I have to make the point that many of us love our Nissan's because of their fine work with forced induction.

And I have to agree with the other person in this thread that is bored to tears by Nissan's current lineup.

Consolidation or no consolidation, Subaru is making more exciting new cars than Nissan to be perfectly honest, and they seem to be doing OK financially (correct me if I'm wrong)?

Yes but you are missing the point. Fuji Heavy Industries (ie. Subaru) had (and still does) a very small model range and were not in a dire financial situation. They can thus afford to make "more interesting" cars.

By the way, have you seen their new coporate face? Going to be a very "interesting" (read: ugly) Subaru range in the next year.

I think once nissan make a shitload of money (like they are at the moment) they will get back into making awesome cars once again.. maybe around the 2007 mark.

The V35 is better than a 350z, so why is everyone so dissapointed?

Oh I know, because they cant afford one, and they cant afford to put a twin turbo kit on it.

Ya sooking babies!

but thats what i'm saying, its like nissan has lost its spirited performance car line-up or 'soul' as someone else said

for the fast car driver, there's nothing in the nissan range anymore

The more I research about the V35's the more I like them.

A G35 Infinity (read Skyline) in the USA with filter and exhaust only, manages 5.3 secs 0-60mph and a 1/4 mile in 13.8. ...not too shabby for a car with "no soul".

Supercharger and turbo kits are readily available in the states too.

Compared to a stock 33/34 GTS/GTT it has nothing to be ashamed of in a straight line and point to point would probably be quicker.

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
