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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
