350Z performance shouldn't be that bad. The specs say its like 206kw or something and 0-100 in 6 seconds. Its very light so a na engine still makes it go. Just no boost surge or easy upgrade potential you get with a turbo.

I still wouldn't buy one, but I would be happy if I was given one :)

don't believe the hype - 206kw my ass! Why do they do a mid 14 second 1/4 mile, just like a stock S15, which has only 147kw? Yes they are a little heavier, but not that much. When I drove one it felt quite sluggish (especially at lower revs) - much more so than a stock S15.

they have stock gear change indicator, when i redline it in first three gear, the light flash and I thought "that's it??"

and as Andrew said, though all the magazine said it's has lot of torque down low, i think it's quite sluggish and has very flat top end, hence i said the power delivery is "too" linear

but i was driving a 180rwkw S15 at that time.

if i test drive it again now i might tell u it's very fast :)

that would be @ the flywheel andrew which might be about 165 @ the wheels

spotted a R31 today :O poor girl

also bought 2 new tires today and was speaking to the guy that runs the place i asked if he will do discount to the boys on the forums :) thats you guys :) and he was like sure npz

so if your in the need for tires i will happily recommend Tyre Plus @ ridgehaven 8395 5880 ask for chris and say your from the skyline australia forum i got 18bux off 2xBFgoodrich's G-force Sports

he said he can do the sava 16 bux cheaper than buerepairs modbury (bad sentance i know) that 16bux per tyre on crappy SAVAs so if u get better tyre and full set prolly do better deal

i dont think paddy wagons can book you for speeding coz them things are so slow its just a rumor i heard might be wrong if i am can someone let me know lol

Saw an R34 "GTR" at the Golden Grove Village today. Hillarious thing is that it had no flared guards, no in-dash computer and was auto. The owner still tried to insist it was in fact a real GTR however

    • 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.
