350Z performance shouldn't be that bad. The specs say its like 206kw or something and 0-100 in 6 seconds. Its very light so a na engine still makes it go. Just no boost surge or easy upgrade potential you get with a turbo.

I still wouldn't buy one, but I would be happy if I was given one :)

don't believe the hype - 206kw my ass! Why do they do a mid 14 second 1/4 mile, just like a stock S15, which has only 147kw? Yes they are a little heavier, but not that much. When I drove one it felt quite sluggish (especially at lower revs) - much more so than a stock S15.

they have stock gear change indicator, when i redline it in first three gear, the light flash and I thought "that's it??"

and as Andrew said, though all the magazine said it's has lot of torque down low, i think it's quite sluggish and has very flat top end, hence i said the power delivery is "too" linear

but i was driving a 180rwkw S15 at that time.

if i test drive it again now i might tell u it's very fast :)

that would be @ the flywheel andrew which might be about 165 @ the wheels

spotted a R31 today :O poor girl

also bought 2 new tires today and was speaking to the guy that runs the place i asked if he will do discount to the boys on the forums :) thats you guys :) and he was like sure npz

so if your in the need for tires i will happily recommend Tyre Plus @ ridgehaven 8395 5880 ask for chris and say your from the skyline australia forum i got 18bux off 2xBFgoodrich's G-force Sports

he said he can do the sava 16 bux cheaper than buerepairs modbury (bad sentance i know) that 16bux per tyre on crappy SAVAs so if u get better tyre and full set prolly do better deal

i dont think paddy wagons can book you for speeding coz them things are so slow its just a rumor i heard might be wrong if i am can someone let me know lol

Saw an R34 "GTR" at the Golden Grove Village today. Hillarious thing is that it had no flared guards, no in-dash computer and was auto. The owner still tried to insist it was in fact a real GTR however

    • 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.
