The pictures posted above are the pre 1999 Concept pictures of the car, released in Detroit.. and those actual picutres may possibly be in Japan
BullSHIT.. I know what I am talking about.. I have been a HUGE Z car fan for years.. so don't try to prove me wrong.. trust me..
Hey there, we are all Nissan fans so you don't have to get excited even though at times it's hard when we are talking about Z's.
The Funny thing about your outburst is that Morepower2 is Mike Kojima. You know the SC project Z/editor, as well as, a top secrete, VIP at Nissan (wink, wink).
Damn, I need to look at my Hyper Rev. I wonder what ever happen to that car as well???
Looking at the pictures in more detail, I notice that I see a few 350Z's in the back ground which means this car is still in existance. Now it really is making me wonder about this car?
hey sorry if I got a little heated
I ashamed of myself... but it looks like a concept car for sure, I am not sure about the headlights.... since they kinda relate to teh concepts.. but not completly...
But... it is newer.. and 1998-ish and beyond... not early 90's.
RPS-something chassis, so it started out as a 240. LHD, probably in the US then. interior isn't emmaculate -not a factory car.. this is someones garage creation.
to be honest guys it looks like a chop, even though Im pretty sure its a real car.
I was going to swear it started out as an S15 because of the way the rear-side windows were cut. but alas, it obviously isn't.
pretty cool car, kinda wierd.. looks like they were going for a Ferrari 456GT or 550 maranello look.
edit: KA engine, definately US, and SLOW to boot.

you gotta ne pretty cracked out to chop up a perfectly good s15. they probably took an old 240z body and went bananas with it. the front looks like the FTO in japan. The rear looks like the old camaros in a way. if this is one of nissans new creations then ill lower my head and walk the other way.
that is a prototype Z.. and yes it was made by nissan there is no way someone can fabricate tail lights like that or headlights like that too.. it would cost too much.. only car a car company can afford to build something like that.. and if you look at it.. it does have everything that the ealy Zs had.. horizontal tail lights and scooped out headlights..
heres the website where the pics came from.. it looks like a Nissan show in japan....
DAMNIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! its not a nissan prototype... nothing nissan makes is LHD as a concept. ICICE YOUR DUMB. anyone with 100 grand can build that car. like people have said its just someone with alot of time and money trying to make a "CUSTOM" car. all the links on that site are about events that took place in the US so its not from a show in japan. http://www.datsun-freeway.com/about/...s/P4272347.jpg that one has vette tails is it a concept too ? lol i rest my case
Hmm. According to this site, this is a Silvia-based "test" Z that was introduced during early development stages (and the R34 GTR in the same frame was apparently one of the first test platforms for the VQ35). However, it does not explicitly say whether either of these machines were developed by Nissan or were products of a tuner with connections.
From the wording I'd say it's likely that the cars came from Nissan R&D, but it isn't that hard for an individual with enough time and money to get the same look (installing that enigne probably isn't too bad for someone with that kind of money either). It very well could just be some random guy's own concept for the next Z.
ldsolja4 you dum ass if you looked where the pics for that car were you would lotice that the pics are from japan and not the USA... retard didnt even bother to look in the right place... the pic you posted was from the 2002 MSA show in southeren california.. which i attended.. and if you did look at the page where the pics are from then you would notice that all the cars there are from japan. theres no american licence plates to be seen on any of the Zs on that event where the mystery car is on.. and notice all the people there... not a single white boy in sight.. :dumbass:
great so the cars in japan. theres still no proof that its a nissan prototype or has anything to do with nissan. i still go back to what i said before... nissan makes nothing LHD that is a concept or prototype. so if its a LHD in japan its like owning a RHD here in the states. $100k+ got this person the car how it is.

It may not be a concept or a prototype. It could very well be a test car, in which case this could very well be a Nissan product (they take what they can find). BTW, owning a LHD in Japan is not quite like owning a RHD in the US. People drive LHD cars in Japan. It's perfectly legal because of the relatively low speed limits and narrow roads (= LHD car drivers can adjust their mirrors so that they have a similar field of vision to a RHD car driver without creating a new blind spot).
