Possibly the world's ugliest car :(

If you haven't thrown up enough, more pics below (with article):

Made in China cars FTL

ugly it is, I agree (the designer obviously had no artistic sense) but no need to ridicule "made in china". Not every cars made in china are ugly or cheap. BMW 3 series and AUDI A6 and A4 's are made in china(sold there too), VW Polos sold in Australia are made in china, and even some Mercedes Benzs are going to be made in china.

thought then 3 series was made in south africa ?

youre right, at the moment 3 series sold worldwide are made in south africa, except 3 series sold in china are made in china, but bmw will eventually shift all 3 series prodution to their chinese plants as business grows.

Um, I saw a Citroen ( spelling ) C6 yesterday and I'll vote that to be the ugliest car ever !!

Have seen pics but yesterday seeing it the flesh was like looking and a big shiny turd :)

As for that chinese thing above, it might not be real pretty but the bellows thing is kinda interesting. Extra space and the area's still protected so you could take a big TV home even if it's raining etc etc.

Just a thought - is that Accordeon feature some kind of moveable spoiler like on the 911 ??

So it is compressed fully when at low speeds and only deploys above 10 mph ??

It is the only conceivable thing I could come up with as to why someone would do this ??

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
