I love it i reckon its hot !

And the best part about it is when it comes out its going to be so cheap and all these dreamers thinking they will get 40+ for their 350z's will have to price drop them which means i can go get a good priced 350z :)

which is exactly why the 370 will not make the 350 drop in price too much.

I bought a Feb 2007 track 350Z a few months ago for $50k, the bloke paid $72 on the road plus $5k of wheels and $3k of suspension. I reckon $50k was reasonable with only 18,000 kms on it.

look the track ones will hold their price but i mean on car sales some people are asking 25k for a 350z with no roady.. they will drop a bit maybe then ill snap one up

It's hard to tell but my gut feeling (and comments from USA) tells me this will look much better than the 350Z in the flesh.

It had better because I was never a fan of the 350Z, especially it's proportions and that sad droopy rear end. Also interior is much better than 350Z which was crying out for better materials. More power (around 30 rwkw) and a bit less weight, shorter wheelbase and stiffer chassis should make it much much better car. My guess is this car is almost a whole second quicker on the 400m.

In my opinion the 350Z was 10k too much for it's performance and interior - didn't sound all that good either. And those lights on the 350Z are no better than the 370Z.

370Z needs wheels with maybe 10mm more offset on the front and 15mm more on the back and it'll be a winner. I'll take mine in that "bubble gum" blue thanks.

Also love the throttle blipping on downshifts AND that's it's switchable.

I think the 370Z will redefine "affordable" sports cars again - and not a moment too soon. I don't want to trade my $10k R33 GTST for a slower, less interior room, crappy plastics 2004 350Z for 40K. I'd rather trade a $5k R33 GTST for an as quick 2009 370Z in 4 years time.

Stock, the car sounds boring. But then, if the Infiniti G37 / V36 Skyline 370GT that the 370Z shares its platform is anything to go by, the 370Z isn't going to sound much better.

With a (noise legal) catback, the 350Z gets the note it should have had from the factory...but then that's true for almost every affordable car on the market.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
