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. :)

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.

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Engine Issue

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
