The MID4-I ... it debuted Nissan's ATTESSA AWD system, HICAS 4WS system, and the first VG30 4-cam motor. It's mid engined.

Produced in 1985 :ylsuper

Ahhh the MID4-II. Produced in 1987. Note the look that Honda later stole from Nissan to produce it's NSX. It featured a 330bhp VG30DETT later to be featured in the Z32 300ZX TT. It also had ATTESSA AWD. 0-62 mph in 4.9 sec.

Both cars were mid-engined.

why dont you build that R30, then come post pics

:thinker

Post by **Nismo_Freak** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

hahah R30 is pretty ugly IMO.

Either way it's something new to the site.

Imagine having an AWD twin turbo mid engined VG30

collecting the cash right now. I will need $10,000.00 to have the unibody stripped, cut up, reassembled with fully welded seams and new metal ahead of the firewall, painted and Ziebarted. Now I have a new shell painted R34 GT-R bayside blue waiting for an $800 carbon fiber hood, full custom wiring harness, restored interior with an $800.00 7 point rollcage, $1000.00 of new Trust pearl guages, overhauled R33 GTS-T brake system, 18" white Volk TE37 rims, custom twin exhuast, fuel cell, onboard fire suppression system, engine to be determined but it will be either a stroker L28 or an RB30.

Now I clear about $20,000.00 a year at my pisant job so it doesn't take a math whiz to see that all of our 240 members will be old enough to buy beer by the time this thing rolls out of my garage under it's own power but ooooo when it does:rockon I will probably have to sell both my Silvia and RX7 to get the initial bodywork and paint done, after that other than the interior I can do all the work myself.

that very first picture, the one from 1985, reminds me of an s13 in the front. and screw honda for stealing nissans design!! i really like that car. it rules.

Post by **miteymax86** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

MR2 meets S14 on the styling I think, although the NSX rear-ending a Probe isn't far off either. I'd heard something about those, but figured it was just a concept-deal, did they have an actual production run and how much were they new? And once again, WHERE CAN I GET ONE?

Post by **toki** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

price, availabilty, legality? These are all questions I DEMAND be answered or you shall feel the rath of me taking 10 minutes and using google to find out for myself.....

Post by **Nismo_Freak** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

Toki... try ... YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.

MID4-I = 2 were madeMID4-II = I think 4 were made

There are more F50 Ferraris and McLaren F1s running around.

A Mid VG30 4WD... It looks ok but its a little too much excitement for me.

Post by **Former_240_s14** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

one word................ WOW

Nismo Freak - Thanks for the history lesson - That was cool.

I used to have a hot wheel of the MID4

YouTube · Post by **EZcheese15** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

In fact, here's a picture of one...

Post by **toki** » Tue May 20, 2003 3:03 pm

I could always steal one. A brick and pair of jumper cables is probably about all i would need considering it was build 1985 or 1987, assuming a mid engine still has an easily found and played with coil wire....
