20 years doesn't mean 20 years to develop a more powerful engine, there's more to it than that. Any manufacturer, even Daihatsu could put a 220kw N/A 2 litre engine in the thing if they really wanted to, but it means more money on production costs and less fuel efficiency. But try passing in the RB20DET under today's emission standards and you would be laughed at!

And for that matter, 20 years prior to the R32 GTS-T was the TA22 GT which weighed in at around 900kg and made 93kw from a 1.6 litre N/A engine...

I think you'll find this car to be positioned with similar performance to other sports cars within similar price ranges. They may also be making space for more powerful versions of the engine down the track, giving marketing something to keep pushing the product.

I know an rb20 would pass emissions the s15 in 1999 didn't even pass American emission standards hense why they never got it

I just expect a 'sports' car to have a little more power

really just depends on the price if the ft86 is around $30k for the na model as people have been quoting then, it will be decent but if it's closer to $60k, I don't see why you wouldnt just spring for a 370z or skyline v series

im a limo driver tomorrow daytime for stakes day or whatever it is.. gonna be cruising around in a 300c lol.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
