Cant wait to get a 370z!

in a few years 2nd hand that is.....

All the reviews seem to be very positive.

IMO it looks nicer than the g37, whereas I prefer the look of the g35 over the 350z.

The performance gap between the two cars seems to have widened as well...

Good the hear they fixed a lot of the main criticisms of the old z...being the extremely harsh ride, cheap interior, weird looking rear etc.

Also whilst the old rx8 v 350z debate was a close one, new rx8 v 370z, is a no brainer, definately goes to the Z....seems like Nissan is focusing on their sports car herritage and mazda and their cute little mazda 3...

so what are everyone's opinions?

Probably not, but a four door for seat car with a reasonable boot is more practical than a 2 seater with a giant metal girder bifurcating the rear storage even if the engine goes through petrol and oil like its going out of fashion.

The RX8 vs 350Z debate was close?

The 350Z was quicker everywhere than the RX8 aside from constant switchbacks. The only place the RX8 is noticably better is in "feel" and practicality.

I wasn't talking about speed, but all round performance, practicality, looks etc

i dont like the look of the new v36

Really, I reckon that all the pictures and the one real version I have seen makes them look quite desirable. Is there anything that you don't like in particular?

Different to a V35 and both of them have there own attractiveness...

i dont know....

it just doesnt look anywhere near as agressive or appealing to me as the v35

it seems more like a 2 door family car..

I agree

i think with the 350z and v35, its was difficult to differntiate the two since they had nearly identical performance, but g35 had the extra 2 seats and comfort.

with the 370z and v37, they have tried to differentiate the two, by pushing the 370z more towards the sports car/performance side of things and the v37 towards the luxury side of things...

these minor chnages have actually resulted in the differences between the v37/370z increasing comapred to the v35/350z

ooh yeah bring on the 370z, more parts for my car at the end of the day :D

I never warmed to the look of the v35

The new Z looks a bit funny but in a good way, it's interesting to look at, plus it will share the same push button start as the v37, and hopefully it will come with the same touchscreen satnav setup because it means I might be able to get mine working properly. the v37 has AV input cables so you can watch videos through the AUX. I just have to find out how to stop it cutting out when you put the car in gear :laugh:

If the oz delivered 370z models have the hard drive aswell that will be good too, The previous owner in Japan recorded some music in the hard drive, some of the songs aren't bad either, wish I could understand it

      Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.

      All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      By MrStabby · Posted

      Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
