Hi Guys and Gals,

not sure if anyones has seen this yet so I thought I'd post it up but current rumor circulating is Nissan possibly releasing a 450Z.

Apparently would have a tuned 4.5 litre V8, i think that would have to be the VK45DE engine, Rumored to have approximatly 400 odd hp. Also talk of it being all wheel drive, although I'm of the opinion that it would no longer be a Z then.... It would be targeted at the porsche/maserati market.

Here is an article... plenty more floating around the net about this...

I don't like the idea that much, but what does everyone else here think?

I think the rumours are put out there to stem the tide of deposits(orders) refunds for the upcoming GTR. Nissan has obviously just woken up, to the fact, that the GTR is great, but ppls aren't gonna wait forever for it. It's has taken too long. I've have since move on to something else and no longer waiting for one, looks --------> Porsche Cayman.

For a mass production car maker, nissan had too many "performance" cars in their line up as it was thus no more Silvia..... having a GT-R will mean that there wont be a 450Z but then again if they dont go the GTR route then there just might be a 450Z for the US market

Well I can tell you its true that Nissan is releasing a new 350z, I’m not sure if it will be called 450z though.

My source was from one of the car shows yesterday (not sure on the name) they were test driving one of the sports Citron’s and in his final word he said he ‘wouldn’t buy the car because Nissan’s new 350z would come out next year and it would be faster and grip better then the Citron’.

So for him to have that information already then there must be something in the system.

:werd; scathing what it needs is a turbo, not more cubes and weight over the front wheels. It already has plenty of torque as it is.

I saw the show the other day too I think it was a replay and they were talking about the anniversary Z. I reckon the current one with tweaks has 3-5 years in it yet.

It can always use more torque. If I can't coax any more than a slight chirp from the rears when snapping 2nd in the dry (with non-worn street tyres), more torque would be nice.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
