Think about pretty much every successfull car that has ever been produced.they gain a fanbase and a reputation and then cancel them.only to revive and reinvent them a few years later.just to sell more and make a scene.

its good for sales and marketing.they wont be bringing back two cars at once cuz i believe you can make more money by having revived cars come back one at a time.

think about it this way,once the new gtr gets old and every ricer and his grandma has one then they will come out with something else to make everyone cream there pants about in anticipation.aka silvia.

just my two cents..

cheers!

I think its time for a bit of R&R for the nissan design team as their recent cars are really starting to look seriously ugly or maybe now that i think about it this all started when nissan became involved with Renault.

It's not as hot hot hot as the S15, but the exterior has to share cues with other new Nissans (Z, GTR, 350GT) to fit into the family.

Shame Nissan is running with the idea of marketing their sportier models to more affluent buyers. Nissan are trying to cut the kiddies (us) out of the equation to make their label more prestigious and therefore more appealing to wanks with money (them).

They need to make the Silvia a fun little four-banger like the article says, otherwise they're just going to encourage us to tune like crazy and bring back the 90's Nissan flavour ;)

Silvia is dead. Nissan engineer that designed the drivetrain for the new GTR said it won't be happening.

*sobbing* i have to agree with you *cuts wrist*

once the new gtr gets old and every ricer and his grandma has one then they will come out with something else to make everyone cream there pants about in anticipation.aka silvia.

This is from the lastest Wheels magazine

lol, yeah and an R35 engineer from nissan told me point blank, that the GTR wont come in V-Spec guise at last years Tokyo Motor Show. And i am a prospective customer.

BTW, this engineer was part of the drivetrain department! Same dude, maybe!

looks like wheels and I both have been milked, lol./

And before i forget.

you guys have dedicated 4 pages of hypothetical script to a concept rendered by pens and markers and only in 4 photos and yet, funnily enough you are writing off the new concept lik its going to give you the clap or something!! LOL, its so fuhneh!

i remember the way the r35 looked when they showed concepts and everyone was like, poo this and crap that and garbage whatnot and nissan should be shot, etc etc, but now look at all the R35 wannabe owners creaming their jocks to get a GLIMPSE of one on the docks in sydney!!

all i can say is L O F***** LOUD.

:P M3GTR bear in mind that as fuhneh as this is, look at who's saying what- i.e a bunch of Silvia enthusiasts that love the looks/performance/creaming pants ability of the old models. They're attached to what they know, and it'll take time for the new one to grow on them (if ever).

All those mofos that hated the GTR proto needed time for it to grow on them...and that only really happened after it was released with a spec list that PROVED Nissan had taken a leap forward (for better/worse).

Let's wait and see how Nissan pull this one off with the S16. Hopefully we'll all be holding our nutsacks on the Anzac Bridge looking down at those glowing white docks like now with the R35.

From the second shot, i like it. AMG cues in the nose suit well. Not so much the Civic Type R badge area.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
