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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
