interesting dyno...Peak hp is up maybe 20hp, a little bump in torque, pretty big at 2000 rpm. Doesn't look like there is the big mid band gain the mrev2 and spacer gives the rev-up engine.

Wonder if a new mrev will give similar gains on this engine?! If the aftermarket can find 20 hp/tq any where in the power band, and 10-15 peak, this engine/car may be a monster. Not to mention some 3.9 gears.

Hello 12's maybe?! hmmm....I'm starting to not mind the hood so much

I like the rims on the last page, but the front and rear are a little much for me. And that wing is not something i can get my head around. O well it's JDM and will probably never be in this country anyway.

Cheers

Kevin

HEY DEFTONES, I just noticed your Quote. Very nice

More stuff: (for those who can't read Japanese too well)

http://www2.nissan.co.jp/Z/Z33/0701/STYLE/main1.html

You can see a few more pics by clicking on the left-hand box (the one with the little photos in it).

If you click on the right-hand box (the one with the colors), you can see the new 07 with the different available colors.

It has said that on the usa website since at least 1/8 (p37/38 of this thread when we were seeing updates on the usa site in certain areas)... you must not be looking hard enough.

Nah, I think those are just on the Nismo Z. There has been pics of the Grand Touring 07 and it's the same rims as last years GT.

Pretty much identical except the new VQ35HR really shines above 6000RPM

I saw one of the engine pictures as well, and the NISMO headers look to be standard now. It might not be NISMO headers, but it for sure is a nice 3 into one design that promotes better scavenging.

Yes, yes... I know what was done and what's been taken down. What sucks is when the Japan site and the Canadian site appear to be fully updated for 07 and we still get... what we got.

It doesn't really matter though since all I was really waiting for was the pricing anyways. They can do whatever the hell it is they want to now to our US website. All there is left to do for us at this point is wait for them to appear on lots and purchase them... then of course drive them... and mod them.
