Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.
Do the oem 360 cameras work well with the system? -

Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel
Would get the Gktech one then, it's 1 hole which would be straight forward to drill, plus it's a third of the price.span widget -

Factory cruise retrofit....yay or nay?
Autostrada Accessories supplied and installed their retrofit kit. you can purchase it from them however it does cost about $600. From memory the total install price i paid was $700-750. I found it worthwhile as i drove highway alot. From the email 5 years ago heres their part number Etc E-Cruise, Nissan Skyline V36 SKU # 101732 Part # EC-NI11NO- 1

Thanks for that, I figured it would be problematic at best. What aftermarket CC did you go with? As I like the idea of it at least showing the light on the IC. -

What Are You Running?
Used to build my rigs, but just doesn't interest me like it used to, so now I run a couple OE machines: HP 15s-eq Notebook 45W - Ryzen5 5500U - 2x8gb Corsair DDR4 3200 - 970 Evo Plus 1tb HP Elitedesk 705 G4 35W - Ryzen5 Pro 2400G - 2x8gb Kingston DDR4 2666 - Kingston A2000 1tb They're compact, low watt & game surprisingly well if you're not wanting more than 1080p. -

Factory cruise retrofit....yay or nay?
Went down this road, Ended up not being entirely possible i purchaed the OEM Steering wheel buttons/shroud and had a place in brisbane install an aftermarket CC. They're able to utilise the steering wheel buttons for this 👍 The light also came up on the dash as the wiring for the control loom is there. As close to factory as you'd get.- 1

Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
Ive been digging pretty harshly on oil info tonight. Seems like you're mostly right, except they do have some info that in the higher temps (like SEQ), I should push more to SAE30, but otherwise, meh. Also, felt the oil, it doesn't feel very oily any more... It also had a light smell of fuel... As for starting, well, I've already abandoned the pull start, as it failed. Cord rotted, and metal throwout things rusted up and jammed. So now I use a battery drill and a socket... Electric start FTW! Also sharpened the blade while I was at it tonight. She was very dull... Mark, for blades, make your own. They're just mild steel. I made mine to be a high lift blade. It really throws the grass in the catcher. Might have been a little too high on the lift though... It was enough that it started to bend the blade tips down towards the earth... Ha ha ha I may have put some epic angle and size on my wings... -

Factory cruise retrofit....yay or nay?
Hi everyone, Does anyone have experience in retrofitting the factory cruise control to a V36? Or is this just a nightmare to even consider given the complication? I know aftermarket options exist however I just have a thing for preferring factory bits where it's feasible. -

You both need to run those mowers side by side for 10 years straight and report on oil and intervals condition. -

Hi everyone, Thought I'd say hi. Fulfilled a long suppressed dream & finally bought myself a JDM car. It's nothing overly special, just a PV36 350GT, but it's the happiest a car has made me feel for a very long time. Don't really have any intention of modifying it, happy to enjoy it as Nissan delivered it. This forum has been a wealth of freely available knowledge in leading up to my purchase & can't thank it enough. -

Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
I've done a couple of oil changes on a 30 year old petrol Victa that the outlaws use to own, over the 15 years that we have had it I have ever only used whatever engine oil that was on hand, 5w30 to Castrol Edge 10w60 From my findings, of 2 oil changes in it over 15 years, where the outlaws never changed its oil, the first was when we inherited it, to the last, a couple of years ago, the mower doesn't care, as long as it has oil it is happy As for blowby, just stick something thick in it and mow the lawn, or, use a thinner oil and just tell yourself it's a 2 stroke and clean the plug when required, the spark plug in the Victa was last changed 10 odd years ago, and still fires up now after a couple of goes on the cord, if it doesn't start, a quick hit with some wet and dry to clean the spark plug gets it running again I really need to get it some new blades though, the ones on it have been resharpened to the point that they are about half their size and are not really throwing the grass as well as they should As for the carby on it, it has never been touched, although I do run 98 in as well, for all of horsetorques- 1

R32 Gtst - Track Car
I'm still waiting for the bearings from Jesse Streeter so haven't fitted them yet. King pins don't fit though, if you're thinking about doing it get the king pins now because the new stock seems to be 3x the price. I got one from Kudos and one off ebay from JP 40022-60U05. If you get them from NZ get him to mark the value down, I got touched for $2k in duty and gst -

Synthetic oil versus conventional oil
Alright guys, this thread really got to me, so I thought I'd do the best thing I can, and change the mowers oil. So here is a photo of me draining it. To be totally honest, I see nothing wrong here, and think there's easily another 5 years in this oils life. But, now I've hit my next conundrum, some twit drained the oil, without having bought any new oil... Should I splurge and use olive oil, or will canola oil do? On a serious note, I'm undecided if I REALLY need to buy 4 stroke mower oil, but some claim normal motor oil doesn't have extra zinc or some shit in it. Also, mower has started getting blow by, it isn't pumping oil out the breather, but it is pumping out a lot of exhaust gas... Which is then making the mower hunt a lot... I'm think atmospheric vent, with a filter... PS, this is a mower I was given years ago, have had to rebuild the carb, build my own blades for it, fix up valve clearances, and then make it really sing way above any rpm it wants while I punish it in the back easement, so no, I'm not spending anything more than I need to. The thought of buying an air filter is bad enough to me and I'm searching for one I think I had on a catch can... So while this mower is a cheapo, flogged to death, revived, flogged again, revived, flogged again, and now being turned into a zombie, does any one know if I'll seriously shorten it's life if I use something like Nulon X-Pro 5w-30, or HPR 5 5w-40 instead of spending stupid money to buy SAE30 4 stroke lawn mower oil? (And yes, if I drank alcohol I'd happily pee in the fuel tank instead of putting fuel in it... At this stage I'm siphoning year old 98 fuel from the Subaru each time I need to refill the jerry... ) So... Input?- 1

Has anyone repurposed the rear ashtray in an r32?
'Course, he also used to say, "If it's got tits or tyres, you're better of renting it by the hour. It will cost you less in the long run." -

This has already started. Its going to take some time so we can continue to discuss in here as I get stuff done. The R35 GTR For Sale and WTB sections are now gone. I have tagged the topics with migrate-from-277-r35-gt-r-wtb and migrate-from-276-r35-gt-r-for-sale. I'm keeping a spreadsheet which I'll share at the end. If we think we made a mistake the tags will allow us to further refine the setup.- 1

I haven't done any of these for ages, I've been on ACC. I'll give it a go. No chance of gold for me though. -

My old grandpappy once told me, find a woman you don't like that you don't want to spend time with and don't want to have sex with. Give her half of everything you own right now and walk away. It's save years of pain and suffering.- 2
