Rezz

Yeah, I could take you around to a few places... but I've already got one guy from Australia dropping by on the weekend, he wants to go out to Nanko on Saturday night so I'm trying to tee that up as we speak. Tell you what, if I can organise something this weekend, and you can get down to JR Ashiya station and pay money for some fuel and toll then we can see some drift on Sat...

You're only 17 mang... a bit lacking in the life experience area, so teaching adults is out. Teaching kids is a possibility but at my school we only teach young ladies 20 - 30 year olds You could hand out flyers? Do some busking? I'm sure if you wore some old clothes and played some Beatles songs on an old guiter you'd make a bundle...

They've got monthly events at Central Circuit, thats the closest 'proper' circuit to Osaka/Kobe, and theres always the good 'ol drfit down in Nanko. Alternitively theres the touge up in Rokko somewhere but I've never been there when it's on, I caught the end of a session about 4 years back but thats was it.... damned if I can find out where it is now though.

Where am I from *in an Australian*? Eeeeerrrm... my mum? lol I'm from Perth, WA.

Okuike? Geezuz do you see many Inoshishi?? lol I live about 5 mins walk north of JR Ashiya station, right next to Hankyu Ashiyagawa station. One more question: what in the hell are you doing up there??? :confused: Btw, I'm not Japanese.

Read: Ringer Hut. I'm not a fan... but I prefer Tonkotsu Ramen (pork bone soup) from the local 'non-chain' shops.

^^^ Eh??? Bullsh*t... you're in Ashiya? Where? I'm in Higashi Ashiya cho... I can probably walk to your apartment... .. and yes, I have an R32...

^^^ but hat doesn't mean it real either! Seriously, didn't it ever seem to you that an *uncovered* and almost showroom ready car like that one above breaking cover almost 3 years before it's scheduled release was a bit.. no REALLY strange? There are pics flying around the 'net of the Audi concept car that that 'R35 GTR' was based on... clear as day. And the (German?) guy who did it has done 4 or 5 other photochops of GT-Rs and other sports cars too. If thats a real car, you'd see multiple angles of it...just like the GT-R test mule spotted at the Nurburgring. Remeber that? Now THATS real.

^^^ lol its a 'chop... been proven 10 times over. Do a search on here and you'll see.

No... it's a photochop.

^^^ Thats some guys Photoshop that he did himself using an Audi concept car base or something. The current Skyline is called V35. It's a complete generation change, so calling it R35 is incorrect. V36 is the next Skyline (in development) but magazines in Japan admit that V36 is still yet to be confirmed and that the next 2006 Skyline could be known as V35 but have an extra digit or letter eg: VH35, BV35 or something like that.

Nah nah... he's talking about a POB filter guys...

Nah nah... this is in US somewhere... LOL my bad... it's Australia alright...

^^^ This guys good

Last ones for now... check out www.7tune.com for the rest of the pics and the write up next week Token GT-R on the day... Cheeky kid... :innocent:

lol, 'Kansai' is an area name... like 'NSW'. HKS Kansai Service is actually 'Kansai Service' but they became an HKS dealer so adopted that into their name.

Here it is guys! After a long wait, we finally have some more news about the upcoming 2006 V35/6 Skyline/Infiniti G35. I'll be the first to report this, as I feel that it's only apropriate that I post up something regarding a V8 Skyline... well... not a SKYLINE per se, but the North American lefthand drive Infiniti equivilent the G35. And I'm sorry to say this, but the next Skyline/G35 will be designed primarily for the North American market, which in a nutshell means THERES NO MORE 'SKYLINE'!!!! An American-style Skyline is not a Skyline in my books... Read it all here: http://www.7tune.com/skyline_001.html

Laurence: PM me if you want the full hi-rezz version of you fav FD Heres another couple: FC3S convertable. Thumbs up... I'll post up a few more later.

I added that pic I said I'd give you Laurence

All the rest of the 200-odd pics and article will be on the www.7tune.com front page soon... ... and this one...

A 4WD XR6 Turbo would probably weigh in at 2 ton... not my idea of GT-R smashing performance. In a straight line? Ok, but that car would be stupid on a circuit.

Ok, ok... I've solved it. Common knowledge has it that the R34 GT-V Series 1 was available in Bayside Blue as a 'special color edition' as of January 2000. What people don't know is that the Series 1 GT-T *could also be ordered* with Bayside Blue from January 2000 but wasn't advertised as strongly as the GT-V (had to sell more 25GT's at the time hence the GT-V variant? I don't know). The Bayside blue color was also available for the Stagea... now this color is extremely rare on a Stagea. The Series 2 R34 Skylines could all be ordered with Bayside Blue, somewhat decreasing it's unique status. Your car is an ordinary R34 25GT Turbo but with a funky color...

Thats wrong. The 'GT-V' non-turbo versions were made from August 2000 to May 2001. Aparently, the 'Bayside Blue' option was such a strong selling point for the GT-V model, that Nissan decided to make the color available for all the R34 models, and even the Stagea at the time. But you say your car was made in *January* 2000? Hmmm... maybe your cars has been resprayed? Whats the paint code on the built plate in the engine bay? Are there any signs that the car could've been resprayed? You could even have a model that was sold to an employee who had the special color applied as a one off (only to have it released as a stock color lol)... but thats a long shot, and not worthy of increasing the 'selling price' if you know what I mean

What I don't get is that me and other Japan residents have been saying the V35 Skyline was an excellent car (as opposed to the 'naysayers' on here - just by looking at pics ffs) for years and now suddenly it takes some dude to go to the US then post up "the G35 rawks yo!" then all you guys jump on the bandwagon... Bovine poo poo.

Laurence and I will be there from about 9am... Adam we'll see you there.
