yup mr2 is turbo and rwd, although its acctually the mr2 spyder if you wanna be correct about it haha
and yes I'm pretty sure either volvo or saab make a turbo rwd car, if not both of them, I know they have turbos just don't know if they are rwd or not
what about porshe?

and does the s2000 have a turbo?

[stealthj]

no turbo for s2k

can you say baller?

[stealthj]

i believe its 14$ to make your car a baller.... u can buy an engine start button...

but i dunno if the key has to be in or whaaat?

YAY!! i just wired up my ciggaret lighter so it can stay on EVEN IF the key is not in!!

yay now i can leave my celfone to charge in the car

Then lets take the 300Z engine and drop that in with a bell housing large enough to bolt onto the Nissan 6 spd. tranny.

Hey....went the took their truck engine and dropped it into the 240 we need a little motion in the right direction for a change.

The S15 looks good and the future of the S16, that did not hit the marked but was on paper, looked great as well.
I'm sorry but the 2.5 and the V Spec is not what I have in mind what so ever.

Turbo's with Nissan (and the other ricer manufacturers) is what killed the cost in all of their vehicles and that is what they want to stay away from. A repeat performance is not what they are looking for right now.
I like the 300Z engine and that what it should have. Or ya can take the engine out of an older 300Z turbo, rebuild the engine and tranny (complete drive train, including suspension upgrades and so on) and head for sceaming time.

The car is underpowered and we'll NEVER forget it ( I owned 200SE-R until some fool decided to make a u-turn in from of me and destroy the car and sent me to the hospital.....anyway)

Nissan owes us.....they owe me anyways.

i dont think that newest mr2 had turbo (2000+?)

i know the older model had it (3s-gte), but im pretty sure the current mr2 isnt boosting. (i may be wrong, but im pretty sure im right)

lets get this straight. there is no s16. there will not be any s16. the s16 is not going to be manufactured.

and no, turbo is not what killed nissan. japanese emission laws are the cause of the decrease in turbo'd vehicles.

and no, we do not have a truck engine. i hate when people call the ka24 a truck engine. the truck engine is in the hardbody and is made in mexico. the 240sx ka24 is made in japan.

and no, the 240sx is not underpowered. its strong enough to spin you wheels and break traction whenever you want. more power isnt even nessecary considering nissan didnt design this car for fag racing, i mean drag racing.

and lastly, nissan doesnt owe us. and doesnt owe you. they are a very reputable manufacturer and if it wasnt for my perverted love of the fc3s, id probably stay with nissan for my next car.

dont bother talking back, because i was being very polite in this response. stop sayin dumb stuff.

there will not be any s16. the s16 is not going to be manufactured.

If this is true (and I HOPE TO GOD it isnt), I would like to see the press statement where nissan said they would not build a S16.

It would be a terrible mistake for them not to build a S16, considering the massive popularity the S15 enjoys today, even after production has ceased.

It just wouldnt be logikal.

[VQuick]

An S16, especially with a V6, is quite doable. It would also fill the big performance gap between the Sentra SE-R and 350Z.The VQ is available in more sizes than just 3.5L. Nissan can simply use a smaller one, either 2L, 2.5L, or 3L.

Personally, I think the VQ25DE would work best. The NA version makes anywhere from 187hp up to 215hp, and the turbo variant(already in production) makes '276hp.' Offer a base level 250SX with 187hp, and a 250SX turbo with, say, 230hp. This would give it a healthy output, yet it keep out of the Z's territory.

Why not use the QR? Until recently, it wasn't even used in rwd applications, and there isn't a turbo variant available from the factory. That means development time and money must be used to create one. Using the VQ25DET will save retooling costs, since the FM platform was probably not designed with I4s in mind. The VQ may have greater tuning potential as well. Since the VQs are oversquare motors, they will have a sportier(revvier) character than the uber-long stroke QR25, so even if the power was equal, the VQ25 would probably be the more enjoyable drive.

The 250SX could be based on the FM chassis. Nissan can use the G35 Coupe's long wheelbase(compared to 350Z) variant so that the car will have 4 seats.

Pricing? It gets a little complex. How about $19-24k? Offer the car kinda stripped to begin with to keep prices down, then if customers want options, make 'em cheap. The SE-R can have a price drop to make room for the 250SX.

Different trims levels can be offered, like on the 350Z.
Sport: Only four speakers(maybe just two in the front!), no leather, no Xenon lights, no Navi, etc. Either 15 or 16 inch wheels. Lightweight stripper, great car to start out with.
Touring: Six speaker Bose stereo. Leather, Xenon lights, Navi optional. 17 inch wheels. Comfortable, but still a bit sporty.
Track: A Sport model with stiffer springs, 4-piston Brembos, and forged 17 inch Rays wheels. The ultimate.

Another way to think about this is that tons of people love the G35 Coupe, but can't afford it. They don't want the 350Z, because it's still a bit expensive, and only has two seats. With the 250SX, these entry level customers would get the best of both worlds.

Nissan should either consider this, or offer a cheaper, base level Z or something. Take out the Xenon, leather seats, etc, and bring the price down to around $23k. Smaller wheels could help too. The power can also come down, if needed. Detune the VQ35 to 240hp, and people should still be happy. I remember that Europe was supposed to get a base Z with only a 190hp VQ30DE, but I don't think it worked out.

lol

am i the only one that has heard that the silvia line will be put on ice?

i mean, the obvious death of the legendary "sr20", is definately a sign that the silvia line will be no more. or atleast, a "pure" silvia line.

like how the new gt-r will no longer be called gt-r since the rb series was put to a rest.

im almost positive that the silvia line will be long gone. i wouldnt be surprised if a new line of low-class rwd cars come as offspring from the silvia generation, but i highly doubt it will retain the name.

as for 240,250,350sx....f*ck that, i cant stand alpha numeric names on cars unless its a bimmer or benz. the name 240sx is so ugly. if they do make a new line of cars how bout something less bmw-wannabe?

imagine, high speed dorifto in your brand new, high-powered, rwd.....nancy!!!

or heather!?

how bout bonita? give it a lil ghetto gangsta kinda twist.


eh, i dunno, im high right now.

[RalphCare]

how about we take the QR25DE from the specV.... slap the JDM QR20DE crankshaft to lower the displacement and allow for higher redline and tweaked power band. give the engine a wilder cam... an throw on a t28 for good measure. this CAN pass emissions and it would be a crazy engine if they could put it in a new s16..


oh and one more thing, never doubt the s16's arrival. nissan did it to the Z,and they will also revive the skyline.. its just a matter of time.. and be glad that it doesnt come out now, because u prob. dont got the money anways,and when you're older you can have a infinity m45 for the family and an s16 souped to the tits for sunday drifting.
