Hey everyone! I will be posting this on many import and motoring forums all around the world. The petition is

about encouraging and hoping to influence Nissan Motors to continue to produce performance and turbo import

vehicles. After a period of time, when as much signatures are collected as possible, I will be sending this to the

CEO of Nissan Motors, Carlos Ghosn, with a short statement. Help make the future of Nissan imports &

performance vehicles bright!! (by signing the petition located by link ABOVE.)

TELL YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, LOCAL DOCTOR, ANYONE WHO LOVES THEIR NISSANS!!!!

We can all join and unite as one to make a powerful force to encourage and influence the future of our beloved cars!!

Many thanks to Go Petition! & Nissan Silvia! & Skylines Australia!

hmmm - i was just reading up last one on the future of performance vehicles. Ultimately I think it will head towards the hybrids - and it certainly does look that way. But I have signed the petition anyway.

Is there a chance this could work in reverse? ie. if not enough people sign it and nissan happen to find out - would they assume that there are not enough buyers to warrant building more turbo performance cars??

I signed it anyways :) all the best...

IMO its not all about the customers, its about continuing Nissan's heritage - they have been a leader in their class for some time and the GTR is a world famous car. But it comes down to the company's focus and direction I guess.

ROFL.. can any of you actually afford brand new nissan sports cars to show that there is a demand, and to encourage them to make further models?

I assume you all own 350z ? you're all buying the next GTR in cash? :laugh:

of course.....not :rofl:

but we are giving nissan some great positive exposure with the cars we drive now... :P

I could be wrong on this but most car manufacturers seem to use their powerplant top-model cars to help sell their daily-driver/family cars. I dont know how much difference it makes but a lot of manufacturers use it in their advertising.

It seems from the 350z that nissan still want a "sports car" in their mix of cars so I'd say _that_ trend will continue. But I personally doubt we'll see another silvia or skyline true to the ones we drive. Maybe nissan will make another performance coupe (possibly the ugly foria concept?) and re-use the silvia name? who knows?

By wrapping them around poles or running from the police? I bet Nissan wished that Skylines were never allowed to be imported to tell you the truth!

i think you'll find thats still the minority. but i thought of that after i'd posted...oh well. :P

and in any case hoons will be hoons - its hardly the fault of the car. There are a more hoons in aussie cars in my opinion - eg. beat up holden commodores...seems nearly everyone that drives a vp/vn thinks they have a rocket...

I hate to say this but Nissan dont make imports. We make them imports by importing them.

And Nissan Australia certainly isnt keen on us importing skylines, silvias etc...

i agree with pixel8r.

an import nissan gets wraped around a poll, and it gets plenty of media attention, mentioning the model of the car and the age of the driver...etc..etc..so then ppl think "jeez, its always the skylines, silvia..etc.."

wen a random holden gets trashed, the car isnt even mentioned in the media...

bingo. You're petition wording is flawed and will make people at Nissan scratch their heads when they read about 25 people worldwide wanting Nissan to "continue making turbo imports!!"

turbo technology is still a viable performance option, 335i coupe, 997 Turbo, etc, etc, but Nissan has JUST managed to drag itself out of the water, and is going quite well at the moment. But recovering car companies do NOT want to start adding 3 performance models to cater for an ever increasing environmentally aware, public.

And i would argue that Nissan Oz is quite happy for us to import, save them the cost of bringing the cars here themselves, market them, advertise them, dealership space...etc. etc. Instead, we bring em in, get them serviced, buy parts, get parts brought in from japan at stupidly high prices. No, i think Nissan quite likes it. We know that the car companies get their biggest marings from parts and servicing, it's probably a nice little bonus for them with all these imports running around.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
