Renault could use their own engine and keep everything else with the way the transaxle is set up. I doubt they would cross breed directly, as they want to reduce Reault's manufacturing costs... not Nissans. They will take as much technology as they can though.

Mid mounted VR38TT powered Clio Sport.
Anyone thinking a mid-mounted VR25DET AWD Clio? VW Golf R32 beware!

I recall seeing something about VW making a one-off prototype Golf with a mid mounted Gallardo V10...

Let me see if I can dig it up...

That's right... even more insane than I last remembered!

have people forgot about the Nepta?

and how dare people give renault shit for not creating high performance car, after all they brought us this:

1995_Renault_EspaceF1Concept1.jpg

u cant deny its impressive performance specs:

home-school: 6.5 seconds

school-supermarket: 7.8 seconds

the thing people obviously forget about f1 is that its a big money game so do you honestly recon renault arent getting the best engineers they have working on their f1 cars. if the best engineers nissan have are working on the gt-r then chances are there involved in the f1 team at some point. renault wouldnt waste an opportunity like that.

Renault drivers are worse than Volvo drivers and they dont deserve a quality car anything close to a GTR. The sad truth is Renault is good at F1 but the passenger and commercial cars are very average. Some have great safety features which suit the 'Volvo type driver' market perfectly. The Megane Sport is 'sporty' but thats it apart from the lovely whistling turbo. (only the French would make a car that whistles) booooooo i say boooooo!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
