Nissan has add 24 more pieces to the Heritage program.

Linky Here

Nismo link in Japanese. This works better on my phone where it will translate.

The highlights in my mind are new blocks, heads and R32 body panels.

I wonder if they would be making any changes to the metallurgy.

My expectation is that aluminium front end panels would be in high demand.  Any GTR that has suffered a front end collision has trashed the bonnet and or guards.  These are usually scrounged off another car, not repaired.  Must be in dwindling supply nowadays.

I would think there'd be a big interest in seats and door trims.  Anyone buying the bits that are already available for a restoration project would almost certainly jump on the most visible parts.  Door glass (to get rid of scratches) would be a possibility, along with the various electrical components in the doors (window switches, power window boxes).

Some of these things may still be around in some numbers in NOS, but I'd expect a lot to be running out.

Unfortunately I don't see the front panels listed. Only the bumpers and rear quarters. I hope the fronts will be added.

 

I haven't needed to look up windows.

Are they that hard to get?

Didn't think the 05U blocks ever went out of production. Still always been obtainable. New 05U casting type maybe ?

We need to find some more info on this.

I didn't say "the" front panel.  I just said that front panels should be in demand, in response to previous poster's "see what they produce next".

As to block metallurgy......I would not hold my breath.  It's not as if the cast material they were using had any problems.  The design, on the other hand, is where the block is weak, and the design is what they really won't change.

    • @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.
    • Hi, I went to the MINES shop here and bought something.. Niikura-San just happened to be there so I managed to take some pics and got him to sign my dash surround thingy. Its still wrapped in plastic back home.. I was thinking how to preserve the signature??? Im sure someones thought of this and done this in the past.
    • Perfect - thanks Joshuaho96!  Will see what I can source.
    • If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...
    • I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
