Some of you might have seen this on Z32, posted by SeedyRom, Apparently that is the back rear quater of the new 2003Z it is pretty much final appart from a few cosmetics that are still open to review.

 

The Engine that is going in it is apparently he NA VQC engine that will be a hybrid of the versions that are allready in the Maxima and Pathfinder in the states :

 

 

IMO this is pretty disaspointing, i would sooner have seen the Skyline RB26DETT like some of the Japanes have started putting in their Z32's :

 

 

:o))))

 

 

Apparently Nissan Assure us that the engine will put out 300bhp, but what sorta tuning

options are we going to be left with on a fairly small displacement NA engine, Hopefully it will be easy to turbo charge.

 

Wonder what price we will get them at, that R34 is what 45K over here, i would have thought with the new Z's spec they will be looking at a mid to hight 20's price point.

 

Hey at least it looks better than that orange retro pile of crap that was knocking around a while back.

 

Any views / comments / opinions ??

And...."Hopefully it will be easy to turbo charge. "....yeah, sure...as easy to turbocharge as a 96+ NA Z32 (OBDII compatible)

Cheers.

 

I take it is doesn't get your Approval then Henri?

 

The Aluminum build of the VQC engine will make gettin a lot out of it total Pain in the Arse.

 

Should have a lot more room to play with than the Z32 NA's tho.
