- A couple of months.

- Imported it.

- Manual. Coupe. White Pearl. Premium. 20" wheels.

- I dont want to add it up but it is a tad over $30k.

- No problems other than dodgy installation of immobiliser during compliance.

- About 500km.

- Not fast enough (havent tested, but over 6 seconds?).

Cheers for that, so your not happy with the speed? I was under the impression it would be a bit of a beast on the roads (haven't had a chance to test drive any yet).

-1 year and 1 month roughly

-Dealer, fresh import

-V35 coupe manual 2003

-Base $32500 driveaway, i paid a bit more to get some stuff done/changed

-1 major problem...it dyno'd at 130rwkw.. fixed now and it's putting out 170rwkw @ ismr (where stock z's with same motor do 150's)

-Fixed through giving car TLC.. i.e. changing all fluids and some consumables since me buying it. So no cost really, i see it as maintenance

-About 400kms, i'm fairly heavy on the right pedal

-5.9s, was quicker before but i have less rear grip on launch now due to moving to stiffer springs and using street tires again

My comment was tongue in cheek - no matter what someone drives, dont we all wish it was at least a little bit faster? :P

Anyway. They have a good powerband for driving around town. Which is what I use it for and it is more than adequate for the job.

In terms of raw straight line speed they are probably slower than the large majority of other "sports" cars. You might be able to peel away from the lights faster than hondas and family sedans.

That's a bit discouraging, if I "might" be able to take off quicker than honda's and sedans lol.

1. Since Oct last year i think

2. Import myself, Help from prestige motor sport

3. Coupe 70th anniversary

4. Total $29,000

5. Pulls to the left(maybe the tyres), Bonnet did not push down hard enough on the sensor so when i drive fast enough or over a big bump the windows would go up and down :) fixed put a stopper to push down on the sensor harder :P Ask me if you want more details.

6. $2.78. rubber stoppers are not cheap

7. 500k at a guess, alot more when i drive to and from Perth (i live in Gero 465k north of Perth) I might be able to get there and back on a full tank.

8. I can beat a XR6, good enough for me. i have mods Intake and Plenum Spacer.

Go get one :) join the club

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
