Hi guys,

Just won my new 350gt coupe at auction last week.

I'm from North Queensland and have it arriving to Brisbane for pickup after compliance in a few weeks.

I'm flying down to Brissie one way and driving it back to its home. The trip is about 1300km's long, which is about 16 hrs on the road. We'd be stopping over night to break up the trip.

My question is, I have 3 other people that want to come with me on the trip and wanted to know if it would be too squishy for the 2 passengers sitting in the back seats.

What do you think? How far have u gone on road trips with others in the car?

Thanks in advance.

I did 1300km in 1 day in the back of a Chevrolet Impala in the US this year - that was fun :O Salt lake city to San Fran, 1.7l of Canadian Club and a lot of weed...

Oh in answer to your question - you should do it no worries :)

JK

Should be ok but as spikey says if they are tall they will be knockin their heads on the back window! :O Also don't bring alot of bags and stuff as boot ain't that deep (oh, you can fit two golf bags comfortably sorry!)

    • 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 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • 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
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • 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.
