That weight is bull. Nissan had suggested that weight would be kept to just over 1500kg for the main model and as low as 1350kg for the race Evo model.

No. I suggest you work on your psychic powers. Merely quoting the rumour. It's as good as any of the other rumours surrounding this car.

a few UK journo's are off to Japan with Nissan next week so weight and other spec rumours should be laid to rest

Anyone know if it's got direct injection? I'd like to see an mpg improvement when cruising.

The imporved aerodynamics, atessa system, electronics and 6th gear will take care of highway cruising if you can resist racing every car on the road.

Now I just need to find a way to squeeze that into my R-33. Muhahaha

that would be nice, but then it would most likley end up looking like a Z32 engine bay. you can change the battery, the headlights and an intake and thats pretty much it without having to remove the engine.

1350kg! So it's going to weigh less than an Evo VI and have a 3.8TT?

Should be interesting.

I think from what I've heard the race Evo model will have extensive carbon fibre work to get the weight down.

I doubt it. Nissan aren't releasing any info until the motorshow, so rumors will continue to cirlce.
