s16 on shift240, is this photo chop?

Post by **gibbo80** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 2:23 pm

I was on shift 240 and saw this. they thought it was photo chop and i would have to agree. one thing is i thought they quit with the sr. It translates to 276 hp i think to

I thought nissan killed the silvia and the SR, too. and that does look a little fake. its not bad looking though.

that's hot either way :-D

it would make no sense for them to release that now...

Think about it, they have the 350z that has 287 hp, the two cars would be in direct competition... If anything they should release a new "Silvia" in the $20,000 upper-economy or mid range with ~220 hp turbocharged I4. That'd be nice

Then again, that compete's with the Sentra

and what he hell is SR20VET?

Post by **S-14boy** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 2:23 pm

"The turbocharged GT model, scheduled for release in February 2001, is powered by the newly developed SR20VET engine. This 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine is the world's first turbocharged engine to incorporate a variable valve lift and timing (VVL) system, enabling it to generate 280 PS (206 kW) of power for exhilarating acceleration. In addition, torque output in the low to medium speed ranges has also been increased for improved driveability in urban areas as well."Its a transversly mounted motor so its either FWD or AWD. Its used in the new X-Trail.http://www.nissan-global.com/G....html

Well i guess it could be rwd but the current SR20VET is in a FWD format.

I looked at on the imaging tool I have when you get close the headlights are clearly different. it's a photoshop.

Post by **Megaseth** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 2:23 pm

that and the fact that everything looks like it doesnt belong where it is. the car doesnt even look like its where it is. the parts look like they have been stuck on there very poorly. it sounds nice, but its too good to be true.

TMS, Dead huh? what would you know? You act like you live in Japan or something...

Strikingly similar to Nissan Primera

But to my knowledge, Nissan Silvia will not be returning to the production line. And that "S16" is photoshopped as far as im concerned.

this is blasphemy!

Post by **themadscientist** » Wed Apr 30, 2003 2:23 pm

At least the Silvia went out at the top of it's game:surprisea
