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 ??

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
