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

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
