no...Mazda didn't totally abolish their RX-7 marque....just that the new one won't have much resemblence to the previous models...as wif the new GT-R using a V6...I've heard the new Supra will be using a V8??

I've also seen a concept of a S16 Silvia floating around...kinda looks like a 2-door camry though...

hahahahaha LOL! one day i will make it over there *dreams of a better life in japan*

oh and btw, im not 'worried' -- i hate to sound like a pratt but i'll do it anyway: my japanese is 0wnage. Im top of the grade, its about the only subject im reaaally good at, its this uncanny thing for language that I have. too bad the australian schooling system insists I must be good on an average of several subjects in order to get a decent uni entry score. sigh....

Yeah mate, I know what thats about. I didn't study Japanese at Uni, but I've got a few friends that did, and they all said the same thing basically... but they were better for it. So chin up eh?

And the scans are here

so this is classified as the new GT-R?

Yes... and no. yes, in that it's a 2-door coupe, no in that these pics are a "guestimate", using the 1:5 scale clay model as the basis for the CG. Of course the clay model could change 25 times before they make a final descision.

All through that article, the writer re-iterates that this is their "Perfect Expectation"... you can read into that statement anyway you want, but thats just them being professional journalists, not blowing the whole suprise for Nissan, someone who buys advertising space in their 'zine.

So there you go. A "teaser"... ;)

Check out that link Demon Dave pointed out, gtst88.

But as far as being a mechanic is concerned, it's not worth it (moneywise - you get paid bugger-all compared to an English Teacher) unless you specifically wanted the experience. I while ago, I heard that a foreigner was working at Trial in Osaka, but I could be wrong there.

My advice is just e-mail one of the bigger garages (theres bound to be someone who understands English) and just try and shimmy a contract for 3 months or something...

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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)
