I appreciate that actually. Ever since a few forum members a while back started criticizing some contradictory information I started to feel more like it was my duty to try my best to confirm or take more ownership over it, but ultimately they are rumors and bits and pieces/hints so maybe I...

not sure, but it's LHD and has a bunch of stuff pulled out anyways so. they said there was going to be a track spec car, but I didn't think it would be quite that race car haha. Looks more like the Lexus RCF track spec cars that were available to race teams. I'm sure they will use or have used...

see above.

part of the reason for the PM and ultimately the halt on sharing it is that I have my doubts on the validity of what was said. there is some conflicting information there that gives me pause... need more information, but at the same time all I have is what these folks will divulge here and there.

Thanks for clearing that up, Jeff.

I've been told $55k for a long time, but ultimately local markets set their own prices and it can vary for other reasons too (tariffs, options, etc). It's a guessing game.

The main target markets for the car are LHD so they have an abundance of them vs RHD. RHD will be available later though so no worries.

Nah, Chasers/Mark II/Cresta and JZA70s had hydrofans as well. The hydrofans are the best at cooling, but heavier, more complicated, and were Japan only afaik so most of the positives are outweighed IMO. I replaced the hydrofan when I first got my TTR; I left it intact when I had my Aristo...

Did the 1J (hydro or mech) water pump have a plastic impeller, @Jeff Lange? I vaguely remember that being the case.

-700-800lbs lighter -Small coupe that's very dynamic -Much faster shifting 8spd auto -More mod friendly due to forced induction -Available without waiting 3 years :) Totally different classes of vehicles anyhow.

Haha, I might just do that, you never know. Thank you for your work and best of luck.

That's very much the norm for many roles. I'm personally in a very unique position that I like to refer to as an engineering liaison; it essentially has to do with facilitating proper interactions between certain individuals. My actual job specifics are not something I introduce publically or...

I'm at Lexus, and we love what we do over here :)

apparently wasn't supposed to happen based on what I heard, but who knows lol.

I agree that if they were to avoid it, it would likely be the GTR.

My VR30DDTT is the same way (Q50 Red Sport) If a new Z is made and it uses a VR, I'm sure it will be the same... GTR too honestly. New Honda Civic Type-R, same thing.

nah, that is the design. there is no twin turbo motor afaik. but yes, 6 in 2 out.

implementation was mentioned back when I was on that side (when they spoke about making changes to the head), but then they never mentioned it again after that. unfortunate, as D-4S is a great system for several reasons...
