If anyone has heard about this. but.

TOKYO (January 24, 2008) – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced that it has rationalized the tuner-parts operations under its affiliate, Nissan Motorsports International Co., Ltd. (NISMO), where its light-tune parts business was fully transferred to parent-company Nissan.

The revamp allows NISMO to focus on its core strengths and expertise to develop high-performance heavy-tune parts that cater to a dedicated customer base of tuners and racing enthusiasts.

The light-tune parts business had been transferred to Nissan to better serve a larger customer base, by leveraging Nissan's wider dealer network country-wide. Nissan's customers can now find professional tuning service and NISMO-branded tuner parts for an enhanced driving experience at any Nissan dealership across the country.

The first light-tune part that will become available at Nissan dealerships is the "NISMO S-tune", customized to the requirements of the Nissan Tiida.

With a growing customization and tuner market combined with a wider distribution network for its NIMSO-branded specialty parts, Nissan is expecting strong growth. Looking ahead, Nissan is also exploring expansion plans to overseas markets for its tuner-parts business.

In October 2006, the NISMO-branded merchandize business had already been transferred to Nissan, and retails at Nissan dealerships country-wide.

Not that This is any real indictation, but I personnally think Their Will Definantly be a Nismo R35!!!

(GT-R PROTO 05", R35 GT-R 08", R35 SPEC V GT-R 09", R35 Series 2 GT-R 09", R35 Series 3 GT-R 10", R35 SPEC M GT-R 11") R35 SPEC S GT-R 2012???

All i know is that R36 GT-R is scheduled for release in 2013, so if they make a tuned model 2012/2013 will be the year.

Obviously things get delayed a little but i think they are hard at work trying to stick by Porsche this time round in perfecting the R's and also bringing them out with set time intervals.

hay boys and girls.

do u reckon that nizmo will make a z tune version of the r35 gtr????

that would be a maybe. Carlos ghosn ceo of nissan in japan had a lot of progress with the r34 series (v-spec,s-tune,r-tune,nur and z-tune) so he made the r35 to continue the popularity and succeded in making the R35 Nissan GTR which as seen many times on tv thrashed the Porsche 911 TURBO at its own grounds Nurburgring. As a next stage Carlos created the spec v which is like a v-spec just switched around sporting monster carbon ceramic brakes costing a whopping $60,OOOAUS which slows it down from 200-0km in 7.2 seconds and goes 0-100 in 3.5 seconds just under the famous italian supercar the lamborghini murcialago lp640 at 3.4 and the monster $155,000AUS shows that it is way out of a p platers reach soon after hearing that Carlos starting manufacturing the s-tune which is due late this year in november. But a z-tune? no plans have been made but many equivelents have been made eg: the rotrex R35 which has a 800hp quad charged 3.8 litre v6 but ill keep everyone up to date about the s-tune production.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
