Gosh $36k and not even an 'import'. Im thinking a VQ would be on par with a N/A rb25 if not better due to its higher displacement. No doubt the interior of the 350z are awesome, just curious as to how good it would be in stock form - say the track spec one's. Never driven a car at the showroom's before, is there alot involved before they let you give one a go I wonder..

Nope, just go in, say you've got ca$h, you sign the waiver saying you're responsible for any damage or speeding tickets and most good dealerships hand you the keys.

Hot damn, did i read the price right? $26995.00.

Might as well wait for SED's... they'll have better contrast, better response and will be a hell of a lot cheaper in that size.

plasmas don't permanently burn anymore .... I left ours on one arvo with a DVD paused for about 5 hours, and when I came back and changed channel you could see the burn-in of the image - I thought OMG I have killed my $15k plasma :( .... however I read the manual and as instructed turned the plasma off for 10 seconds, and when I turned it back on it was 100% perfect! Phew!

lol the only time an aussie male reads the manual is when it involves a 15k tv :(

yeah, they even bought insurance for you, was going to buy a cooper S and took it for a LONG test drive (with no salesman next to u). all i remember is if i total it, it will only cost me $1500 or so :(

also test drive a 350Z track spec, GREAT chassis, forgiving handling, good brake, very nice seat.

But plastic interior, boring exhaust note even at high rev and "too" linear power delivery

the financial situation then go downhill, never test drive any new car since :)

Hi Maxx :O

Yep, i was invited for a test spin in a cooper s.. but didn't take up their offer. i did take the 06 honda civic out for a long spin (few hours), they were cool about it. i found main north nissan renault weren't so keen to give me the keys to their clio sport though. :)

If its that easy then Im going to get down to my local Nissan dealer - Lakeside Nissan. :P

Duc, I drove a family friends RX8 a couple of years ago, he was tossing up between a 350Z but couldn't get it up his steep driveway. :)

It's no Skyline as far as performance but damn was it smooth, revs beautifully, and the looks are just killer IMHO.

There's actually a black one for sale at my work. No idea how much though.

I remember seeing a white 350z a while back with what looked to have had nismo bodykit options that had the most nicest exhaust note for a NA, far better then vtec. But yes, I wouldnt get one for performance wise but rather comfort, style and luxy as far as affordable luxy sports cars go considering it has bose system and leather seats.

That cima is indeed pimping, Japan do know how to make cars but more importanly style them with great aftermarket options.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
