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

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

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
