Hey guys,

I saw This floating around the net and a few resources confirm that this is not as fake as i thought it out to be at first glance.

Apprently its powered by the VQ37 (rumoured) has a shorter wheel base (4 Inch) etc etc..and is a full revamp over the current 350Z that it will replace. Looks basically like a concept 350Z but could this be like the looming pics of the 35 GT-R that came out months before specualation even bagan of a new GT-R

Anyhow heres the pic, let us know what you think of this.... Release is meant to be sometime next year. And yes i realise its not a real picture haha, but there is a spy shot of the real thing going around with the shorter wheel base, covered, but with interchangeable 350Z tail and front lamps...

gah in that it still retains alot of the 350Z styling....rats, and here i was hoping that nissan took a bold turn for the Z series. Personally i like the front of the Orange one, the more i look at it the more hot it becomes! But the link shown probs is a more reasonable and more 'likely' candidate for the next Z. When i saw the GTR Proto, i hated it, i wanted to die in a hole, but somehow betwen now and then they managed to seriously refine the R35 and with a little bit of refined taste i have come to love the design of the R35, so much so i respect the styling they chose to advance from the R34, although i think they really did try and retain most of the bodywork to that of a 350Z.

Anyhow, it made me think that Nissan is getting back on the ball with its designing. Love to see a new Silvia haha...then Nissan would complete me once again.

oh cool.. it looks like a garden leaf sucker

That'd be one sweet intercooler in there then wouldn't it :P hehe

Now that you mention it it looks very low sweeping, but yeh not a fan of the new Z's (meaning all current ones from the last decade) at all, just thought it was intresting concept to bring attention to.

no matter how much you polish a turd, it'll still look like shit.

but, nissan australia will pick it over the skyline as per usual, so I'm sure we'll see lots of shiny turd on the roads soon.

Amen to that....you know what....the other day i saw a GTR badge on a 350Z and i just cried....you know i hate those honda civics with the ricer sides and HKS everywhere n all that when they don't even have one single HKS part on their car etc...and i always want to beat the crap out of those guys (sorry to anyone that does that on here and is reading this)

But this 350Z....omfg...im suprised i restrained myself to getting out and hitting the guy, fair enough if he had an RB26 in there or something but as if!! it was dead stock VQ crap....I just hope that guy is mentally impaired and thinks hes driving a GTR....cause otherwise someone needs ot badge his car for the general public's benefit. Oh btw he comes from NSW....not Vic...not that i have anything against NSW ..half my fmaily live in sydney, just think sydney peeps have alot more whacky cars over there.

The bonnet and front guards look like a 350Z's, but the glass house and rear mimics the 240Z a lot more. The overbite fangs on the front grille I could do without, too.

What a f**king retard. But you see GT-R badges on anything and everything these days. I almost thought about hitting a guy who had GT-R badges and the GT-R rear wing on his NA R33.

it was dead stock VQ crap....

VQ > RB

The Sydney "tuning" scene (i.e. ricer scene) is a lot bigger and over the top than Melbourne's. Had some mates come up recently and see George St (our Chapel St) and they were really dismayed at how much money Sydneysiders will sink into shitbox Corollas, Excels, and other econoboxes.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      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.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
