I'm on here because I am desperate!!

I've been seaching to get the new car for myself for last 2 months and obviously I haven't had much of the lucks.

What am I looking for?? I FELL in love with 370z like love at first sight since the first time i saw it: however, I am still opened mind for any suggestion.

These are the criterias that I am after:

- 370Z (that best i would love to) 350GT or 370GT (will be high considered as well).

- Manual (no offended to any Auto drivers out there but this kind of car I'm keen for manual).

- Color: I will consider any color EXCEPT White and Yellow (I know it's hard to find and i'm still picky).

- Nice Rims and Exhausts will be high privileges.

And I will do need clear descriptions for dummy as I don't speak car language and please feel free to acknowledge me with any car knowledges because I am telecom engineer BUT i am quite clueless with cars :however, I love to have a nice car that I can enjoy to indulge my adrenaline rush addiction. SO HELP ME PLZZZZZ

Thank you for any advices and suggestion in advance :D

2007, 22,300km, manual, it's in Victoria but there are people here in Syd who could help make the blue slipping process easier.

Or, if you're willing to go white (it's a nice pearl white, not a flat white), there are a couple of white ones in Sydney with low kms, however while they're listed as private sales, they look to be traders. In fact, they look to be from the same trader and if I'm not mistaken, a trader that doesn't have a particularly good rep.

Oh and welcome to SAU :)

@34GeeTeeTee & God_Speed : i went to have a look on that one.

Forgot to mention that my budget is 45K .. The owner of that car didnt really negotiate much with price as its only 14000km.

also yeah the white ones you guys mentioned are all the same car and its actually a trader, jimmy at sports Auto group in burwood.

Did you get anyone to check out the red on in Melbourne?

@Cowboy1600 : Hi good to see you at last ..I read your comments from @hamiltonau... thanks for all advices :)

And NO i haven't had anyone to check that one out for me...Though, I was in Melbourne last Tuesday for work and got chance to check out on ONE in Bordeaux colour as I originally wanted.. However, the Bordeaux doesn't look as nice as the brochure and it was taken.. And i didn't have any chance to check out RED..

Why most nice cars are in Victoria for??? Anyone volunteer to go down and get it with me PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ??

@God_Speed & Humbla : Thank you for warm welcome :kiss:

@Genelle I'm looking forward for next time to see you too... :laugh:

Already been down to melbourne to drive a car back. Was good fun actually, just need plenty of good music and preferably cruise control, to get you through o nthe hume on the way back. Could've come back through the snowy but didn't want to risk it in a car I'd only known for about 8 hours...

^ soft!

i would have been going through the alpine way like i was Tiff Needell or Johan Kankunnen...which reminds me of that time i nearly understeered my Audi A4 off the road on the way down to Jindabyne from Thredbo..probably a good thing i drive trains for a living and dont transport other peoples cars :P

heres the latest car sales list of the nine manuals in NSW

http://www.carsales....~1&sort=default

the only one with mods is at the top and while he has dropped his price a little its not by much, the black 48.5k guy got back to me this morning, seems keen to sell and says he had an offer of 48k cash so could just be fishing for more.

Im starting to think someone really needs to look at that red one in VIC with the TE37s and exhaust..oh wait i cant find it. guess it was sold :/

there is this one

http://www.carsales....e:45000,60000~1

not sure about that white stripe across the top though..

or this one in QLD if we can get the price down a little

http://www.carsales....~1&sort=default

edit/

crazy bodykit car in QLD below has sold, like literally today.

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-370z-2010-12256743?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=4&eapi=2&__N=1216%201622%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294776694%20900&silo=Stock&Range=Price:45000,60000~1&sort=default

damn, it would have been sweet but yeah. Still not sure about that kit from the rear..

^ soft!

Or that time you nearly understeered off Mac pass :rolleyes:

Would love to be able to drive like Tiff.

There's no such thing as understeer when driving a train is there Pat

unless youre Keanu in Speed

Yeah he is amazing, oh and speed was a bus not a train, I used to drive Those as well and they DO under steer.. Trains however, not a bit, in fact they corner almost as well as if they are on rails!

(I know, groan)

Wow I totally forgot about the train sequence, about as realistic as the bus making that jump really. Didn't mind the movie at the time but wow it looks dated now.

Anyway why is it so hard to find a modded 370?

Melbourne and Cruise Control... been there and done that... didn't touch the accelator or break for 2+ hours purely on cruise control..almost fall sleep..

:(

Silver with 65000km and $52,000 >>> I would rather go back to that Gun Metalic.. at least it's only 14,000km and it's Gun Metallic.

The White Stripe and soft top......... Come on Patty you know my preferences better than that..

BUT this http://www.carsales....~1&sort=default the price ticked ,the kilometers ticked and the color is acceptable .. THE problem is it's in QLD and it has super gay kit at rear.. (i'm sorry but i hate it) ....anyway, it's high considered tho..guess i can just take that kit out, can't i???

And yes that RED in Melbourne....Can someone please go have a look for me please? if it is still out there...i'll DO whatever it takes to repay...

And yes the NEARLY understeered off Mac pass .... tell me about it LOL..

Speed ...love that movie...Keanu with that skinny head is the most good looking Eurasian of all time...

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
