lol at all the people bagging it cause it doesnt have an outdated slop box...

does a lamborghini gallardo have a stick in the floor? Does a Ferrari F430?

i know id rather have the DSG

maybe they could release a cheap pov pack version and chuck a 6spd in it for those that wanna be l337

You can get either the Lambo or the Fezza in 6sp manual, but over 80% of buyers opt to spend an extra $20k+ to get the paddle op semi-auto 'box.

350Z's got heaps of aftermarket support... RX-8's not so much, but there's progress on the renesis front.

rumour has it mines is already working on some aftermaket goodies, and impul on a luxury package to complement it as well.

yeah i just got my first shipment of BLITZ supercharger kits (selectable on/off switching too :) ) and they are sweet, the rx8 turbo kit has been a steady mover over the last few months also....

the 350z kit is sweet and due any day for rhd release (atm only lhd) and the 4.5liter stoker kit is nearly finished also.

but why would u want a 6pd as opposed to paddle flappers? seriously? do people think they can change faster then 0.2 seconds and as smoothly? or is it the fanboy thing to want cause all real drivers use them?

i could understand if it came with a farkin 3 speed auto out of a VL ffs.

So now your a homo/fan boy for loving to drive the old skool manual ?

I bagged out the new GTR because it *might* not have the 5/6 speed and it wasn't for either of the reasons you listed.

Have you ever driven a car with DSG ?

just a side note...

has anyone noticed how similar (esp the fenders and side lines) the new GTR is to the Toyota FT-HS concept car?

It'll be at the Tokyo autosalon along with the GTR.

2 Years aye? i may be able to afford one by then.

For christ sakes what is wrong with all you people not being able to accept change and technological advancements, its a farken supercar! built to do be exactly that! if it needed a manual gearbox to be a supercar it would have one. You people are trying to tell a car manufacturer with billions of dollars worth of r n d and expertise in building cars how to do there job better??

"The target is Porsche and other high-end buyers with a free 100k to spend on cars"

Nissan is trying to make a new coveted car by pricing it out of the enthusiasts range. This car has no name with people over 35 or anywhere the vehicle has never been sold. Do you really think a large number of doctors, lawyers and other rich individuals that can afford to purchase BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche will jump on the Nissan bandwagon?

Look at all the clowns that ride ridiculously priced Harley Davidson's when Japan makes bikes that are light years ahead. They are elitists that feel their machines are "real" motorcycles due to the history, pedigree and price.

whoa! where did YOU come from???

My reply was towards WazR32GTSt (with no disrespect intended).

My paradigm is American, maybe that's why I'm jaded. Motorex screwed up importation for us.

I lived in California for 3 years, 45 minutes north of Los Angeles. I saw many a rich puke in the Santa Monica Mountains with cars well above double the price of truly a exotic JDM gray market import. Some of them thought they could drive them too.

Seriously; if a person was able to afford a European sports car I don't think he'll floss the strip in the new Nissan GT-R. That crowd will still buy the Euro because people will recognize it and the babes will flock.

the gtr has engraved itself among all car enthusiasts. They may not want to buy it for whatever reason, but there is no doubt they acknowledge that it is a car made for serious performance.

    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.
