Nah, Turismo's sounds suck & they've had birth the ft86 & ft1 concepts as soon as they debuted. The Gtr & 370z are heavily used by the GT Academy. No clue why the IDX is being left out but somebody better dust off the Nissan hype machine & get it rolling. Toyota had turned hype into an artform!

if you do make it out, please locate a nissan exec and hound that person for as much information you can get! a few good questions would be "are you planning on utilizing the MR series engine with a turbo?" and "is this the new platform we should expect to see the Z35 and V37 Coupe being built on?".

It shows the interior...
at one angle, it looks like the Nismo is an automatic (looks like it has an inline bezel), but then from another angle it looks stick, so idk.

But what about this comment in the article...
"The official company line thus far has been that the IDx will likely never come to production fruition, but that hasn’t stopped the automaker’s American operations from drumming up support to push for the thing to be made."

Seems like bad info or either a MAJOR bummer from what we have been hearing the last few weeks.

Yeah, I am banking that it will be insanely hard to find an opening to ask a question honestly, and also that the person they send along will probably be extremely unknowledgeable anyway so...

Maybe you can peak what's under the hood though, that would be a sick bonus if they feel like popping the hood!

To reiterate my stance on the size. From motor trend:

Quote:
Even cooler, watching it being driven past a few dozen parked cars, I was struck by just how tiny the IDx actually is. Thumbs up to that.

I already posted the IDX's specs... It's about the same height as an s13, but the length is much shorter because the IDX doesn't have all this overhang past its wheel arches. its gonna be FRS sized, just boxy looking, which gives the illusion of it being bigger

Width: 70.8in (66.9in for the Freeflow)
Height: 51.2in
Wheel Base: N/A
Ground Clearance: N/A

Yep. Way shorter and wider than an S13. Bodes well for the possible curb weight, especially considering how light a modern 1.6t engine must be. Could you guys imagine if the IDX was actually lighter than an S13?!?
Adding in FRS for comparison:

FRS
LENGTH 166.7 IN.
WIDTH 69.9 IN.
HEIGHT 50.6 IN.
WHEELBASE 101.2 IN.

Was looking up directions to Super Car Sundays. 70 miles is too much gas for me to drive for a car that I don't find very attractive. Sorry guys, PayPal is open if you want to donate lol.

Little by little the car is growing on me, I'm still on a turbo FRS or the new stinger

^^^Until the Stinger gets confirmed for production, the IDX is my frontrunner. Even after the Stinger gets confirmed, its gotta prove itself to consumers like me. If it has a nearly maxed out turbo integrated into the exhaust manifold like the current Genesis coupe, that would be a serious detracting factor to me. Especially if Nissan is still using bolt-on turbos, similar to what we're familar with in the SR20's and even the Juke R's 1.6t.

Lol! I really hope they continue with the idea of mixing and matching front ends, headlights and aero... I love the way the Nismo lights resemble the illuminated versions of the blocked out headlight housings on Hakosuka racecars.

Why is that suck a big problem with everyone? Can't you just swap the mani and turbo? You guys do it on every other car

^^^I'm a big believer in the K.I.S.S. method: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

My experience has been 'The less shit you change, the less shit you break'. So I prefer using as much of the stock components as possible. Keeps costs down and retains simplicity. Less chance of shit not fitting right or breaking due inferior craftsmanship. I'm totally spoiled on the SR's ability to attach popular turbos right onto the stock manifold.

If my goals had outgrown the capability of the stock SR turbo manifold, I might feel different. As such, even if I were to buy a Genesis coupe, I would probably lean towards the pre-facelifted model just because of it's ability to accept bolt-on turbos in the stock position.

Granted, my HP goals are alot milder/modest than most on Zilvia.

I'm cool with it at the rumored 230hp. Hell I used to have a blast with my stock 240's at Auto-X. I co-piloted my friends heavily modified STI and it was about the same amount of fun as my stock 240's...

Yeah, I love the speculated 230hp in a turbo car weighing around 2800lbs. The goal I usually aim for is 100hp for every 1000lbs of weight. Won't be the fastest around, but it would be quick and peppy. So, if I can get it close to 280whp with intake, downpipe, exhaust, and a tune, that'll keep me very happy for a while.

I don't know about you guys, but I find a mildly prepped SR'd 240 with a cheapie S14/S15 turbo making about 280hp to the wheels a whole lot of fun for not a lot of money or headache while still being pretty reliable. I try to be content with modesty by not getting caught up chasing high HP numbers and rending the car almost unusable.

Having owned and driven a 300whp RB25 powered S13 I can say that 300whp is plenty of power for a 2750LB car. It was downright a blast to drive and Sportbike quick. All these guys clamoring for more HP don't realize you take away reliability and drivability when doing so.

So getting a Turbo based machine rated at 230HP factory puts it in the realm of 300HP capability easily. It spells extremely fun to drive.

I think the turbo has you guys the most happy. Cause its easier to make more power, which i understand. But if this didn't have a turbo i don't think you guys would like it at all

100% correct. If the FRS/BRZ had a turbo, I'd be drinking that Kool-Aid. I'm not into turboing N/A cars. Seen too many blow up for one reason or another. Haven't seen that much with factory F/I cars.

The IDX just has the exact combo I was looking for.
Turbo? Check.
RWD? Check.
2+2 coupe? Check.
Lightweight? Check.

The only unknown factors that I still care about are the transmission options and engine particulars.
