Hi all, well most probably wouldn't know me cause I usually lurk in the background and I've barely been on here since selling my 33 a while back. But shortly I'll be behind the wheel of another Nissan!

I pickup my S15 Spec R on Friday - Can't wait!

It's bog stock, but the hunt for parts has already begun, will chuck it on the dyno next week before the mods begin :D

Hopefully be out cruising soon, if Silvia's are welcome of course?

I'd better change that avatar of mine...

how many KW are you hoping for?

IMO - KW is for bragging to your friends. The real test is how the car performs, and whether it meets what you expect of the car. You may have 400rwkw with a turbo that comes on hard later on in the rev range, but if you can't get traction then what's the use.

Its stock cause its on a lease...

She works for QLD Gov so we cant modify it in any way...

However her lease runs out in june 07 so then its time for a FMIC, Turbo, Injectors, Pistons, Rods...

You name it and she has got it on her shopping list...

I have owned 2 skylines in the past... sold my last one 3 months ago.. i was in dillema as to whether i get an S15 R / R33 GTR or a Supra.

i had the best opportunity with the Supra so i took it.

and i must say its an awesome car.

NS.com will give ya a good welcome just like Supraforums.com did.

Any reason you went with the slower Spec R, over the Spec S?

(not having a go at you, just curious?)

Is it because of more luxury/extras?

I don't think the spec R is slower than the spec S...aren't they identical engine wise apart from additional aesthetics on the spec R??

      Oh I don't want to get into the details of the 1.5way, @Kinkstaah is the one that holds all the wealth.

      Dose will be able to confirm this more, but a 1.5 way IS a 2 way. It's just not as aggressive on one of the ramps. Changing from 2 to 1.5 I'm not sure how though.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      No updates on the car but figured I'd share a nice outing. All the recent work paid off and I got it all together and out the shed for a car based pre-wedding celebration for a good mate of mine. Pretty casual cruise through the hills to a pub for lunch then out for some go-karting at The Bend. Headed down to Myponga for the night We stopped in at the reservoir before heading out down to the coast for lunch via the dam  By the end of the weekend away I covered 350km and the 32 generally behaved its self. A good Shake down after being apart before the Track day in a few weeks

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By SteveL · Posted

      The front prop shaft from my GTR had very notchy unis, which obviously needed replacement but unfortunately uses the (usually) non-replaceable (staked) type.     A new shaft is something like $2K plus shipping from Japan.   I wouldn't even bother asking the local Nissan spares dept.     Rang Hardy Spicer but no go, which surprised me a little.     There's a place over Dandenong way that would make me a 'performance' shaft but un-necessary in my situation.   They claimed to be getting the equipment in to replace staked unis but couldn't give me a timeframe.   Anyway, long story short, found a place to do the work just 5 mins from me: https://knoxdriveshafts.com.au $420 (cash) and about a week later I have my driveshaft back.   Price includes balancing. Owner is a one man band working out of a shed in his backyard but from what I could see he's very well setup with some expensive equipment.
