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

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

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
