looking at the standard equipment list, there is certainly A LOT of stuff to throw out to save weight. And it doesn't have a CF roof/bonnet yet either.

Titanium exhaust will prob be standard on the V-Spec+ versions, which is 10kg right there. Prob 100-150kg to be found i reckon.

hey funky, when we get them sold officially here, and say Nissan AU decides not to bring the V-Specs out, does that mean we wouldn't be able to import any V-Specs because there is a silhouette car already here?

If the standard GTR can knock off a 911 Turbo, can't wait to see what the more track orientated ones can do :spank:

In terms of rims, how many aftermarket 20" choices to you get in the lightweight/racing area? You'd have your pic of a shiteload of chrome, but staple a/m rims like the TE-37, LM-GT4's, etc, etc... are you going to have much choice in the 20" range?

I was thinking... in the rim department, will they be same stud pattern as r33/34's i wonder...

Yeah same side on silhouette means it won't qualify.

look more towards the euro market for decent 20" fully forged rims or forged outers with cast centres. they've been on lambo's, fezza's n brabus' for years. didn't the Nissan FX come standard with similar wheels to the new GT-R, they were straight fits onto skylines and silvias.

you can bet companies like Rays will start making wheels like the LMGT-4's and CE28N in 20" sizes fairly soon

judging by the photos, they still look to be using 5x114.3 PCD

only problem is, it's illegal to fit smaller than factory wheels (you'd need at least 19" to clear the brakes anyway)

word has it it will be on sevs soon as its not gonna be a full volume import, time will tell i guess

and regarding wheels, the U.S has many lightweight forged options, forgiatio to name 1, they make some hectic wheels, i jus brang over a staggered set in 22x11 and 20x9 for a 360 modena.

if it goes on sevs, im definitely selling my 34 n 32 GTR's to get 1 :P

technically you can get it on SEVS even if its brought in as a full volume import as Nissan will only start sales in late 2008, wheras its available from Dec 2007 in japan. Which means that 1 year period qualifies regardless, providing someone makes a proper application prior to Nissan selling them locally.

how much will it be in japan and how much would it cost on top of that to bring it here and rego?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
