Should revive the Fairlady line of cars if its going to look like that (after all, silvia's started with Fairlady's waaay back in the 60's)

For reference, i don't mean the z cars, i mean these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datsun_Fairlady

Oh what the f**k every iteration of the Silvia has been a good looking thing to look at except for the s12 saw a few of them at drift events they dont seem right, but that said others will say its a good looking car.

If they're making them cheap to sell to a younger audience they have to revise the styling or no one will buy them no matter how cheap they are.someone mentioned above its only a concept but so was the GTR and the new GTR doesnt look too dissimilar to the concept .

Hahaha thats red hot joey. :) They canned the sr20 and rb26 because they could not meet emissions targets. Thats why the x-trail got a qr25 motor and skyline got a vq35 motor. All good things must come to an end and sadly, thats whats happened to the silvia :mellow:

meh the power is fine according to that article. 1.6l turbo, 147kw. exactly the same power as the aus s14s had, and it should be lighter.

I'd be happy to be able to buy a convertable nissan cheaper than a 370z. should save me $20k on the next car

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
