Strange. All via the Nissan site. Wonder if it was just a weird translation.

Forgot the link to Nissan.

Good finding this link. It is always fun to hear the latest on our car. I am relived that Black Cherry and Gun Metallic will be available in Japan, I was losing sleep.:stirthepot:

Bah! Busting balls are ya!?

Well, if you tell me thats not an official picture of a Gun Metallic Z [not quite a photo] I'll lose my marbles!

I don't speak Japlish! ;)

blah, all talk on paper for the mag spec racers... doesn't do much for us on street.

I must be the only overly addicted and helplessly compulsive Z googler.

Does it come with plaques?

what is the aerodynamic part talking about..?..

No, so call Heidi at corporate and pester her. :roflpuke2:

Well, I originally thought the Nismo was getting more HP and some modifications to the body. After ImportConvert replied I checked out the US press releases. They always list off the older changes with the newer ones. I guess its to give whatever dorky writer who pics up the release enough information to sound informed in their article/blog/whatever.

So I guess the only actual new stuff conveyed with that Nissan JP link is the official graphic of Gun Metallic. :) It's all that actually applies to us anyway.
