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

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
