Being built "now" is hopefully the salient difference vs prior statement... guess we'll just have to wait and find out! I told him if they're close, to take my pre-order... will update here if anything changes

ty sir, we've covered a lot of ground in this thread! hopefully it is useful as an archive even if I'm not actively updating nowadays
Hey Raul, nice to hear from you. Still in Miami? As for me, I couldn't ask for more - all is good in life... occasionally checking this board and seeing fewer OGs... spearfish sold, did you finally sell? I intend to keep mine a couple more years and enjoy the result as best I can... I need to ramp back up my event schedule but it's not as easy as it was in Phoenix, AZ when I was surrounded by tracks <1 hr. Car is running fine - thought I had a problem with my NAT disabling the vehicle but it turned out to be a shorted linkage. Finally installing the PHUNK fuel system mod and a few other things, then ready to hit the track again v soon. I think I said it before a few pages ago, but I am pleased to recommend any Z or G owner take their car to CIN MOTORSPORTS out of Charlotte, NC. I put Bobby and his crew ahead of everyone else I've worked with last few years in terms of detail orientation, nissan experience, able/willing to tackle whatever, etc. There shop has gotten busy recently, but they added some staff as well so might have capacity for more project work... if anyone is looking I highly recommend. Mine is there now if anyone wants to swing by and check it out. |

I still have mine! stock as can be! Had my tranny replaced a while back so its buttery smooth now. It's running strong and I intend to keep it a while longer. Just made a deal for a set of 40th rays with a guy on here, I thin that will look nice. I'm actually heading up north to pick them up, but I think you're north FL right? I'm not going anywhere that far.
Good to hear you're doing well and that the cars running. I come back every now and then to see who's still around from the OG's. Most of the folks who are have insane cars now, man. I should've stuck to it haha. |

You guys probably saw these pics of the new C7.R prototype... the rear diffuser is interesting and I may try to replicate. Looks like six attach points and should form a nice 7-9 degree angle from the rear axle / underbody tray. Wonder if they allow any air to get in above it - other than the air coming off rear wheel wells?

could be. although the c6 had the heat exchangers exit through license plate area, and i can see that there are two such vent openings in that area on this car... so guessing it is just open area. would appreciate if anyone can find / pls post here any more detailed pics.
it may also be they have some air flowing over cooling fins on the rear diff casing and whatever else. |

as a side note, at least for this prototype, from the looks of it they are using the same 3/8 plastic 'boat board' that I've been using for my front splitter... it's heavy for a car like this, but maybe fine for them given they prob have a min weight to meet
