GTR-N1

Heritage Car Display Invite at the GT-R Festival sponsored by SAU.NSW is also... And an example of its typical engine bay by 74.SKY is... ...thanks to Ali Ismael for displaying your KPC110. Nissan fully intended to continue its winning streak of the Hakosuka with the above - C110 Skyline - and subsequently displayed a stunning new hardtop in racing livery - green and gold - at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show. The number "73" was emblazoned on its side, representing the year the new GT-R went racing. However, the Middle East Oil Crisis sent the world into ransom mode via Arab oil embargos and thus, Nissan had to abandon many of its motorsport ventures. With the abrupt cancellation of the Skyline racing programme, only 197 KPGC110 GT-Rs were ever manufactured (compared to over 800 Hakosukas), making them virtually the rarest and most sought-after Nissans. Nevertheless, the fourth-generation Skyline lived out its time as the most successful Skyline to date. These also had the DOHC 24-valve in line 6-cylinder engine with 158hp and 130lb-ft of torque at 5,600rpm. It also came with the S20 powerplant that later appeared in the Fairlady Z432 Magnifying sales were a series of TV commercials, starring a young couple driving across the countryside in their Skyline Coupe. The ads fuelled a huge reaction by the buying Japanese public and Nissan gave the boy and girl names; Ken and Mary. Ali's car is circa 1973 with * l28 triple carburettors * Watanabe rims

Thanks Matt. Hadn't heard of onions. I do know that gluten sensitivity is often blamed for yeast sensitivity as many items in exclusion diets are in common.

Psych and Temperament Testing is only as good as its Validity and Reliability Coefficients. So any Test will have seemingly innocuous questions that catch people out with regard to... * malingering * trying to impress * psychopathic deviance * confusion * attempts to appear in social more terms, 'normal' when in fact they show signs of obviously slipping up All Tests are scored according to criteria such as age etc. All Tests are then interpreted. The MMPI can have as many as 20-30 clinical scales. It's been quite a few years since I've administered that one since I don't do court reports anymore whilst retired 'er semi.

People in the public eye much of the time are footballers in AFL or NRL. In the NRL for example, alcohol after the initial lift that it gives, can within hours, take a heavy toll on the brain neurotransmitters of Andrew Johns, Matty Johns, Josh Dugan, Todd Carney, Willy Mason, Craig Field, Julian O'Neill etc some of whom have retired now.

Martin Bryant is in gaol with a life sentence after a rampage fuelled and precipitated by sugared lollies. Fellow pharmacist Walter Mikac and I have had discussions about his weekly purchases of multiple shopping bags of lollies prior to the Pt Arthur Massacre where Walter lost his wife and two daughters.

Nearly all kids who are genetically predisposed to shortages of Serotonin react quite badly to sugar (sucrose and glucose (aka dextrose)) loadings at birthday parties. They come home acting out; primarily due to lashings of... * chocolate crackles * fairy bread * cake icing * soft drink * loot bags

* Sugar ie glucose and sucrose top heavy * Alcohol * Illicit drugs * Paints, thinners and varnishes * General anaesthetics ...of most types have varying detrimental effects on precursor production of brain neurotransmitters optimally. Alcohol and Illicit drugs are fascinating in that they directly and initially stimulate a nice spike in some (but not all) brain neurotransmitters. But within minutes/hours, the spike can turn into an abyss (before a partial J-curve).

Many Thanks go to ... * Rene Vermeer * Kevin San ...who are writing blogs and articles for e-mags about the cars in the Heritage Display - sponsored by Skylines Australia.NSW whose President is Nick Adams (User Name "levinboy") PRINCE SKYLINE 2000 GT Thank you Dick and SAU Member clubracer Peter for supplying this gorgeous Prince Skyline 2000 GT for the Heritage GTR Display The Skyline has been in continuous production since 1957, from its original marque, the Prince Motor Company. Prince began as a car company completely separate from Nissan. Like BMW, it emerged from a former Aircraft Corporation (Tachikawa), after WWII, and used its aeronautical engineering skills to produce the first Skyline car. A young engineer by the name of Shinichiro Sakurai came up with the "Skyline" name when he espied a range of mountains - silver against the horizon. Unlike Nissan, Prince was firmly established as a premium car manufacturer, and the Skyline was its flagship car. In 1957, Nissan could only produce a 25hp 860cc Datsun113. In comparison, Prince Skyline ALSI had a 60hp 1.5l OHV 4-cylinder capable of 78 mph over Datsun's 53. The Prince Skyline had an independent front suspension and a sophisticated De Dion axle in the rear. It also cost 3x the price of the Datsun. During its 6 year lifespan, the first generation Skyline underwent several changes on the same basic chassis, including an upgrade to 91hp from a 1.9l four. The Skyline's true claim to fame emanated from the 1964 Japan Grand Prix, an event that forever changed automotive history in Japan and created ripples in Germany and the US. Sakurai came up with the idea of shoe-horning a Prince Gloria's straight six into the new Skyline's engine bay. The Skyline's nose had to be elongated by 6" between the cowl and the front fender creating the S54 Skyline 2000 GT. At Suzuka, a late entry Porsche 904 GTS nearly destroyed Sakurai's dream. But the #41 Skyline GT driven by Tetsu Ikuzawa did the impossible and passed the Porsche. It's said that the whole crowd leapt to their feet whilst a purpose built racing Porsche was getting flogged. It hardly mattered that the Porsche outlasted the Skyline because the Skyline legend had now manifested itself. By 1965 after overcapitalisation decisions, Prince was in financial strife. The government then arranged a merger between Prince and Nissan on the basis that Sakurai was given a continued free hand in the Skyline's R&D. Let's pass the baton over to Kevin San if you can guess what car is coming up next!

Allan Kirk is in the Fb (Closed Group)... R31 R32 R33 R34 R35 Skyline & GTR/ For Sale / Swap / Buy / Sell / I haven't had any time to peruse his posts yet.

Roof Tiler required just for maintenance to point an existing cement tile roof. It probably needs it being 25 yrs old. PM me. Ta

A V-Spec II Nur was once purchased off Powerplay Imports Gladesville at the end of 2002 for $170,000. The ups and downs of the market need to be treated with caution. Does this make #9 Z-Tune cheap at $510,000? Or is the #1 Z-Tune at $700,000+ too expensive? Looking back to 6 months ago, that R34 GTR V-Spec N1 was a good buy. A year ago, that R32 GTR V-Spec II N1 at $150,000 was ridiculously expensive. But now? The trend line I agree, is on heat.

The last 3 posts ^ ^ ^ are on the mark.

I'll do my best in a couple of days Rene. Thanks for doing a write up about the very special cars themselves - and also about the efforts of SAU.NSW in sponsoring the Heritage GTR Display.

N1 head is intact so... ...NISMO

Funny Anecdote :- In the filming of Indiana Jones II in Libya, the entire cast and crew were getting bouts of food poisoning except for the locals and Stephen Spielberg. SS had ordered a pallet of baked bean cans. Lol

Food technologists say that risks are higher with... * Hollandaise sauce * Bad hygiene on cutting boards * Chicken that's been left standing or not cold enough from the supermarket or taking too long to get home * Ice Cream from an establishment that's not busy * Food in cafes and restaurants that's probably reheated Any others? Terrible stories above!!!

Since the HOD Test has been normed against the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, they can... a) only be carried out in most Western Societies b) carry different thresholds on some clinical scales based on age c) not differentiate on the basis of sex

I have read nothing that comes close to the Validity and Reliability of Dr Henry Osiecki's Test formulated at the University of Queensland or Prof Abram Hoffer Dr Osmond Dr Kelm Test of the University of Saskatchewan where there's been irrefutable evidence of the dangers of all illicit drugs against the sustenance of brain hormones including Serotonin, Opiods, Phenylethylamine, Acetylcholine, Norepinephrine, Gamma-amino Butyric Acid, Dopamine. When the damage is done, the DSM-IV or DSM-V keep on identifying Major Depression, Convulsions, Paranoia, Bipolar, Autism and Reclusiveness, Catatonia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Oppositional Defiance, OCD as stand alones or in combination. And it gets sadder that babies are born in into both physical and psychological withdrawal. You can search for all the tertiary studies and papers you like to suit your arguments; but they don't refute normed Tests. Especially when normed against the MMPI Psych and Temperament Test which along with the HOD Test is approved for court use in Australia.

Fair enough.

Hi Luke, Is there a pic of QANTAS' involvement in the Air Crash Investigation this morning?

GT-R Festival SAU.NSW Heritage Display Pics by JDMotorsport with thanks.

Good Peter. His name on Fb is Kevin San too.

Understand.

What's the weight of each rim?

The cruise you organized to Goulburn was fine weather. Oh that's right. You slept in.
