I have to make the point that many of us love our Nissan's because of their fine work with forced induction.

And I have to agree with the other person in this thread that is bored to tears by Nissan's current lineup.

Consolidation or no consolidation, Subaru is making more exciting new cars than Nissan to be perfectly honest, and they seem to be doing OK financially (correct me if I'm wrong)?

Yes but you are missing the point. Fuji Heavy Industries (ie. Subaru) had (and still does) a very small model range and were not in a dire financial situation. They can thus afford to make "more interesting" cars.

By the way, have you seen their new coporate face? Going to be a very "interesting" (read: ugly) Subaru range in the next year.

He he. Bring back the bug-eye!

I think once nissan make a shitload of money (like they are at the moment) they will get back into making awesome cars once again.. maybe around the 2007 mark.

The V35 is better than a 350z, so why is everyone so dissapointed?

Oh I know, because they cant afford one, and they cant afford to put a twin turbo kit on it.

Ya sooking babies!

but thats what i'm saying, its like nissan has lost its spirited performance car line-up or 'soul' as someone else said

for the fast car driver, there's nothing in the nissan range anymore

The more I research about the V35's the more I like them.

A G35 Infinity (read Skyline) in the USA with filter and exhaust only, manages 5.3 secs 0-60mph and a 1/4 mile in 13.8. ...not too shabby for a car with "no soul".

Supercharger and turbo kits are readily available in the states too.

Compared to a stock 33/34 GTS/GTT it has nothing to be ashamed of in a straight line and point to point would probably be quicker.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
