Hey, that is serious Nissan history. I luv the English translation.

My kids get mails from Japanese students who have stayed with us and they write exactly like that.

I think this info should be in Sky History Stickey.

Seibu Keisatsu.

You're right, it was a Japanese Movie & TV Series that lasted a long time! The first episodes had C10 Skylines... I think it ended with the R30 and S130. The show was sponsored by Nissan, which is why all the police cars are Nissans. That convertible Gazelle and S130 with gullwing doors are from the same show.

Some videos are on YouTube ... here's one

The R30 was called "Machine-X"

Wow thank's DR JOSH ... this info just filled in a huge gap for me and a friend of mine ...

I have spent a fair bit of time in one of these in the mid 90's ( 2000RS-X TURBO C Twin cam turbo engine of 4 valves DOHC ) and we never knew what it was... We had suspicions it was a track car of some sought when we bought but had no real idea...

It had freaky performance to anything we had every encountered before!

he ended up putting a huge turbonetics and EMS on and to this day that car is one of my all time favorites to have driven

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
