yea and it was just a collection of "off the shelf" parts from nissan partners. it's not like they did something completely custom like the Juke-R. also, there's nothing else quite like the Juke-R out there. no one else has ever shoe-horned in an R35 powertrain into anything and to do it that way was amazing. nor done it to such a production-ready level. the only thing that really interested me about the project Z was the seats. beyond that, i've seen other people do better on this forum with similar (or better) mods.

I read somewhere that the Juke-R will be available on a made to order basis.

It's true. It's not really a production car. More of a custom product from a hot rod shop.

This publicity stunt was intended to advertise the Z and it's potential at minimal cost. It's a way to guage interest. I've seen better on this forum, but it's still a pretty cool car.

Quote:
Nissan has announced that its insane Juke-R super-crossover will be built, but in a very limited run and on a build-to-order basis.

The production version will stay true to the original concept, complete with a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine sourced from a GT-R supercar, advanced all-wheel drive system and top speed of 160 mph.

One difference, however, is that the production Juke-R will use the more powerful 545-horsepower engine from the latest 2013 GT-R while the concept version used the previous 485-horsepower engine.

Nissan has already received three orders for the Juke-R, which is estimated to cost close to $600k. Two of those orders, the automaker has revealed, come from high-profile members of Dubai society.

The announcement of the Juke-R's production was made during the presentation of a cinematic online movie starring the souped-up crossover and Nissan’s inaugural GT Academy winner, Lucas Ordonez.

The Juke-R was built on behalf of Nissan by motorsports and engineering firm Ray Mallock Limited (RML) in the UK. Shoehorned into its chassis is the drivetrain of a Nissan GT-R, which as you may have guessed is no easy task considering the GT-R has a shorter but wider overall footprint than the Juke.

Some of the modifications include widened wheel arches, a full bodykit, a fixed rear roof wing, the GT-R’s 20-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, and a custom roll cage. The interior was also given an extensive makeover, receiving a 4WD controller, the GT-R's touch-screen interface with all of the PS3-like goodies, and the engine control system.

Speaking at today's announcement, Gareth Dunsmore, European marketing chief for the Juke, said: “The Juke-R was originally intended as a one-off concept to marry two of Nissan’s most innovative models. But the reaction we had to the car in Dubai was amazing--people were making offers for the original on the street.”

If you happen to have a spare $200k lying around and are interested in owning this very unique vehicle, you can send in your request to Juke-R@Nissan.co.uk. Deliveries are scheduled to start this summer.

Nissan Project 370Z was completed & the car was unveiled last May @ ZdayZ.....

Don't know why it took so long to release stage 3 Video which was already posted.

Below are some of the performance enhancements given as part of the Stage 1 build, IMO they could have done better with exhaust & suspension..

1. Greddy Twin Turbo kit
2. Greddy Ti-C catback exhaust
3. KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension
4. StopTech Big Brake kit

Actual place card with all mods for Project Z located @ Nissan HQ located in TN



In any case output was improved from 332 hp to 500 hp !!!!!

But unfortunately it appear that it will never go into production...

Would any of you trade in your current "Z" or buy this Z if it went into production?

^^^No. Most people prefer less power. That's why my next car will be a BR-Z/FR-S
