you ever driven a 350z, has to be said its a fooking class car, my only faults on it are the the doors are too high to pose in and the car is too quiet inside you cant hear the engine noise as well ( unless its the convertable with the roof down )


oh and the hard cut rev limit




well one more,,,,,, that the price is out of my reach

Not my cup of tea but will reserve judgement until i see one in the flesh.
Looks too blunt at front and rear but especialy the front which has similar design apsects as the new Audi's and no doubt other cars.

Yes this is a big pisser, but it is a nice car though but could do with a nother 50 bhp i think and then it would be

PS and price or dates on that Sky bus ?

The new GTR is ok but its not gonna be like the current ones, FAR madder as standard and priced as Supercar money.

You mean the 350GT? Well what you expect, most people seem to forget Skyline is just a type of car like Sierra and Escort, loads of shit models as well. Its the GTR bit that makes it a special one.

well one more,,,,,, that the price is out of my reach
Hard cut rev limit? Where? Its a soft as fuck, quiet, fuel cut limiter

I can think of more faults, mainly it not bloody fast enough.

Frankly for a standard car it sounds fucking sweet, most standard cars dont.

I love it

Oh and the mustangs are VERY nice too, though you get a pikey version with like 16" rims and it kills the car. You see loads of them over here!

steve on a serious note have you EVER driven a brand new 350z and hit the limiter in 5th gear

seriously as i have and thats my point about it, its not the best feeling when the car literally dives at that speed

steve this aint no "i got told by bill the salesman" thing this is not no guess work this is deffo what i have had in it, can even tell ya the day and time it happened as ive never seen the M25 soo quiet

seriously theres a hard cut limit, thats a stupid idea on a production car as a nice soft cut is what is should have

oh and the fact you have to dip the clutch to start it is embarrasing when you forget

there steering position i dont like but then i never new how to adjust is so that i let off

but i would deffo still have one as there great fun , yes they are a little underpowered but not as bad as the rx8

Nah Steve, I think he means the Infinity G35. I it a step up from the 350Z I actually like it better.

The front of the new Skyline looks very Audi like Spadge pointed out.

Good point about the GT but AFAIK they only released one of the latest shape liners and it wasnt a GTR, so it wasnt good enough
I dont work with Jap cars though, so im probably wrong on all counts!


** this is the one im on about


To be fair the R34 none GTR's looked ok, that one, IMO looks whank

I can tell you that it is limited to 155 i found out in france, We have a black one with orange leather.

It is a nice car but compared to the Cossy or the Evo it has no sole, but then 2 GT30s would fix that

Two standard hard tops, a convirtible, and the mildly modded red hard top that was used on the Gumball rally.

So yeah.

Its not really any harder than any other cars rev limiter.
Certainly wouldnt call it hard cut, its blatantly a soft cut limiter, hence why the revs just stop, hard cut ones as good as stall the fucking car.
Its a soft cut, just feels hard to you as the car is still accelerating well at the limiter.

Yeah thats the one i mean, and he means, the top version of that is called the 350GT in Japan.

Trouble is if this is Super car money, then i dont think they would sell that much imo?


Like anyother Jap super car it has never made that big of impact as people would sooner buy somthing Euro

steve its hard enough to make me loose control ( and me arse), its no way a soft cut in any effect

serious mate, you aint felt the limiter 5th gear and giving it some on the M25 on a slight bend and first time ive driven the car to when i could test it and the fooker dived really hard forwards i thought i killed it, theres not rev reev rev rev rev limiter its like ya fall off a cliff and then ya too busying shitting it to understand what it is (especially in a brand new demo car when ya just started the job a week earlier )

a cossie has a soft cut limit and ive hit that, sounds like a missfire ( as on a cossie at that rpm is usually is anyway )

but the 350 is a fooking hard one, try it again proper as i cant think of another car from the showroom that would have a limiter like that
