Hey Gregg, Welcome to SAU .Nice car, like the tints. The 250 I hear is a real neat engine about 160kw ?? and gets brilliant mileage.

Hows life in the Carribean and are there many Skylines around ?

Hi str8g

had my infiniti for around 2 months now and love the ride.

im looking at getting slightly bigger rims and rubber, have you any idea what these cars are capable of taking as when i go to the tyre shops they dont seem to have a clue and sre guessing, Also looking at lowering, any suggestions thanks.

stay away from tyreshops that dont have a clue. Any decent shop should be able to tell by the stock wheels and make a pretty good guess on how much bigger u can go.

personally i think 19" suit this car the best...but whether this is legal is somewhat a grey area. 9.5 front and 10.5 rears in around the +15 offset should fill the guards nicely

with sedans i have nfc

last car I was driving was an Ford AUII - not anymore - 2003 v35, 25000km - Here in SA from sinergymotorsports

25000km? make sure you go get it checked by a mechanic. It might have a few more K's then 25000.

Post some pics when you can :P

Hey guys,

Just picked up my 350 GT-8 today! Absolutely loving it! :P

Gunmetal Grey

50,000 kms

Half leather half suede

Looks the part, but the power was what I really wanted.

Didn't want to pick up a cop magnet.

Haha!

Anyway, didn't have time to take any snaps but will post soon. :D

Cheers,

Tony

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
