i went down to queen st to have a look to.. and might i add that nissan australia are a bunch of f**kin retarded monkeys... why the f**k do you put a car there in a container with the sides cut out of it and have glass there so you can't even see it properly! perhaps they should of had someone there that actually knew something about the car too.. not a couple of skanks saying "eeerrr.. i dunno, want a poster?" if nissan are actually serious about bringing the thing here, and selling it, maybe they should stop worrying about importers, and start doing some proper advertising.. ffs... great car, but very disapointed in the setup and organisation of the display, makes me want to get an import just to piss em off.

whats the most you could do? touch and smell it

Yea man! The smell of the car is awesome! Sitting in the beat is mad too! Not to mention the boot space, the lack of clutch. The dash is nice. And the engine bay as well as the car's fat rear tyres.. Also the Engine Start stop button. The weird door handles...

The list goes on!@

mmmmmmm

seriously though....dont understand why people whinge about the car being in a box...whats the most you could do? touch and smell it

eeerrrr, perhaps actually being able to see it front/rear on, not just side. have a look at the engine bay.. everyone that went down with us kinda thought, seeing as nissan australia are sending out emails to go down and you'll be able to check out the car for yourself before you register interest/deposit/whatever, you kind of assume that you'll atleast be able to have a decent look, but instead, a waste of 3 hours driving, and money spent on over-priced city parking to see a car behind glass glass. atleast in japan we got to breath on the thing, and we got more answers to our questions even though we don't speak japanese. nissan are treating it like its the only solid gold gtr in the world, get over it.

3hrs driving to see a car in a box...ouch!!!

i assumed the same thing as you when the car when the car was here in Sydney but seeing it in a box and only a few cm away from me was better than nothing

nissans a year away from selling the car locally so im sure the car wasnt displayed to attract more sales

people seriously thinking of buying the GTR will buy it even without seeing/touching/experiencing the car in person.

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
