a little off topic,.

but how is the "performance" or a 1.3lt Jazz? is it a zippy little thing? and if say you had a boot full of shopping and 3 people in the car is it sluggish / irritatingly slow?

Ive been looking at getting one of these but was swaying more towards the 1.5ltr vtec engine. Not only because of the slightly larger engine but also because of the paddle shifts(in auto).

The 1.3 jazz is pretty good. have carried 3 other people in the car along with boot load of weekend gear - and has been very very good interms of zip. paddle shift would help in auto, but if you are going 1.3 go manual - its much better, more fun :D

emsta thanks,

unfortunatly buying a manual isnt an option as my fiance cant drive manual.

Did you test drive a 1.5ltr before deciding on the 1.3ltr?

I should just wait until I am back in australia and able to test drive both, im just too excited though and want to start looking at cars on carsales.

yeah thats cool man - i test drove both. 1.5 was good, but bought 1.3 cos it was just a wee bit better with petrol. Ideally best to wait till u get back, then you can test both and then go for it.

My thing is that if its just commuting aroudn the little streets, then 1.3ltrs is more than enough. Even fwy driving, its enough - however its better in manual. If you want auto - then chances are you will go the 1.5 cos its got more power and mates to the auto tranny better

lol nah man not selling the line yet! jazz is still up for sale though.

I did think about selling both and gettin a 4x4, but right now, being 27 and not married or with kids, i think the 4x4 will be a waste. Im better of having the jazz instead of the the 4x4 - as it is cheaper to run.

Hey mate its up to you but for me its easy, because the way i look at is, the second that you are born the time in your life starts ticking away, your here on this earth for a good time and not a long time, so have some fun do what ya want and live mate. I bought an r34gtr nur that cost me a fair bit and put the house on the back burners, now i am just going to have some fun with it, cruises, track days e.t.c

Mate have fun and do what makes you happy, thats what i don anyway, lol, butt too expensive

now im thinking i go for the cheaper house

say house is 160k

land is 150k

bank will see it as 310k loan (if approved)

but land is actually 120k

so total 280k

less home owners grant of 26k - equals to 254k for house

leaving about 56 for the loan remaining. Sell skyline for 13k - gives me about 69k

get a nice daily :O

you would be stupid to sacrifice that $ for a skyline

its much better in the house, but your call

and depending on the loan you get

they wont just give you $55k change to spend on whatever you like

get a nice daily :D

invest it in something else

haha nah....the excess will actually just be paid back - basically it will look like a gain on the house regardless......oh and the r33 is staying for a couple of years longer :D

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
