Well i guess having an opinion isnt allowed anymore?

I didnt say your not allowed to like it and i said clearly in my post it was purely my opinion. Same as contempt said he likes the 350z, thats his personal choice. If he likes it. GREAT!.

Its what i like to call a diverse society, that is why we have people who love there commodore/falcon, riced up lancer. Because in there opinion its a good car.

Why do you think when you go to the pizza shop there is 25 different varietys of pizza and the option to customise one for your self? Because EVERYONE has different taste.

This thread is purely asking for an opinion. Like it love it or hate it.

Get overself, and go flex your ego elsewhere

What about specs????

A friend said he read in a mag, "The last spec sheet I saw from a Japanese magazine said that it had a 3.2 litre V6 with twin electric-spooling turbos making 480 hp, 7 speed getrag gearbox and the new e-4WD system."

Anyone know if that is true???

Whats with you Mr. Testosterone? No need to get agro.

I think it will take time to get used to. I think people are right when they say they dont want a "supercar" look. With what I bet will only be a VQ35DE motor.

I think now the Skyline has lost the RB motors for these new VQ jobs it will lose its once feared image. It was always the hero car from japan! The 2.something litre coupe with some turbos thrown on for more grunt... The kind of milk bottle motor that gets banned from racing with the V8's because its too fast.

This thing better be sporting a turbo or i'm not jumping on the band wagon.

VQ35DETT mate :angry:

The engine already has tuning potential out the arse. Then chuck a couple of snails on it... use your imagination.

Well i remeber reading about the gt500 350z's and they mentioned they were trialing a vq35dett in it which may end up in the gtr. Furthermore the gentlemens agreement of 206kw power cap has now been lifted opening up a whole new world of possiblilitys. Esp with the new WRX etc sporting 2.5lts etc. Its gunna need the balls to outclass

I've already seen what a TT does to the VQ35DE. 280 kw at the rears at 8psi. :(

APS released a TT kit for the Z about a year ago. I saw a video of a Z doing an 11.2 quarter on 91 octane fuel. This is a rear wheel drive car that struggles for traction off the line... imagine that power with awd for traction?

Here's Dino's blog if you haven't already seen it. Photos from the Tokyo Motor Show.

UK GT-R Forum with some photo-chops of the new PROTO in different colours and a set of Volks.

I reckon it's looking the goods personally. Different from previous but tough. I hope the motor lives up to the GT-R heritage.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
