This is truly a beautiful piece of art.

I'm so happy it has only taken a few design cues from the original 2001 concept (which I really didn't like).

Looking forward to that countdown hitting zero!!!

that rear view is rather good.... take away the "artistic impression" wheels and the windscreen rake... it will be a nice car come production reality....

oh and it smacks of F430 at the rear!!!

nothing wrong with that! im glad they will be keeping the round lights...

i heard runours that it might be a twin turbo v8? while i highly doubt this...its still exciting stuff!

ye? i think the new ones a lot better...i think nissan did the smart thing by bating pplz to see their reactions but if u look at some aspects of the new design the lights and so on still have 'ideas' from that 2001 prototype. I guess at the end of the day, the looks of any car will be debatable, but hopefully the performance and 'street cred' is the important factor. I really hope they dont go up market and try and make a 100K+ car cos it wont be the same. The best thing about the RB range GTR's was that they would shit on many cars that was 3 times its value and that for me was the best thing about it.

The price will be interesting for sure, considering the old R32's sold for around $110k rrp.

The R34's sold new in NZ for $120K NZ, and the GTT's for $60K NZ from the Nissan dealers.

BUt using 1990 prices, the old 300 ZX non-turbo I think sold for around $90k and the latest reincarnation - 350Z sells for $60k -$70k, so there may be some hope of sub-$100k.e.g. $99,995.95

    • Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?
    • OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.
    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset. 
    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update
