I bought a Cima which just arrived this week and as the photo shows they are bigger especially when parked next to my V35, they have a smaller turning circle, better fuel economy, only 95 mm wider but 220 kw and 450 Nm of torque, lined up some R35 GTR wheels for it.

give th fuga a bit I know of a couple of local shops wanting them :) (and I have bits for them already..)

that car is a QLD car too. look at the windscreen.

It is a VIP with leather, I am told only 10% of them came with leather from the factory, Jeff at C-Red is now AUS Distributor of Junction Produce so that is also covered.

They are aimed at the S Class and 7 Series owner, new they were 7 million yen so not cheap.

oh year god i just came in my pants.

man....nissan sure knows how to make cars big or small.

wait...what?

Sure did and I am going to make them fit, Fuga and V36 are on the cards for later in the year for my workshop and after the M35 Stagea is approved I will do the Cima .

The colour is a lot better then I thought it would be in the flesh and below is the leather trim.

congrats on the car.. welcome to the club :P

i dont know who told u its got better fuel economy then the g35.. ur in for a big suprise :) i get bout 7km/L average driving..

spec wise theyre a 4.5L V8 (they also come in a 3L Twin Turbo).. The engine pulls out 290kw (capped at 208kw stock).. 0-100 5.8s... puts its rivals the s500 and bmw 750 to shame..

the vip versions come with rear reclining seats with back and foot massage :D

It has most options except the TV in the roof for the passengers which I did not want and having a sunroof does nothing for me, heated sets front and rear, electric blind on the rear window, blinds on rear side windows, massage seats in the back and so on, I wanted black leather but leather is rare let alone black in the body colours I was looking at.

I haven't gone through everything as I have to pit it tomorrow but when I took my wife for a drive on Saturday to show her she loved it to the point of saying "we have to comply these in the workshop" but unlike my V35 it is not allowed to sit 60 mm from the ground or have an exhaust were people here me coming 2 blocks away.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
