i like the 350z and love the look of the accords

as for the maxima i just assumed that nissan wanted a more modern look so put a few more curves in it. It doesnt remind me of a euro car, and it is very affordable when u look at all its features along with its nice smooth reving engine. I think it is a bargin considering what you get, even for the top of the range model which is only about 50 thousand yes??

thats my opinion anyways...

hahaha, it's funny how some people fully knock the look of the 350z. The 350z looks like a real sports car. Nice interior, aggressive exterior, 2 door 2 seater.

Skylines are a piece of shit. Just a plain looking car that looks like a sedan. It's just a sedan with a better motor in it. Even the new maxima looks more sporty than a skyline. The maxima looks much closer to the 350z.

So many people think, oh, skylines are the king. They drive alright, but not the best either. Anyone ever driven a 350z in stock form? let alone with new susp setup? it'd kill a skyline anyday in the bendies. And need i remind you, that it is also capable of putting out more power too with the extra 1L displacement. All in all, it's a better car. Much more modern, looks modern, drives modern.

I hear you say, oh but the gtr is all wheel drive? so what? that's only useful for drags, because most drivers would and couldn't ever push it to the stage that it needs awd on cornering. Remember the Mc Claren Road car was made in rwd.

ummmm, thats because it was built on a sedan platform.

Even the new maxima looks more sporty than a skyline.

i wouldnt go that far...

well the skylines have built a reputation that is simply excellent over its lifetime so i cant see how you can justify that it is shit. The gtr's got the name godzilla for a reason... furthermore about killing skyline in bends, hmm i would have to see it first as i dont think there is a car faster out of the bends than a gtr.

Besides the 350z are new cars so with newer technology i can see why it would impress you more so than driving a used car such as the skyline. And with power output well everyone can make their minds up there...

however, in no way am i saying the 350z is bad as it is a great car and i like them, but i am simply trying to get across to you that the skyline deserves more than to be called shit. :P

I have driven a 350z and and an r34 gtr. The 350z does not impress anyone more, trust me.

My point is, why do Jap car manufactureres make european styled cars to have to sell more cars? I thought they where all ready doing pretty good making jap styled cars.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
