Haha - he probably was a sales rep - they tend to cane them!

You see the nismo kit for them in the import mag - look pretty special with one of those on without it looks a little too much like an audi TT

u lucky man.. thats all i can say... :) can u get me a job there for me too? :P

so how is it? i remember one of the drivers in best motoring saying the Z has better response feel than the r34 gtr coz its lighter than the R...

standard equipment: heated leather power-operated sports seats!!! :P

MRE: 68 grand? I was just reading the latest Open Road and it says there will be 2 models, the "Touring" and the "Track" (which gets Brembo brakes, bigger wheels and spoilers, and Vehicle Dynamic Control..whatever that is?)

anyway it says prices will be:

Touring manual $59,990 auto $62,790

Track $65,990

Was in Nissan at Nowra yesterday arvo after seeing a silver 'Track' in the driveway and ripping to a halt sideways in the carpark out the front :P

Very VERY tasty looking car. Brembos were gold not red on this one, seats are four way electric on driver side and two way on passenger. The sales rep said they had a day at the creek flogging the guts off of them.

The throw on the 6 speed bos is awesome.

72k on road.

Looks pretty good.. its growing on me a lot - i think its going to be a big seller. STI aren't that quick - and they are so standard looking.. why do people bother!? Good to see a new Nissan getting back up there again.

Who knows, in a couple of years when I want a change from my skyline it might be a good choice, when the price has dropped a bit to maybe 35k or so. Performance mods should be common then too as the japanese are starting to tinker.

The Z is really an awesome machine. I wouldnt go and say it is a light car, in fact considering it is a 2 seater, and has rear wheel drive it is bloody heavy! It only weighs a 100kgs less than an R34 GTR!

The VQ35 is tuned for low end torque and boy can you feel it. It pulls cleanly from 1000rpm and has quite a punch. Above 5500 rpm little happens except noise. The top end is a bit harsh, they could have made it as smooth as it is low down. Being a big cc NA engine it is always ready to pull in any gear you are in. The Version ST and T get the leather heated and electric seats, the others get normal cloth seats which are very good. Interior design is really cool I thought but some of the plastics, especially the ones covering the transmisson tunnel and the boot surrounds are a bit cheap and scratch very easily.

Handling is very good too. Balance is spot on and highspeed stability is rock solid. If you pull an emergency stop from 180km/h the rear has a bit of a tendency to wonder left and right but it is kept under control with the VCD. VCD is too intrusive for fast driving but a godsend on wet roads. I found myself sideways in third gear at 80km/h but it was just so easy to get into line again. It is a really easy car to drive and a real riot to cane around. After all the abuse I gave it, it was as sweet as the day I picked it up. Nothing broke(typical Nissan build) and only the tyre thead was an issue:D :lol:

Anyway few snaps:) Notice the plate:D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
