Received this from my Manager today.

Thought some people here may be interested.

Car looks great, and hopefully I may get to drive one soon!

(Hope this works BTW, as it is a large-ish .pdf file)

I love'd the quote that MrYutaka Katayama said, in 1969, "The 240Z represents the imaginative sprit of Nissan. It

meets all the requirements of sports-minded drivers, fulfilling their desire for superb

styling, power and safety, and provides them with the most thrilling and enjoyable

ride available in any car."

Despite the fact that a datsun fairlady 2000's had been around for about 4 years, datsun fairlady's that could probably out perform one of those new zed's

Or: "If you have followed the history of the Z, you will know that from the original 240Z,

subsequent models morphed into grand tourers and away from its focused, sports’

car roots."

I'd say that the original 240z itself was a grand tourer.

Anyway, Guess that's what marketing is :).

Looks like the 370z is going to be quite a nice car to drive. And expensive at 70000AUD. The document is interesting, thanks for the upload.

No problem. Share and share alike I always say!

I did question the price tag too. Especially with the GTR being released as well.

I think the 350z was still around the 60K mark when released though.

nope nothing wrong with the price. we paid 70k for the convertable 5 years ago, and it had the povo brakes not the big ones. In real terms the price has come down, and there is still nothing in in the market that will catch it for the price (esp in RWD)

i'm ashamed to say this, cos I stopped liking the land barges that they released after the S30... but I love the side profile of the 370Z. so retro, so cool. possibly the coolest lookin Z after the S30.

BMW's? Lexus IS's? RX8's? Honda S2000?

nope....none of them are RWD, quicker, and cheaper.

s2000 is a great car, I ran one at Phillip Island. Horrible road car though, the power is not accessable. Rx8 has no power or torque. lexus is ok but much more expensive for similar speed.

having said all that, the 3x0Z has such small cargo space it must be deliberate poor design. I still don't understand WTF all of the interior space went. It is dead set a reverse TARDIS

      Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat".

      Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
