The Godzilla name came from Wheels magazine in 88 - 89 when the R32 was just out. It was on the front cover, and has stuck with Aussies ever since :bunny:

From memory it had a wine red GTR on the cover - sexy :)

A salesman at blackburn nissan told me a few days ago that they dont know if the new GT-R will make it to Australia. He said that they only sell a coupe of Z's a month and so they a worried that there isnt much of a market for a 120,000 + nissan. He said weighing up the cost of importing all the service parts and training ect against how many GT-Rs they may actually sell, may decrease the chances of the car ever making it to our shores through Nissan australia.

LoL i know Oscar ... it was a bit of tongue in cheek sarcasm.

But I was wondering if the article meant the worldwide fans and maybe some factions of Nissan had adopted the title in the project or it was the article writer beefing up an old media cliché'

:O

    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
    • Looks fancy But after having a look, prior to its installation, I noticed that the yellow looking power steering reservoir would look crap next to this So I have this incoming..... Much cheaper than the Moroso and has great reviews (yeap, it's a Moroso knock off)
    • Can we place bets? My money is on there is always the option to use the 1 way profile. So the diff is either 2 way and 1 way, or 1.5 way or 1 way. 
    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
