N1GTR

99% sure i spotted this in Sydney at Autosport. I was talking with the owner for a bit while i was in there picking up a sump (and not getting hands dirty ) Is this you Michael? If so - guys, VERY clean car

Maxed out 1000cc injectors - good stuff. Although shouldnt 1000cc's be getting a slightly higher figure before maxing out? Or was it fuel pressure dropping that made you stop? Any details on head work, cams etc?

Haha, thats a good one

Shame he doesnt have those wheels anymore

Can someone who imports parts please post up a cost for brake discs and pads, genuine brembo/nissan, delivered to australia? (id expect them to come from Nissan Japan)

If it fits on a single pallet it can be done

Interesting

If you're happy with aftermarket gear, have a look at the Mines kits

Just an addition to my post above, im talking about Nissan Genuine parts, not aftermarket.

Thats been my plan from day one If you dont like the japanese interior, buy from a dealership......oh wait a sec...... Btw, the japanese interior is MEGA cool (except of course for the buttons that use Kanji), the voice at startup is a nice difference - and just for a laugh, dont wear a seatbelt and drive one, she just destroys you in Japanese Completely agree, afterall you've been dealing with sales reps who have targets to meet. Most have very basic training. The sort of training that says "dont tell the customer/act dumb, and the deal will go through. If anything goes wrong ill just blame HQ cause its a new car and we can say that we're being left in the dark". Which is quite unfortunate for the customer! Nissan Australia "couldnt", or, "wouldnt" tell you servicing costs back then? Its not like they couldnt have told you the previous models operating costs. Even though not sold here, they know parts prices once you ask. Seriously not being rude, but honestly i posted this sort of information ages ago regarding brakes, its common sense anyway and if someone took some time to have a look around they wouldve realised this before signing their purchase agreement; -Call nissan, get a price for brake pads and discs for R32, R33 and R34 brembos (which are all smaller disc and surface size than the R35) -Look on the forums at what people in Australia use on those same cars -Ask them, if it isnt clear by now (and i think it should be), why dont you use genuine Nissan parts from a Nissan dealership for braking hardware? -Even just ask, what sort of costs are associated with track going GTR ownership from owners with previous models as a bit of a starting point -Call as many brake shops as you can that specialize in serious brakes and say something like; "i have paid a deposit on an R35 GTR. It comes in April, but i want to know what Brembo discs and pads are worth in that size? If you dont have a listing for that big, you can quote me 355mm Brembo discs, or even the R35 size discs and pads but in a different brand just so i can have some sort of comparison" At the end of the day, these things use big brakes, and big brakes are never cheap. Then, jump on carsales and buy a grey one if you guys dont like the answer. At least you can really enjoy it, stressfree

You cant buy talent, although it wont stop people trying.

What exactly do you define as "rev range"?

....or not buy from a dealership at all, and go grey import....

Do it Shell, its more "Nasho run" than "trackday" You'll have a heap of fun

1500? 2k? They wouldve been worth a shitload in the past though before the more "modern" look LMGT's came out

If it really is a daily, leave the stock suspension alone - dont lower it at all. That will also save money for something like tinted windows

Ah har, the RB30's are starting to take over. Good work everyone

Ah fair enough Nice wheelies, as always!

Hitting limiter?

Motec Autronic Haltech I think Microtech aswel (but i never used any of that stuff on it so not 100% sure. Had LT12S.

Oh good, a supra crew showing up...

I feel now is a perfect time to bring up the "i told you so" line, but ill be nice Now, lets see if not using OEM brake parts voids that so, so precious warranty

Where's Wayne and Kasey?

So put him in a psycho R32 GTR

Looks pretty well sorted
