Cant wait to get a 370z!

in a few years 2nd hand that is.....

All the reviews seem to be very positive.

IMO it looks nicer than the g37, whereas I prefer the look of the g35 over the 350z.

The performance gap between the two cars seems to have widened as well...

Good the hear they fixed a lot of the main criticisms of the old z...being the extremely harsh ride, cheap interior, weird looking rear etc.

Also whilst the old rx8 v 350z debate was a close one, new rx8 v 370z, is a no brainer, definately goes to the Z....seems like Nissan is focusing on their sports car herritage and mazda and their cute little mazda 3...

so what are everyone's opinions?

Probably not, but a four door for seat car with a reasonable boot is more practical than a 2 seater with a giant metal girder bifurcating the rear storage even if the engine goes through petrol and oil like its going out of fashion.

The RX8 vs 350Z debate was close?

The 350Z was quicker everywhere than the RX8 aside from constant switchbacks. The only place the RX8 is noticably better is in "feel" and practicality.

I wasn't talking about speed, but all round performance, practicality, looks etc

i dont like the look of the new v36

Really, I reckon that all the pictures and the one real version I have seen makes them look quite desirable. Is there anything that you don't like in particular?

Different to a V35 and both of them have there own attractiveness...

i dont know....

it just doesnt look anywhere near as agressive or appealing to me as the v35

it seems more like a 2 door family car..

I agree

i think with the 350z and v35, its was difficult to differntiate the two since they had nearly identical performance, but g35 had the extra 2 seats and comfort.

with the 370z and v37, they have tried to differentiate the two, by pushing the 370z more towards the sports car/performance side of things and the v37 towards the luxury side of things...

these minor chnages have actually resulted in the differences between the v37/370z increasing comapred to the v35/350z

ooh yeah bring on the 370z, more parts for my car at the end of the day :D

I never warmed to the look of the v35

The new Z looks a bit funny but in a good way, it's interesting to look at, plus it will share the same push button start as the v37, and hopefully it will come with the same touchscreen satnav setup because it means I might be able to get mine working properly. the v37 has AV input cables so you can watch videos through the AUX. I just have to find out how to stop it cutting out when you put the car in gear :laugh:

If the oz delivered 370z models have the hard drive aswell that will be good too, The previous owner in Japan recorded some music in the hard drive, some of the songs aren't bad either, wish I could understand it

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
