Recommended Posts

Just thought i'd post up some piccies from todays little festival out at Fuji Speedway.. Was quite a fun day, though there was intermittent rain, but it seemed to make the driving action more fun.. Lots of kool things to see and do, though im definitely looking forward to the Nismo festival next Sunday!

Who knew the luxobarge Soarer could be made into a JGTC car.

I guess they didn't have much of a choice since that's Toyota's closest thing to a sports coupe nowadays.

Toyota maybe the most profitable auto manufacturer in the world but they have lost their soul when it comes to performance cars. Even with their foray into F1, there has been little to show for it when it comes to their road cars.

At least Nissan have the new GTR and 350Z, Subaru and Mitsubishi have their Evo/STi, Mazda have their RX8 and even Honda have the HSC/Dualnote prototypes.

On the other hand, Toyota has nothing.

Maybe that might be why...

    • 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.
    • 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 All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth.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  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 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.
