Just sent off the GTR to Von Bibra at the Gold coast for the 2k POS. The service Manager drove up from there to pick up my car in Brisbane and dropped off a new 370Z.

I suspect trips beyond Brisbane though will be too far for them according to guys from the sunshine coast who have purchased from there.

They have so far been very helpful and eager to please. will post how the experience goes.

Mentioned track servicing and they actually feel the obligations are a bit much and seem open to discussion on this etc

Here is a pic of the Z car.

It is certainly getting some attention on just its first trip out, though that might have something to do with the fact it is canary yellow.

Missing my GTR already though....

yeah the 370Z is not a bad little car. tough to assess though after stepping out of the GTR

just as with the GTR, I think the 370Z looks better in the flesh, really nice proportions

not sure why the sat nav in this car isnt in the GTR though :D

you guys realise that the GTR can be serviced at Moorooka Nissan in Brisbane?

So you let the service manager drive your GTR from Brisbane to the GC and back????!!

Thats some trust you got there.

I thought the exact same thing, I'd never let someone drive my (future) GTR those distances.. No doubt he'll give it a few thrashes on the highway etc... only reason he's collecting it cause he gets to drive a 370z up and a GTR down and then back again.. who wouldn't, try asking for the same service for a micra lol...

sure do know moorooka are there but trying to remain loyal for now to the selling dealership and see what I get back (30 min to Moorooka for me, 60 to GC). they seem very eager to do what it takes to keep me there even after blunt discussions about track use, servicing costs, alternate oils, brakes, warranty BS etc. Basically trying to develop a relationship with them. If no dice, I tell them I'm off to Moorooka or a third party independent.

They currently are being good though have yet to test the waters seriously,

REgarding them driving it, they break the car they pay for the car. I think they are suitably careful. only the dedicated service guy and the manager are ever to drive it.

strategy may end up all pear shaped but thought it worth a try

I seriously doubt he will thrash this thing more than I will :P

yeah I can understand all that, (that's actually what I thought the case was)... when the time comes to buy the GTR for me (beginning next year) I could just as easily buy it from the gold coast rather than moorooka depending on price and level of service..

will keep thread up dated on level of service for your decision. alternatively pm me when decision time comes

Got the car back on Tuesday and had a rattle from the left ?under the car, was a loose bolt for the panels under the car.

service guy kindly drove to brissi to spend 2 minutes identifying and fixing it for me. They take the panels under the car off during servicing so will probably happen to people from time to time. hopefully useful info for others if you get a sharp almost metallic sounding rattle/vibration in the car. check under by tapping the panels in various locations to identify. I did this but not centrally enough to uncover the loose bolt in question

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
