I hope they don't turn it into a heavy lunker like they have with the new skylines and z.

The Skyline and FairladyZ, as grand tourers, been heavy (for Japanese sports cars of their time period) for quite some time. Ironically the S30 240Z is lighter than the S10 Silvia but, as the cars were positioned in the model line up, the FairladyZ grew up.

The Z33 weighs as much as the Z32 2 seater does, which given the decade between them and OEMs' tendency to make newer cars bigger and heavier than their predecessors isn't a bad thing. And 1500kg for a GT back in 2003 wasn't that bad. It weighed more than the S15, DC5R and T230 but it's also a lot more comfortable and well appointed.

The Skyline was in the same vein, but with even more of a touring and less of a sports focus than the Z it picked up more weight to accommodate the better sound dampening and rear seats.

The Z34 is meant to be lighter again, with a smaller overall size as well as more aluminium in it's construction. I've had a look at the V36 and while it has picked up weight over the V37 it also feels a lot more solid and quality.

i think the s16 in the first link looks alright... the one in the magazine...

the concept one of the last link is from 2006 and it looks super ugly, its completely different to the first link with the pick on a magazine and the second link that is the drawing....

the car will sell for 20K in japan but will be private import to aus for about 40k llol

I don't see why not.

The NA 2.0L powering the old Sport Clio was a gem. It pulled pretty hard below 5500RPM, until whatever cam magic it does kicks in and has the thing scream all the way to redline. It's a full production engine that shits all over the SR20DE powering a limited edition Autech S15.

The FI 2.0L powering the Sport Megane is a pretty nice engine too. 165kW isn't much by modern standards but it a very light tune and will easily make more power.

yea i read about the possible renault engine. because In 1999, Nissan entered an alliance with Renault S.A. of France, which owns 44.4% of Nissan as of 2008. Nissan is among the top three Asian (also known as the Japanese Big 3 Automakers) rivals of the "Big Three" in the U.S. Currently they are the third largest Japanese car manufacturer. It also manufactures the Infiniti luxury brand.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
