"So will the GT-S bit be a future offering at your local Nissan dealer? Well, apart from the supercharger and specially tuned Bilsteins, there's nothing a Z owner couldn't source himself here. But Hardcastle points out that Nissan hasn't done any durability testing on supercharger-equipped Z's and the cost of homologating such a beast for production rules it out entirely. Which means this particular car will remain firmly in the 'publicity stunt' camp."

That supercharger is sweet... shut down with the push of a button!

 

Looks pretty darn sweet.

 

Looks like a centrifugal SC. Intereesting for a production car. Usually they use a twin screw/roots type a la Jaguar, MB.

 

It will be hard to get CARB with a centrifugal SC but not impossible. The numbers are low enough so if the boost is only around 5-6psi they could do it.

 

Awesome...needs staggered wheel setup and performance near 4.2 sec to 60mph.

 

Mad Max Z...That's awesome that you can turn the supercharger on and off...

 

Infiniti will have to do something like this very soon. Given the upcoming IS500, the twin-turbo 335, M3, S4, RS4 and all the AMG cars, they just will not be able to keep up. I think they would find a much larger market here than expecting everyone to pony up huge $ for the GT-R.

 

I was thinking the same thing! How awesome would it be to purr up to a stop light, flick a switch, and then get that sc whine!
