The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVI

No, but it has the warning light on and hadn’t closed properly before winter garaging it.

It did work before I shunted it.

Everyone complains about the 370 interior. With the NAV system, I quite like it. It’s snug, means I can’t get into trouble with a girl in it and for a standard sound system it’s pretty good.

I’d probably have a manual if I had a coupe, but for a roadster. The Auto makes sense and more importantly when Michelle first got in it. She said “ooh very nice, can I have a go?” Which of course I said no!. But I was considerate, she had a skirt on, it was summer so I made sure the seat was chilled for her.

I’d really like to know what a Nismo R-Tune exhaust sounds like in a Roadster. I have a 3 inch exhausts on the Z32 and it Snarls, even though turbos dampen the sounds.

Story about the Z32. I used to have a highly modified RS13 200SX in the UK. Had a race spec engine built after blowing it doing a “naughty run” with my ex girlfriend in the car, who’s father only happened to be a copper. Off the clock on a new 9 mile straight stretch of road. There was 1 other S13 and 2 Z32s there (one that is now owned by me - used to be my dad’s) they blasted past us. Whilst the engine was being rebuilt, I had a spare engine fitted that had dodgy Cam Angle sensor that used to cause it to blow flames as big as trash bins . Actually burnt all the paint off the rear of the car.

Give you an idea how much the S13 was modified. Had custom low compression JE Forged Pistons, Tomei I beam rods, a forged
Lightened and balance crank (knife edged) JUN compassion valve springs, Tomei High lift, longer duration cams. Has flowed cylinder head by a Formula 1 engine builder. It would rev to 9000 rpm happily.

The first Trust / Greddy polished front mount intercooler into the UK. Blitz Nur Spec R with custom 3 inch silenced down pipe and Cat removal. Apexi EVC with DECS.. had a full portfolio of Greddy Gauges (5) . It was running 1.5 bar on a very hybrid T28, mapped to about 320hp on 1 bar which is not bad from a 1.8 4 pot

And then the suspension came into play. Fully adjustable, with Tein Coilovers. Adjustable Track, Camber, Toe and Caster to make it handle like a go kart .



Just to mention in a straight line, my
z34 is quicker
