Is Nissan really bringing back the Silvia? The concept looks fantastic!! I hope they really build it. The S15 Silvia was a great sports car and it's cars like this that we really need from Nissan, an affordable rear wheel drive coupe. Let's see what Nissan have in store for us this coming Tokyo show.

I hear ya. I've been wishing for a new RWD Nissan for ages.

Dang that render looks the business! 

While nothing is official so far, it’s rumored that the next-generation Silvia S16 will feature Nissan’s innovative variable compression ratio turbo engine (VC-T).

Over 20 years in the making, the new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged VC-T engine is able to seamlessly raise or lower the height of the pistons reach. As a result, the displacement of the engine changes and the compression ratio can vary anywhere between 8:1 (for high performance) and 14:1 (for high efficiency). The sophisticated engine control logic automatically applies the optimum ratio, depending on what the driving situation demands.

Infiniti been spitting them out.

Cant say they've been ignoring the RWD demand. Obviously Lexus doing a better job of capitalising.

I think he means affordable RWD. As in, starting from $25,000. We can only dream...

Not since the days of RWD corollas has there been cars that cheap (taking into account inflation etc). 86/BRZ is as cheap as it's gonna get, and personally, I don't really want one.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
