douglasr Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Page 21. During 2007, there will be a revised V6 with 70% new parts = power up to 309 bhp. A bonnet bulge will feature on revised cars. The Nismo version will feature a new lighter bodykit developed from the super GT racers in Japan. The bodyshell will be stiffened by additional welding and bars across the chassis, new dampers and Bridgestone RE01-R tyres. The Nismo car will have the new powerplant or a detuned version of the 400 bhp 3.8 litre Type 380RS-Competition club racer. Quote
Chesterfield Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Yup - and the new bonnet looks ugly as sin too... Quote
Stew Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Yep, read about this when my subscription arrived. Picture featured was of the rear which is also ugly as sin! Quote
Rob_Quads Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah the bonnet does look really out of place. IMO TO have introduced a bulge gives the impression there is now a real beast in the engine bay i.e. a 350/400bhp monster but no its just a few bhp more Quote
Digsy Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah the bonnet does look really out of place. IMO TO have introduced a bulge gives the impression there is now a real beast in the engine bay i.e. a 350/400bhp monster but no its just a few bhp more TBF if, like me, you have a MY03 it is actually more than a few BHP. I wouldn't complain! At least the rear is only for the NISMO version - the bonnet's for everyone! Quote
Stew Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I'll take the 400bhp one! Maybe get a nice custom bonnet though.... Quote
Sarnie Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I am actually coming round to the bonnet........ Quote
sl114 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I am actually coming round to the bonnet........ Quote
Stew Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 personal taste my friend. Plus Sarnie likes to be different! Quote
Mathys Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 According to the Z lovers across the ocean, the bonnet doesn't look as bad in real life as on pictures. I hate the look of it as well on the pics, but it might be better in real life... Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Whether we like the look of it or not, the crucial factor for me here is how it will effect the values of ours. With this being the second update in as many years, Nissan don't appear to be too concerned about safeguarding their customer's investments. Quote
captint Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 If you read the article, their not bringing out a 400 litre version, they are using the 400 bhp engine which is currently race tuned (3.8) and de tuning it, hence not 400 bhp Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 If you read the article, their not bringing out a 400 litre version, A bit too big i think Quote
captint Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 If you read the article, their not bringing out a 400 litre version, A bit too big i think oops, yet again the result of another late night Quote
M13KYF Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 If you read the article, their not bringing out a 400 litre version, A bit too big i think oops, yet again the result of another late night too much COD 3 Marc Quote
