a v8 AWD would be an interesting thing from japan. yes it sucks up to the yanks but australia is the place with crap taste in cars, not America (big soccer mum SUV's excluded.) so sucking up to their tastes isnt that bad a thing.

I would think it's a BS rumor to sell mags 1st or it will be so limited that none of us will see it in a hurry. if they do make it, i'd like to see it in a rally.

You all seem to be missing a point. It's not you who decides what a silvia is, or a Z is. It's nissan, they design and make the bloody things so if they say the new Z is gonna be awd drive. Well guess what?? It bloody well is. Same as if they decide to put a V6 in a silvia it's a freaking silvia. If they decide to make a car in which you sit backwards and use a playstation controller and call it a skyline it's a skyline.

Quit living in the past and move on.

Also wheels is a reputable mag and been around longer than you. And they don't say there is going to be a 450Z they say there is speculation of one.

We do decide... to a degree. Nissan design vehicles based on what they can sell. If no one wants a V6 engined Silvia, then they won't make one! Or if it somehow makes it to market, it won't stay there for long.

In addition, the Z cars and Silvias have a real cult following around the world, and Nissan would be foolish to mess with the formula and turn away long time fans of the vehicles.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
