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

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.
JB1, Mike and carlitos_370z like this.

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.

What happened with the M3 purchase? Thought you had the whole international delivery thing planned out..

I did, but then I bought an penthouse instead so the M3 will probably not happen for a while. Good news is I can buy a few M3s now with how much the property has appreciated. Gotta love Miami real estate

Funny enough you're kinda right, there's another bubble inflating right now with foreign investors buying up everything. We're well on our way back to 2007 levels.

Anyway, enough thread jacking. Back to the subject.

lol i lived in SFL for a while, my brother in law bought a house built in 2005 in 2010 for less than half what it cost in 2005. I'm sure it's back up to 2005 level now, but it'll drop back down here before too long, just how it goes down there.

Back on topic...

Travis, post pictures of your car for Christ's sake!

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?

Definitely an interesting design. Looks like they are letting air get in, but it might go through some heat exchangers first or something.

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
