Yesterday we had the opportunity to see the Nissan Z Proto or Z Prototype. A prototype has a lot of the looks and features of the actual production car, but is often built on current developed chassis.
One of the big things that stuck me was the grille/front bumper. In most pictures I have seen of the car, it just looks like a giant square black hole, but in real life you can see the detail and depth of the grille. Not everyone is still sold on it, but I think that many pictures were deceptive.
If you missed it yesterday, Greddy Performance Products did a livestream with a ton of cars and new products for 2020 and beyond. Check out the videos below.
The R33 GTR doesn't get enough respect: The R32 is the lightest, "purest" one, the R34 is the fastest and rarest of the JDM-only Skyline range. But the R33, which is now 25 years old, and legal in the US, gets little love. In order to see what I was missing, I took out my pal Rutledge Wood's freshly imported and serviced R33 GTR for a spin!
Shoutout to Rutledge Wood and TopRank Importers for the opportunity!
Yes I am a proud papa. Its twins. GTX2971R for #bigbird2
They just arrived. My pair of Garrett GTX2971R turbos in a bolt on application for ab RB26dett. Look I know that singles are more efficient. I know the small exhaust housings can only flow so much.
These are pretty huge. 54.1 mm inducer. 71.4 exducer on the compressor side. 56.5 mm inducer and 53.6 mm exducer on the turbine side. In the meat of the efficiency they flow about 40 lb/min airflow at 2.5 pressure ratio on the compressor. Exhaust side with the 0.64 trim maxes out at about 19 lb/min at 2.5 pressure ratio. In theory these should do about 100 horsepower over the GT-RS at the same boost levels.

They are going on an RB30 with a bunch of cam, some good insides, and some nitrous if they need some motivation to wake up.
