yep very impressive

read a review where they say the extra 40hp feels like 100, and theyre probably right

ill look into swapping my '10 for an '11 when it hits the showrooms

ill have around 10k kms on it by then

Really? I would just get a tune on an 09 or above. it will feel faster than the new one easily.

as much as i want to, and would have already done so by now, i like being held tight at night with a manufacturer warranty

ive been down the void warranty route in modifying my M3 and it was no fun when things (inevitiably) go wrong

it will be a drainer to have to repaint/clear bra the sills, re-dynamat the rear seats, and swap over a few other bolts on, so ill drive it when its available and see if it's worth the hassle

quick note on that vid, seems theres no axle tramp when using the LC like all the series 1 LC vids

what i really want to know is if they've gotten rid of that 0.5 seconds of no-mans land jumping on the throttle from standstill

It really appears that all the difference besides the extra 40 HP (which would account for all of maybe 0.2 second) is in that initial jump. Other than fine tuning the launch RPM what else could they have done? It would be interesting to observe the boost gauge on the new model to see if they have managed to get the turbos spooling up more with foot on brake and accelerator so that more torque is available instantaneously and more smoothly at lower RPM without the monstrous RPM shocking the drivetrain as was the case with LC1. Has anyone played with the new Cobb Accessport with the TCM module and launched at the preset 3300 or 3700 and seen what difference that makes to 0-100 times?

Very impressive nonetheless. I wonder if the quarter mile has improved significantly?

Yeah i agree. On it's own - compared to common mods most of us do (exhaust, tune, e85, etc) it's nothing specia really, but as a full weight STOCKER car (a fraction of the cost of comparable vehicles) if they are running 0~100km.hr in 3.04s then that is seriously impressive.

Yes but Domino that would be a false economy spending all that cash just to for the sake of maintaining your warranty and be doing sub 3's. You'd be dropping $40K by selling your current car and then having to spend another $20-$30K extra (if the rumours are correct) on the new one. You'd probably be able to buy the AMS or Switzer 1000HP packages for that kind of money and have some left over for the "inevitable" breakages.

However to be more sensible I'd go down the Cobb, Midpipe, E85 route and get Martin to upgrade the trans to take the extra grunt if you're really concerned. Warrranty is worth something but not that much!

the change over wont be a deciding factor

will wait to see how/if it drives any different

as much as i love this car, there are less tangible things i value in the new model - the uprated interior materials, improved paint quality, etc that i will wait to assess in the flesh

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
