no...Mazda didn't totally abolish their RX-7 marque....just that the new one won't have much resemblence to the previous models...as wif the new GT-R using a V6...I've heard the new Supra will be using a V8??

I've also seen a concept of a S16 Silvia floating around...kinda looks like a 2-door camry though...

hahahahaha LOL! one day i will make it over there *dreams of a better life in japan*

oh and btw, im not 'worried' -- i hate to sound like a pratt but i'll do it anyway: my japanese is 0wnage. Im top of the grade, its about the only subject im reaaally good at, its this uncanny thing for language that I have. too bad the australian schooling system insists I must be good on an average of several subjects in order to get a decent uni entry score. sigh....

Yeah mate, I know what thats about. I didn't study Japanese at Uni, but I've got a few friends that did, and they all said the same thing basically... but they were better for it. So chin up eh?

so this is classified as the new GT-R?

Yes... and no. yes, in that it's a 2-door coupe, no in that these pics are a "guestimate", using the 1:5 scale clay model as the basis for the CG. Of course the clay model could change 25 times before they make a final descision.

All through that article, the writer re-iterates that this is their "Perfect Expectation"... you can read into that statement anyway you want, but thats just them being professional journalists, not blowing the whole suprise for Nissan, someone who buys advertising space in their 'zine.

So there you go. A "teaser"... ;)

Check out that link Demon Dave pointed out, gtst88.

But as far as being a mechanic is concerned, it's not worth it (moneywise - you get paid bugger-all compared to an English Teacher) unless you specifically wanted the experience. I while ago, I heard that a foreigner was working at Trial in Osaka, but I could be wrong there.

My advice is just e-mail one of the bigger garages (theres bound to be someone who understands English) and just try and shimmy a contract for 3 months or something...

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
