Rezz

They`re the "Sonic White 90w 5000K H1`s" that I posted up. They`re a bit more expensive than the $50 ones... the $50 ones are like brighter/clearer standard globes (still got a yellow tinge), I think? The Sonic ones are as you see in the pic.

Here are some pics... And I believe Rabrig are as good as PIAA... dochi demo iiyo.

Right Craved, you mean the *fore/aft* angle of the suspension from the road surface to the strut top. I read what you wrote and I thought you were talking about camber for a moment... But yeah, Google taught me heaps of sh!t I was afraid to ask about. Google is good. Use it.

Sorry about that Kutter, you know how it is... Mouldy old PM`s deleted.

Common sense prevails in an Australian Government department!!! OMFG ...I think I`m gonna faint... Nah, good news, I think a few lads can take a sigh of relief.

Thats great Sonic... I`m not contesting that. I`m saying that "Corporate decisions" that make the GT-R a *GT-R*, that Carlos Gohsn seems tp think are so unmarketable outside Japan eg: it`s name (Skyline heritage), and styling (the engine fiasco has been put to rest thank god) I mean, Carlos fooked up about the V8 didn`t he? Haa, ha... So as I say... don`t take everything he says (from now on!) as gospel... he is after all a FOREIGNER in Japan, and any of you guys who have been to Japan to live will know, foreigners don`t run things...

Even though Carlos "I`ve got yellow fever" Gohsn is the CEO of Nissan, I wouldn`t hang on everything he says. That guy has some serious relationship issues with the Japanese at Nissan, that could very well effect what actually is decided upon... ie: the Japanese overturning some of his "corporate" decisions. Thats what people (my mates) are saying in Japan.

BB GodZilla and Scotty, please drop me a PM or e-mail via my site (click on my sig) and I`ll take it from there, cheers.

I can get them.

I see you used the "200SX" as an example there Sonic, but there is no 200SX in Japan... so your actually referring to what the GT-R will be marketed as *in Australia* are you not? **I only ever refer to Japan fellas, I don't know what the bloody GT-R is going to be called in Oz, thats IF you get it at all. In Japan, it's a V35 Skyline GT-R... woohoo!

You say the new GT-R is a *totally* different car, yet you still think the chassis designation is in accordance with previous RB engined GT-R`s so your calling it an "R"35? That doesn`t make sense. And no, the whole "The New GT-R is a Whole different car from the Skyline" is just bollocks that Carlos Gohsn told the AMERICAN press. They (well, Gohsn) can`t sell the GT-R under the Infinity label, so they have to go a different route. But who cares what they`re doing in the US anyway? In Japan (the only place that matters when it comes to Skylines and the GT-R), there is no difference between the Skyline and the GT-R. There will be no differentiation between them. The GT-R will be know as the V35 (Skyline) GT-R. That makes sense, doesn`t it? And remember, my original post in this thread was talking about the Sedan and Coupe, NOT about a car that hasn`t even been released yet...

Bllllllllllllllllllllasphemer!

The V35 Skyline Sedan official designation is: UA-PV35. The V35 Skyline Coupe official designation is: UA-CPV35. I`m REALLY suprised that alot of people on this *Skylines* Australia forum still call it an R35. Aren`t you guys Skyline enthusiasts? By getting the name wrong, we`re disrespecting the latest Skyline incarnation. This is not a rant, it`s just that I really want SAU Forums to be THE English Language Skyline Information base that all people look to for accurate information. I`m not trying to score points here or trying to look like *the man*, I just want this forum to be the best there is.

I did, and those Concept 2001 pics are... well, 2 years old. Why are a few people typing "V35/R35"? It`s V35... thats what Nissan calls that platform. There is no possibility of an R35 ok? And as for an "R"35 GT-R, Nissan is making the GT-R on the V35 platform, so you can guess they`re gonna come up with something like "BNV35" GT-R or something. The "RB" series of straight sixes are gone. Please don`t perpetuate the "R35" thing, I tell my Japanese mates about it and they can`t understand how people can get it wrong, when it`s so easy to click your mouse a few times to see the V35 spec sheet.

Is that the "Stealth Bomber" R34.5 GT-R that I nocked up last Sundie?

I`d refer to the GT-R and Supra as "much better than Muscle cars"...

That photochopped R34 has been doing the rounds for 3-odd years!!! The guy who did it admitted it was a chop!

They outsource the the speedo "faces" from another company. They only change the face and the little speedo mechanism inside as far as I know, so you give them yours (with 25,000 odd yen)and they give you another reconditioned "260km/h" cluster in return... the work they do on the cluster is quite minimal.

Whats stopping you lazybones?

It weighs 1920kg!!! NO thought was put into any weight saving whatsoever. If they make a stronger driveline for the Monaro `fo by `fo, it`ll crack 2 tonnes! Whaaaaaaaat a looooooad of ruuuuuuuubish! Other notable GT cars that crack 2 tonnes: The Bentley Continental R $100,000,000;) and ahhhh... ?

>rsx84: The R31 in aaah, 1989? >sumfatchin: No man, they`re all various NA V6 capacities, from 2.5 to 3.5 litre... the 3.5 having the `ol 280ps output.

I wanna start an "Anti-Gohsn" movement. After I saw an interview with him on a Japanese Business Review program a few months back, I got this huge feeling that he`s gonna f*ck Nissan up royally if he goes unchecked for too long. Send him back! I`ll send him back by EMS!

Carlos Gohsn... Ok, he saved Nissan from financial doom, by making decisions (well, the Japs wanted to make those decisions, they just needed a foreigner to act as "scapegoat") that no one else would make at the time. The Japanese management were quite happy for Carlos to take all the kudos for saving Nissan, the fact was, that this senario provided an excellent opportunity *to break the cycle* of Japanese "Mottainai" (wasteful) business practices. Great! Nissan is still here. Carlos, you`ve done your job... ...now f*ck off:p. His smiley mug is showing up everywhere (in Japanese motoring circles)... I don`t care how much he SUDDENLY loves the 350Z or GT-R... he doesn`t know sh*t about Godzilla, Japanese passion for detail, or us long time Skyline enthusiasts. You can`t teach a Brazilian JDM tricks. He`s successfully had a hand in making the 350Z and the V35 Coupe look almost identical, and if he has his way, the S16 Silvia will look damn near exactly the same too (see the attachment). Great. 3 of Nissan icon sports cars moulded into 3 versions of the same car - Pudgy, Stumpy and Mini-me. SEND HIM BACK TO BRAZIL!

Yes, as we`ve pointed out since July, (no offence Gohan) the V35 GT-R has been withdrawn from the Tokyo Motor Show. The car simply wasn`t ready, wholly due to the fact that Carlos "Nissan is MY bitch now" Gohsn kept pushing the GT-R R+D team to make more and more adjustments... promptly pissing them off in the process and causing them to pull the car from the TMS. Oh and you can thank Carlos "The GT-R needs a V8 to take on Cadillac, Range Rover and Daimler" Gohsn for the V35 Skylines pudgy looks...

It looksa lika dis: I got it by going onto Google Search and typing "V35 Skyline Coupe".
