yeah u sit real low in it now matter how tall you are and im bout 175cm ish so if ur taller you should still get a comfy driving position. the speedo/tacho moves with the steering so you always have a perfect view of it .all switches etc. are easy to reach and find except the the electric adjusment of the front seats where they are on the LHS of the drivers seat. my problems with the car are blind checks and looking backwards when reversing or something because of the seating position and shape of the pillars. good luck

i was lucky enough to attend a nissan drive day out at eastern creek for fleet cars - so it had maxima's, patrol's, pulsar's etc aswell as the zed's in all formats :D soft top, coupe, tiptronic, manual, track blah blah...

1 word ... awesome

i dont know wether im getting too old and impatient and therefore "over turbo lag" but the standout point for me would have to be its response. you push the accelerator and you are engulfed in this world of torque and sweet sounding engine. the track version with its brembo's were obviously braking better later on in the day, but even with the stock brakes, braking was awesome.

second to this would have to be its handling and braking. even in the soft top version, this felt a little heavier than the coupe, handling was awesome. extremely good balance, no hint of understeer and the ability to invoke oversteer with your right foot.

points i didnt like were the interior. i think whilst its pretty to look at, the interior felt plastic and fake. the seats are wonderful, driving position wonderful but space is a little scarce.

if i didnt feel the need for a backseat, then this car would definately be on my list. i think it craps all over the honda s2k in terms of performance, id like to compare it to a boxster though :)

WHAT??? so if you're turning the steering wheel 180degree on a tight turn, then you'd be looking at the speedo/tacho cluster upside down right on your lap?

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
