The front end slats were there just to throw us all off. "Modern 432" has always been the approach for the RZ34 Nismo. This new front with the ducts on the side is a shock to even me however.

Oh look, there's those damned 6 piston fronts....

Tuned VR30, Bigger Turbos, 500hp, 60-70k, Lots of stiffening.

No way it's 500hp

NISMO has never put 100hp gains on any production car it's about balance for them. 350Z 0hp 370z 18hp. My GTR NISMO got bigger turbos and 2lbs of boost and it's was only 35hp gain (initially a 65hp gain until base power was raised to 565). They aren't dropping 100hp in a parts bin car (I say that with love) that barely made it to market for budget concerns. Also it won't have more power than the actual GT4 racecar version which is 450

Do you think they'll match it at 450? In your option/educated guess of course

I feel like it's going to be 420-435

450 would be ideal and you could really market the street car with the racecar but my gut says it might be a bit more conservative. we would only be in year 2 of the life cycle of this Z so got to leave some room for future

so while looking at the pics to see what the tire size was, i noticed that the brake calipers logo/markings were taped off to hide it too.

any guesses on what brand or type will be used? will they be nismo branded or perhaps another 370 carryover?

I wonder if there is any padding in the rear bumper camo. The lower half seems to really stick out from the flat tail lights.
due to popular demand, nissan is trying to retofit one of these on the rear bumper...

They need to figure out how to actually put the power to the ground with the Nismo. The normal version already spins like crazy, I know it is mainly due to crappy tires though.

maybe someone can identify them by shape. I just know that they arnt the OEM GTR Brembos. they also arnt the NISMO calipers that debuted at SEMA
