Is Nissan really bringing back the Silvia? The concept looks fantastic!! I hope they really build it. The S15 Silvia was a great sports car and it's cars like this that we really need from Nissan, an affordable rear wheel drive coupe. Let's see what Nissan have in store for us this coming Tokyo show.

I hear ya. I've been wishing for a new RWD Nissan for ages.

Dang that render looks the business! 

While nothing is official so far, it’s rumored that the next-generation Silvia S16 will feature Nissan’s innovative variable compression ratio turbo engine (VC-T).

Over 20 years in the making, the new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged VC-T engine is able to seamlessly raise or lower the height of the pistons reach. As a result, the displacement of the engine changes and the compression ratio can vary anywhere between 8:1 (for high performance) and 14:1 (for high efficiency). The sophisticated engine control logic automatically applies the optimum ratio, depending on what the driving situation demands.

Infiniti been spitting them out.

Cant say they've been ignoring the RWD demand. Obviously Lexus doing a better job of capitalising.

I think he means affordable RWD. As in, starting from $25,000. We can only dream...

Not since the days of RWD corollas has there been cars that cheap (taking into account inflation etc). 86/BRZ is as cheap as it's gonna get, and personally, I don't really want one.

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
