Nismo Concept at SEMA Clubsport23.

The 57CRs are available in 19-inch sizes... and Rays makes plenty of wheels that can be ran without spacers. I guess it really depends on which model you're wanting.

Crap, I have been looking around and these will probably be the only ones you can run in an 18x10.5 square without spacers. I may have to nut up and get a set.

They are 18x10.5 the one on the CS23, but no mention to offset. I made some research and found good options to be nearly in good spec for extreme square setup, I can post them in wheel fitment thread or open a thread for square setups discussions.

Wonder what that build will cost if Nissan ever produces it...

NorthStyle · 10-31-2018, 08:52 AM

If it's the same as the 57CRs, then the offsets are either +12 or +22 in the 18x10.5, however since these are flow-formed (based off the display posted) they may be able to offer them in various offsets similar to Forgestar.

The wheels on the car look like 57CRs but the wheels on the display area are LMGT4's Omori Edition (limited release, probably all gone by now)

Both come in the standard sizes that Rays offers

18x9.5 +22 or +12
18x10.5 +22 or +12

Pretty weak spec for this, given that even the regular nismo comes in 19x10.2 +23 rear.

They should license the Advan GT, which is made by Rays, slap a Nismo sticker on them and use the 19 or 20 inch sizing

I would do that over a TT kit since i could drive freely on the street and have relative peace of mind, even if the HP/$ is lower than TT kit

Fast Intention's kit is about $10K for 500hp

I dunno if they can come at that pricing level . . . but i think even if it's more, it would be extremely appealing given the factors above

I'm glad I decided to focus on just paying off and aesthetic mods for my Z before committing to anything performance wise. Looks like my gamble might pay off if they offer something like this in the 10-15k range I'm game.

After what was released at SEMA. Think I want a Hellaphant motor.

I want to put that motor in my PowerWagon.

Then call it HellaphantWagon.

426ci+supercharger=1,000HP, plus boat load of torque.

By looking at these pictures. It looks like a factory install. Anyone say test mule?

? ,,,as you know the factory would never put a larger displacement TT engine in a Z car-than what’s in Godzilla!

Since it has "Nismo" written all over it, It'll be more than it's worth.

Frankly, I don't see what all the hub-bub is about this car. So what, they threw a stock 3.0L TT motor in it. There's plenty of 3.7L TT 370's running around, as well as RB26 swaps, 2JZ swaps, and LSx swaps in the 370. Anybody who can measure, cut and weld can throw in their very own 3.0L TT motor and run it with a stock Infiniti ECU or better yet, a stand alone system, and most likely for a lot less $$$.

95% of the parts on that car are already available in the aftermarket and at a lesser costs since they DON'T have "Nismo" badging slapped all over them. New, soon to be released Nismo brake pads? Big whoop. There's plenty of quality aftermarket pads out there for this car already.

In doing that particular motor swap, they dropped the front shock tower brace, but I suppose they regain some of that rigidity by adding the roll cage, though not all the way up front where it once was, and where it's probably needed, or else Nissan wouldn't have put one there to begin with.

Yeah, I don't see anything special about this car at all. It's actually rather bland. If Nissan/Nismo wanted to make a statement, they should have dropped in a stock but de-tuned GT-R motor. Direct fit with very little modification, still TT, and larger displacement than that new 3.0L, and it keeps inline with the 370's own name, as in a 3.7L (well, 3.8L for the GT-R variant). But still, the same 3.7L motor for all practical purposes.

I don't get where they're saying that this SEMA 370 is the "ultimate track car". It's not. It just has all of the go-fast parts already installed from the factory. It doesn't make it any more track oriented than any other modded 370 out there who's goal is for use on the track.

Personally, and I think I'm talking for quite a few of you here, I'd rather keep what I have over this SEMA 370. At least mine has my DNA in it, it's parts and mods I chose that I know, and know work well together, and reflex a bit of who I am. It's not put together with a "me too" kit that everyone can buy and put on... "Hey, I just bought and installed the SEMA Nismo 3.0L TT kit for my Z! Yeah, me too!".

Okay, that's it for my little rant.
