here is s14 kouki http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/imag...mp;fr=yfp-t-501

s14 zenki http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/imag...;js=1&x=wrt

Zenki means before kouki means after.Just like the r33 gtst's you have type 1 Zenki and type 2 Kouki

will probably be years away yet and here's hoping they put more thought into how it looks as it will have to be something special for a comeback....much like the new GTR

I hope they don't turn it into a heavy lunker like they have with the new skylines and z.

The Skyline and FairladyZ, as grand tourers, been heavy (for Japanese sports cars of their time period) for quite some time. Ironically the S30 240Z is lighter than the S10 Silvia but, as the cars were positioned in the model line up, the FairladyZ grew up.

The Z33 weighs as much as the Z32 2 seater does, which given the decade between them and OEMs' tendency to make newer cars bigger and heavier than their predecessors isn't a bad thing. And 1500kg for a GT back in 2003 wasn't that bad. It weighed more than the S15, DC5R and T230 but it's also a lot more comfortable and well appointed.

The Skyline was in the same vein, but with even more of a touring and less of a sports focus than the Z it picked up more weight to accommodate the better sound dampening and rear seats.

The Z34 is meant to be lighter again, with a smaller overall size as well as more aluminium in it's construction. I've had a look at the V36 and while it has picked up weight over the V37 it also feels a lot more solid and quality.

i think the s16 in the first link looks alright... the one in the magazine...

the concept one of the last link is from 2006 and it looks super ugly, its completely different to the first link with the pick on a magazine and the second link that is the drawing....

the car will sell for 20K in japan but will be private import to aus for about 40k llol

I don't see why not.

The NA 2.0L powering the old Sport Clio was a gem. It pulled pretty hard below 5500RPM, until whatever cam magic it does kicks in and has the thing scream all the way to redline. It's a full production engine that shits all over the SR20DE powering a limited edition Autech S15.

The FI 2.0L powering the Sport Megane is a pretty nice engine too. 165kW isn't much by modern standards but it a very light tune and will easily make more power.

yea i read about the possible renault engine. because In 1999, Nissan entered an alliance with Renault S.A. of France, which owns 44.4% of Nissan as of 2008. Nissan is among the top three Asian (also known as the Japanese Big 3 Automakers) rivals of the "Big Three" in the U.S. Currently they are the third largest Japanese car manufacturer. It also manufactures the Infiniti luxury brand.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
