ive been following this story ( for obvious reasons) NISMO used Williams for help when designing and wind tunnel testing the aero parts for the GTR NISMO so that is one example of this partnership

another huge rumor is Williams is/was developing the hybrid tech for the new GTR. They make the flywheel hybrid tech for a bunch of racing programs and that technology could be used in the R36 as part of this partnership

however the one hitch in this rumor is Willimans Hybrid Power Limited was just sold to Getrag last month. that doesnt necessarily squash the rumor totally as Getrag makes the differentials for the GTR as an OEM so the dots could still be there to connect

but as far as I know the only thing to come out of this announcement so far is Williams playing a role in assisting NISMO with the aerodynamic testing of the GTR NISMO I dont know how this relates to any of the other NISMO line so far especially the Z
