Hi guys in NZ, just thought I'll start a thread that's similar to the one the Aussies have! ;) Will be good if we can know a few ppl through this more!

I'll do the first one!

Spotted one awesome looking white v35 coupe on Stanley Street heading towards to Motorway in Auckland yesterday around 2.30pm. Then saw another one in black parked in the underground carpark near Pak n Save in Sylvia Park.

Like i said, both car looks fabulous! Is the owners anywhere in the forum?

Oh, I have also spotted quite a few sedans around Botany / Howick areas. Mostly 250GT and 300GTs. Any owners from that area here as it's really very near where I am!

Parked next to a lovely 350GT coupe today in Takapuna, silver with big feet & an aftermarket twin exhaust. And on the other side of the road about 3 cars down was a 250GT sedan again in silver. My M35 was between them..looked good!

I've got two M35 250RS that live close to me, see them parked all the time and an early RS4 that lives on my road...dime a dozen over here :) .

Spotted another v35 coupe in Silver in Manukau Heights while heading to work the other day! I was heading towards Manukau town centre while the v35 coupe was heading the opposite direction towards Chapel Road. Car looks awesome n clean! Is the owner of this great car in the forum?

Father in law to be's best mate rocked up at his place in a nice jet black V35 coupe while I was there in the Stag the other day. Nice cars, his expression was priceless when he saw under the bonnet of the stag and the interior, he was adamant that the stag's were just a stretch Maxima, he never thought that it could be a stretch skyline!

Saw a stag last Thursday at around 8.50am on the intersection of chapel road n the road turning into the Chinese temple in flat bush. Nice station wagon in silver. Does this nice car belong to anyone here? I must say I hardly see a stag in botany area n this is the 1st one. Anyway just got back fr Sydney n was kinda disappointed that I didn't manage to spot a single v35 while I was there! Tat being said I did spent most of the 2 days in a conference n was mainly in chadswood area only.

Spotted a cool looking v35 sedan in dark blue on Chapel Rd near the cinema yesterday at around 6.45pm. Super shinny n nice! I initially thought it was a coupe from far (as it was quite dark and I made a guess based on the lights). :D

Saw a great looking v35 coupe at about 6.20pm today on Ti Rakau Drive heading towards Botany. It's quite dark so can't see the colour but saw the car with a rear spoiler which looks great!

Is the owner here?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
