Waste of space! Didn't the original one have two R35 engines one each end?

OK maybe just one:

No, this is the Juke RS, not the Juke R (which was the GTR in a clown suit).  I'd be sure that for the same money as a GTI (what they're claiming in that shitty article), you're only getting the asthmatic 4banger DI turbo with the boost wound up.

This is just the clown suit, without the GTR parts.

I hear all of you. I'm most consider about why this would be a limited numbers car! Only 250 coming here. Why? What about it is good enough to be limited?

If I wanted something like that, which I don't, the Toyota C-HR would be my pick.

The Juke might have more performance but at least with the C-HR I wouldn't vomit when I looked at it.

It looks like Renault and Mini (BMW) had drunk sex and this was the offspring.

Plus TRD make big plastic exterior stuff if you like brand name plastic.

Actually drove a press car the other week.

You have to take contemporary "Nismo" cars with a grain of salt (apart from the R35, which is an absolute monster). As a modern SUV with a bit of character (compared to the rest of its segment), I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would.

Juke and pretty much Nissan's entire range (the new Leaf is a good thing however) is ancient. I reckon Nissan sits in a pretty tough spot in the market with it's range. VFACTS data looks like their passenger car sales are pretty much supported only by the X-Tail and Qashqai.

Hopefully Nissan brings out something big at Tokyo Motor Show next year for the Z-car's 50th anniversary.

Nissan sacrifices Nismo to the God of Ugliness in a small, white, blood-spattered, mobile pagoda.323981877_HorribleJustHorrible.thumb.jpg.ae7c243e5fe9e37bb4a7a754a90d2a5b.jpg

They could have at least turned the front wheels to the right to make it look like it might have been capable of powersliding that corner.

40k... mmm I don't think so. That money buys you some decent second hand prformance cars. (Just checked something for everyone, hot hatch, aussie muscle, Euro coupe).
Or possibly even new ones.

I can't begin to imagine whose buying this.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
