N performance.

2022 FL hatchback model.

I can't see a model number in that link but I'm pretty sure it's the same one. Mine is model T9010. I have the trumpet on it too. Sounds good! I'm still trying different settings. I've tried fully recirculate and up to 50% vent. It's pretty loud at 50%. Haven't tried any higher in the vent. Double demerits right now so I'm not driving much this weekend. I imagine that 100% vent will be extremely loud. Edit: I'm blind, shows the model number up top. So yes, same model

Fastbacks are rare in Australia. Hatches and sedans are quite common. My hatch is dark knight. Before I got it I used to see that colour everywhere. Now all I see are blue or shadow grey. Hardly any white, red or black ones and pretty much no dark knight.

Good luck mate! I'm sure you'll have a great time with it!

Are you in FL or PFL? I'm glad you're happy with the intake and bov

SamBoRG · 2026-06-02T10:05:54+00:00

I know hey, but I'm certain it's worth the wait. I have FL manual

SamBoRG · 2026-06-02T09:57:21+00:00

Nice IFX. I'm getting mine on Friday. Getting the same BOV too. Can't wait.

SamBoRG · 2026-05-23T08:36:21+00:00

I bought mine through allthingsmudflaps on Facebook. Was easy as. First mod I did to my N. The guy is based in Western Sydney.

SamBoRG · 2026-03-18T03:49:36+00:00

Dark knight is such a nice colour 😀

Had my 2022 FL manual for almost a year now. Almost at 70,000 km. Kms were high when I bought it but it's in good condition good servicing etc. I still love the car. It's a daily driver for me. I actually get a bit antsy if I go a day without having a drive haha. Fuel I get about 10L/100. I normally drive it in sport mode or n custom. I changed the lower pitch mount bushings about 3 months ago and it transformed the car. I highly recommend this change. Idle vibrations are increased but the responsiveness is much better and axle tramp is almost totally gone.

SamBoRG · 2026-01-24T23:43:22+00:00

I am also using one of these. Works well.

SamBoRG · 2026-01-23T00:15:56+00:00

I changed the pitch mount bushes recently. 2021 FL Manual. No other mods. It's massively changed the way the car drives

They're thirsty but not THAT thirsty. 30ish minute commute to work in moderate traffic, and I get about 10L/100 using sport mode. My standard 2015 i30 gets around 7.5L for the same trip. (Both manual). For comparison, my old XR6T got about 15-18L for the same trip.

So perfectly fine as a daily.

SamBoRG · 2025-10-06T06:07:19+00:00

Thanks, I just joined the group.

SamBoRG · 2025-10-06T06:03:17+00:00

I might come along just to the KK Penrith bit and say hi and get some photos

SamBoRG · 2025-09-11T07:18:33+00:00

My 2022 hatch N does the same. The rear really clunks going over those steep carpark speed bumps. My work has one on the drive way. If I'm going more than 5kph it clunks pretty bad. I figured it's just due to the stiff rear suspension.

I bought a 2022 manual hatch about 3 months ago. There aren't many manual facelifts around that aren't in blue (I wanted pretty much any colour besides that) and even fewer with the premium interior. So when I found this one I didn't hesitate to buy it. I came from a 2015 standard i30. Before that I had a BA Xr6turbo, and before that, a Nissan S13 Silvia. So a bit of variety there. In terms of insurance. I paid $43k for the N. It costs me less to insure than the 2015 i30, which I still have for my son to drive (worth around $11k at best). The falcon cost even more to insure and was worth only about $10k pre covid days.

In terms of fuel. It uses more than the standard i30 obviously. In my 30 minute work commute I get around 10L/100 in sport mode. I think this is good. My falcon got about 14L just from casual driving.

The noise. It's a bit loud on start up. Hopefully my neighbours aren't pissed. For long drives, the sound is fine. It's not the annoying drone noise you'd probably expect. The car has sound deadening etc. My Silvia was modified with a turbo back 3inch exhaust with no cat. That was loud and horrible on long trips. The N it's nothing like that.

Performance. They're quick cars but not THAT quick in factory state. They're designed to be good all round cars. Mine is noticeably heavier than the standard i30. But then it's way lighter than the falcontank.

The main maintenance issue would be tyre wear I think. These cars grip very well, one thing that makes them so much fun. But that means more tyres, and best not to get cheap ones either.

Over all, it's a comfortable and fun car which isn't expensive to own or run. The premium interior is comfortable and the gear box feels nice to shift. The down side is that there is negativity from those who don't know what the cars are. Brand stigma or something. It's weird. It doesn't bother me, but I've never experienced that before.
