so you dont like its looks (i used to but oddly i have moved away from that stance..especially since i keep spotting gay unicorns making out in them) but they are reliable.

how is it dynamically? would you ever track it?

TT's are pretty much off the list anyway, only a new RS would be any good and not enough monies for those.

Yeh seems to handle nice, but I would prefer the Z just on looks. It does 7L/100Km and has a decent power lever.

Hay Pat, have you thought about the Mazda 3 MPS? Lots of torque through the front wheels might sound scary, but they've had a lot of good reviews. You can get them for around $40k drive away brand new.

also, you might find some good EOFY bargains at dealers, so shop around. They might be wanting to offload floor stock at very reduced prices (expect to be able to negotiate $4-6k off sticker prices if you haggle hard enough)

If you find a demo with a few hundred km on it, there's some good saving and even further haggling to be had. It's amazing how desperate some salesmen get when they see a serious buyer walk out the door.

yeah she doesnt want a hatch or anything as pedestrian looking as the Mazda, EOFY does make it tempting to look for something new-ish and in the colour etc she wants but seeing that the Z's drop from 70k new to 45k after only a year or so it still makes 2nd hand a superior option.

Also we jumped in a few G37's and even though she did see a WRX (03, an 05 and an 07) a few HSV's and a Jeep and liked them all she absolutely fell. In. Love with the Skyline!

A bordeux 370Z would still be amazing but she is pretty keen on the G37 so i just facebooked Iron chef about importing one in the spec she wants as most of the ones on the market are auto or the wrong colour etc.

What can i say, she really wants something in purple..

no-ones perfect..

The G37s are hot. The CVTs can be a touch fragile though, I think, and they are silly expensive to replace.

I don't think you would ever want to track one.

Black > all other colours.

yeah im not sure she would want to track her 'baby', expecially after the carnage she witnessed at EC yesterday..it could still be fun on some winding back country roads or perfect for the odd SAU cruise though!

(ps agree re black or maybe a very dark midnight purple but it aint my dollars, whaddya gonna do)

she wants to fly to VIC to check this one out, is anyone nearby who can look for me?

lol didnt think so

for some reason she doesnt like the TE37 rims, im doing my best to find a modded one though. I have been trawling the Z forums and apparently without some basic exhaust and supercharger mods these things arent very quick in a straight line :(

There are a few SAUers from that side. I can go take a squizz after work one day if no one else puts their hand up.

I reckon she'll change her mind re the wheels once she sees them. If not, I'll take em as a fee for my inspection service ;) They'd look t!ts on my Stag!

As for "quickness" it's all relative really. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't keep up with an R33/34/Rex/SS/XR8 so on and so forth.

EDIT: on second look, the wheels, suspension and exhaust are not included in the sale. I'd defo negotiate the inclusion -"$42k with extras, have cash, will buy" kinda thing.

Edited by Cowboy1600

yeah i PM'ed the guy and im sure with a little haggling and a little more time with it sitting in his driveway the extras can be thrown in at the price listed, thanks for putting your hand up. Really didnt expect anyone to go to all the trouble but that would be amazing!

haha and yeah im sure we can work something out re the rims if you really want them.

i certainly dont think the photos do them any justice either..

a bit?

from what i am reading on performance forums the Oz allocation is already sold out, at least of the GT's which are the only ones you would consider. A six month or longer wait for the spec she would want and a car with half the power/middling looks?

no fanx

I thought the G37 are conventional autos. I think the V35 3.5L sedan had a CVT which would just stop working.

Highly possible. I'm not completely across the V/G series cars. I've just read around here that the CVTs are hella fragile and retardedly expensive.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
