Wont disclose where or how, but theres a Gunmetal grey R35 Being tested for emissions by Nissan Australia at Ford motor company up in Broadmeadows.

Ive seen the pictures of it on the dyno, on the hoist etc - said to be the first Aussie test car to arrive on our shores!!!

Very interesting - the grey/gunmetal colour looks AWESOME.

Im still not sure if Ford are testing it or if Prodrive are testing it - id most likely say Prodrive.

Exciting stuff ... the dark / gunmetal grey is what I want ... hope we get the full range of colours to choose from.

I wonder when Nissan Australia will be able to release details ?

Indeed my mistake - the car is actually at fords proving grounds, cos the pics I seen of it were in there testing, on the dyno and on the hoist!!

The gunmetal colour looks AWESOME - how lucky would u be working at ford.

I think this car is probably the one that will be displayed at the motor show later this month!! So if its a different colour - id say theres more than one official GTR in the country!!! :thumbsup:

This is possibly that very car, although this picture was taken in NSW. I'm not in a position to give much away at this stage, suffice to say the owner is a bloody funny chap, loves big Nissan horsepower and says the GT-R is simply awesome. I'm reporting the story on my site as it develops and I'm hoping to get a ride in this GT-R on the track in the coming weeks - a video will be made...

This isn't the car that will be at the Melbourne Motor Show.

The link to the story and more pics is R35 GT-R compliance

As an ex-R33 GT-R owner I've got more than a soft spot for the R35.

I retract my statement.

I'm writing a cheque.

When the work is done, a certain someone will post on here to dispel the rumors.

It's very exciting. Some of what has been said is true and some is not true but rumors don't hurt anyone! The people who are bringing this car and others like it in are doing a great thing for the Aussie GT-R crowd who are actually keen on buying one.

Can't wait till the details are out in the open.

Just to clarify....How do you know it's Nissan Australia doing the testing?

We test cars there, too....

If it IS Nissan Australia, that's bad news, but if it isn't (as sewid seems to infer), then that's good news....

so, which one is it?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
