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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
