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

haha, finally spotted Steve just gettin his tires done & warming them up a little goin onto Hancock Rd :O, exhaust note sounded nice. Come to think of it I've also seen ur car at Everlast Mufflers before.

hahaha yeah didnt break traction though and guilty on the charge of being @ everlast mufflers :no:

yep I get my tyres from Chris too - got some Michelin Pilot Precedas from him for around $250 each in 235/45/17 a few weeks ago

wot did u think Andrew i was quiet happy with there service and he seemed willing to beet local competition i think he likes the skylines too :laugh::)

wot and no pics :whistling:

nop sorry no camera on us an fone was flat.

spotted 'sniper' 32 gtr goin down main rd

and another gun grey 32 gtr that cained it down sheps shortly followed by a pady wagon out of a side street was it any one off here an did he get u

there were a few onther skylines up blackwood way an other imports if ur up that way an want to meet up an go cruzing just hang around back of bp an if where up well look for u an meet up

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

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
