Here I was hooning on my scooter around Phuket Island with some mates when I glanced a White R35 GTR to the side of the road.

Needless to say I almost got cleaned up by a car when I drifted into the oncoming traffic whilst looking at it. I have to say it looks way better up close than in photos... one horny ride.

Dont know why you would bother owning one there cos you just cant drive it the way it wants to be driven from the traffic and shit roads. Couldnt find the owner but im sure he is the king of Phuket roads with this awesome car!

I want one :teehee:

the owner could possibly be some sort of army general, heard from thai friends that alot of them are very corrupt and very rich.

yeah quite a waste having it in thailand, im not even sure if they have any racetracks which you can take it onto.

Damn, I wouldn't want to be driving that in Thailand!

Endless paranoia about "dings and scrapes" from moto's, cyclo's, tuk tuk's, elephants, and what have you.

The money paid for the car could buy a mansion over there.

Also, can you imagine trying to keep that beautiful white coat clean....

considering HKS has an official R&D branch in Thailand, and Sepang International Circuit (where they have the F1 and JGTC rounds) isn't that far away, in addition to Nakornchaisri that's local, I'd say there's plenty of potential.

Lol, just picturing you scootering around the bends and then sh!tting yourself when you spotted the GTR lol. I'm gonna be clinically dead for about 10 seconds when i see one for the first time :teehee:

Hope it made your holiday (if that's why you're there) even better!

This was on Phuket Island... would be a mission getting it to Sepang in Kuala Lumper... mind you he probably has the dough to throw it on a plane and take it there!

Yeah mate it was a hairy moment ill tell you that... I was going around a corner doing about 80 when i saw it. And it sure did make my day/trip!

gotta admit though there was a couple of good straights and corners out of town where we maxed out the scooters at 105k's... so he could have a little bit of fun :D

looks like they already stole the nissan badge off the boot:)

looks too clean for the badge to be stolen, maybe he doesnt want to people know that its a nissan and had it removed. it is quite a big badge and kinda stands out a bit too much

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      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

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      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.
