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

Oh right. I thought you had already removed the insides of your cat-converter... rhetorical question...

The hole in the Ozone layer covers most of the Antartic... ...if you gut your cat, the worldwide sea level will rise by 3.5m... killing 220,000,000 people, and displacing 100,000,000 households. Removing the material inside your catalytic converter on the other hand...

Pushrod clearances would be cool... How in-depth? Well, what I mean is that if a magazine is gonna go all the way to Japan, I'd expect the journalist who's writing the article to QUOTE what Tanaka-san (or whoever) said regarding the car... No "it's anyones guess..." or "they didn't stop to tell us!" type phrases coming up right when you expect the nitty gritty stuff. A SPEED article on the HKS JGTC car was disappointing. They basically said that they had no info on engine specs. The reason they said they didn't have the specs was because *it was a big secret*... but the journalist is Australian is he not? Whats he gonna do, go straight to Dome Project and spill the beans all in perfect Japanese about the HKS car? It just sounded dumb. But thats me, I've lived in Japan for quite a while, and I know that Japanese loosen up a tell you more than you need to know if you show them a bit of respect. Especially if your going back to Oz (nudge, nudge) the next day...

They did? They said "R"35? I don't like Speed Magazine very much. My brother sent me a copy, and in all honesty, their articles a VERY light-on with indepth information... almost like a poster book. They run all these stories on Japan, but they openly admit that they didn't talk to anyone in Japan coz the Japs couldn't speak English. That isn't so good.

C'mon... throw in your 5c... You must know something? I'd love to know why some dude in Nissan Australia says "no" to selling the Skyline.

Why is that? It'll steal Maxima sales? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Is this Leon Daphne... you know... ok?

The 4WD Monaro kind reminds me of the Aston Martin in the latest 007 film... but without all the fancy crap and just as heavy.

Used Japanese Imports... a mixed bag at the best of times.

Monaro goes 4 wheel drive? How much would that monstrosity weigh???? I can see the headline now: "Holden sticks it to the GT-R!!! Well... ...in general overall chassis layout... ...kinda... ... F*CK YOUSE RICERS!!!!" And the headline that the Holden legal team suggests: "Monaro goes 4WD, and shakes up the SUV market."

Misinterpreted smileys once again... by Rezz. Sorry mate, enjoy the rest of your day.

You said you read the whole thread, but are unsure of the engine specs? The engine specs are the one thing I was *sure* of when I put finger to keyboard. And Jimbo, I ain`t discriminating, just that in the very first post... there are engine specs!:0

Damn, some of those 17 year old piss you off don`t they? Dribbling all this unwaranted, imaginary crap. But anyways, I`d get the R32 GTS-T, of course they`re a better car all round, Nissan intended it that way, and I just personally like the R32. As for drifting though, if thats your main focus, go for the S13. 7 out of 10 drifters in Japan started out in them, so I guess that speaks for itself.

Why, after soooo much info and detailed explanation *with pics and diagrams* will you guys not believe that COSWORTH have a VQ32DETT on their testbench? Thats, VQ32DETT... for all you who didn`t get it the first 4 times... :(

Yes, I`ve seen two versions too. One has an "indent" between the taillights with the kinda small Skyline name in it, and the other doesn`t have an indent, with a larger Skyline name written between the lights... I`m not certain, but this maybe a difference between the 250GT and the other models. I`m talking about the sedan of course.

That was featured in Option2 mag a few months back... I`ll have to dig up the article. Can`t remember the capacity exactly, but I think it was as you say, an L28. **EDIT: I just clicked on the link, and sure enough, it says "L28"! Well waddaya know...

heh, heh... thats what I`m here for! (kinda)

Theres no "R"35 because the current Skyline doesn`t use an "RB" type engine... it uses a "VQ" engine, hence what our esteemed colleague akeenan wrote... V35 please (for the last time:D)

Yeah, give or take a few grams... They want 45,000-odd yen for a 260km/h speedo to buy one outright, or they charge about half that to exchange your one for one of theirs.

Mmmm... I guess people should give a little more leeway for freight costs if they are after something fairly unique from Japan...

Yes mate, I deal with all their Jenesis gear, aswell as most of the R30.co.jp stuff. I say "most of" because some of the stuff is pretty expensive, and if I told you the price including freight you'd laugh at me...

Ha, haaa! What was he thinking for that moment? Probably: "What the hell was that? Heh, heh stupid rotor... FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!! FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!"

...and finally, some side indicator lenses...

And here is a "smoked lens" variation...

Sorry pentae... I missed this thread... :headslap: Check these clear lenses out, I think they`re *exactly* what your after... If your interested, please drop me a mail via my site.
