a little off topic,.

but how is the "performance" or a 1.3lt Jazz? is it a zippy little thing? and if say you had a boot full of shopping and 3 people in the car is it sluggish / irritatingly slow?

Ive been looking at getting one of these but was swaying more towards the 1.5ltr vtec engine. Not only because of the slightly larger engine but also because of the paddle shifts(in auto).

The 1.3 jazz is pretty good. have carried 3 other people in the car along with boot load of weekend gear - and has been very very good interms of zip. paddle shift would help in auto, but if you are going 1.3 go manual - its much better, more fun :D

emsta thanks,

unfortunatly buying a manual isnt an option as my fiance cant drive manual.

Did you test drive a 1.5ltr before deciding on the 1.3ltr?

I should just wait until I am back in australia and able to test drive both, im just too excited though and want to start looking at cars on carsales.

yeah thats cool man - i test drove both. 1.5 was good, but bought 1.3 cos it was just a wee bit better with petrol. Ideally best to wait till u get back, then you can test both and then go for it.

My thing is that if its just commuting aroudn the little streets, then 1.3ltrs is more than enough. Even fwy driving, its enough - however its better in manual. If you want auto - then chances are you will go the 1.5 cos its got more power and mates to the auto tranny better

lol nah man not selling the line yet! jazz is still up for sale though.

I did think about selling both and gettin a 4x4, but right now, being 27 and not married or with kids, i think the 4x4 will be a waste. Im better of having the jazz instead of the the 4x4 - as it is cheaper to run.

Hey mate its up to you but for me its easy, because the way i look at is, the second that you are born the time in your life starts ticking away, your here on this earth for a good time and not a long time, so have some fun do what ya want and live mate. I bought an r34gtr nur that cost me a fair bit and put the house on the back burners, now i am just going to have some fun with it, cruises, track days e.t.c

Mate have fun and do what makes you happy, thats what i don anyway, lol, butt too expensive

now im thinking i go for the cheaper house

say house is 160k

land is 150k

bank will see it as 310k loan (if approved)

but land is actually 120k

so total 280k

less home owners grant of 26k - equals to 254k for house

leaving about 56 for the loan remaining. Sell skyline for 13k - gives me about 69k

get a nice daily :O

you would be stupid to sacrifice that $ for a skyline

its much better in the house, but your call

and depending on the loan you get

they wont just give you $55k change to spend on whatever you like

get a nice daily :D

invest it in something else

haha nah....the excess will actually just be paid back - basically it will look like a gain on the house regardless......oh and the r33 is staying for a couple of years longer :D

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?
