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!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
