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

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
