Official Launch At Melbourne Motor Show


Recommended Posts

Absolutely insane in the flesh ... stands out like dogs balls (in a good way =D)

I went past the bugatti veryron stand... looked for half a minute....

I went past the new "coupe60" stand... looked for a minute (Must admit it looked VERY nice. The ONLY holden i have ever seen whose looks impressed me).

I went past the R35... stared for 15 minutes. Then ran to the bathroom.

Biggest crowd by far was round the GTR when i was there, over any other car there. Pictures don't do it justice - you have to see it in the flesh to appreciate what an animal it is.

Oh and there was an EVO X, Toyota Supra/LFA Concept, a few lambos ferraris and what not....

Awesome.....I know where ill be salavitating on March 26th! :P

Looks so much better in the flesh than in photos.

Absolutely the star of the show despite all the concept cars.

I didn't know there were racing versions in the country or any intention of racing them here yet?

What category would they run in anyway?

Performance Cars is about dead as a category but perhaps it could show up a few of the Porsches, Lambos and Ferraris in GT.

No worries!

I received the info in an email from Nissan Australia, who will be presenting it. I'm guessing they will just have the car plopped in the middle somewhere with some rope around it... should be pretty cool :down:

its an oz spec one. I was talking to the nissan engineer and he said that its probably going to be release jan '09'.

Also asked if it was possible to purchase the one on the stand... he said no :)

After seeing it in the flesh im definately gonna buy one once its release :down:

Forgot to add.. What they meant by Only GTR here is that its the only Oz spec GTR here... so no speedlimiter :)

I talked to the engineer about that as well.

Um no. It's very much a Japanese model. All the buttons are in Japanese for a start. He is just telling porkies plain and simple and I bet you anything you want that it does have a speed limiter.

I wish I knew :P

Unfortunately, I know the answer to that.

They have applied to bring it in as a full volume import. They are expecting to sell a large number of them over a 4-5 year period, and can't be limited by 100 a year, as their forecast for 2010 is for 150-200 units.

Screws up the low volume stuff, and I know atleast 5 people have R35s held in Japan waiting for the 18month period to end. However, it won't because Nissan Australia will have it released and first one delivered by January 2009, which cuts us 3 months short of making SEVS.

Only saving grace is that it doesn't go full volume, but every indicator says it will.

just got back from another drive in the thing. It was wet tonight and there was plenty of traction loss. I really believe the tyres are losing traction because of the cars weight but meh, i could be wrong..

Its nice to have a mate who owns one though! :cheers:

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
