ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I been watching all those videos and they are crazy for doing a build like that, but I'm glad it's Nissan doing it not some shop or aftermarket company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldlion Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I would have no problem pulling up to a corvette or srt8 and dropping the hammer. Love to suprise 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would only be satisfying if you did all the work yourself. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd actually buy something like that, all my self respect would be GONE.

mutantZ Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 On second thought, I wish they put it into an s30 chassis. Then all the questions about AWD/VR38vsRB26/twin turbos would be answered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Its a GTR with a Juke body on it. I really don't see the problem with that. Unless a perfectly good GTR was scrapped. If it'd been wrecked then that's ok, same goes if they bought the drivetrain from nissan directly, which is what I assume they did. You have to admit, even if it wasn't done with pure performance in mind, it looks to be a very well done, clean job. This doesn't look like some glam rock hack job done on a cable television show which seems to be all too common these days. It seems to be a high profile project done for publicity by a well equipped shop (both in tools and talent). Would I pay to do all that work? No. Would I do all that work myself? No. Does that make it any less cool? Not really to me. Putting a busa motor in a smart car is grade-A cool to me, and this project seems has some of the same fragrance about it, just slightly different overall package. Some people don't like the juke, but even less of us like the smart car. But doing something totally over the top like this is just plain full of win. The main thing I don't like about the GTR is that it's just plain physically large. Problem solved BTW, I never assumed you though differently than all I've said John, I'm just using your comment as a launching pad for what I think about it. All in good fun I hope.

clutchdust Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In our litigious society, I have half a mind to sue Nissan for producing vehicles as offensive to my eyes as the Juke and Cube. Every time I see one it makes me throw up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I for one actually think the Juke R looks pretty damn good, considering what they had to work with. I would rock it. It would be fun to really mess with peoples heads riding in a car like that capable of 10s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I think Nissan's exterior designers must be blind pessimists. Backroom conversation: "You think some sucker will buy this crap?" "Only one way to find out..." I can't imagine how else you can make something so hideous. I went to the SF Auto Show in November. I really wish I never walked into the Nissan booth, because I saw this: Along with the Cube, Juke, and the <insert Nissan car here>. Ugh. Nissan's display made me want to Oedipus my eyes.
