hahaha if that company secretary had some 'intelligence' in that head of his he would just jump onto SAU :teehee:

Yeah Nissan Oz should use SAU as it's market research base. They would also benefit from official SAU advisors.

1. Snot came out my nose when I spotted the "picture from the fringe"! lol

2. Dmac, it would be wise to be careful about your personal details and where the email originated from.

3. Anyone else notice the Nissan man's surname? Does that allude to the chance they have of stopping greys I wonder????

lol I think Colin Buckley and his vast intelligence gathering frenzy is a result of the dent we've made in his retirement plan.

I'm sure this forum and this thread will come to the attention of Colin at some point in time, so to him I say:

Keep in mind we are Skyline loyalists. You gave up on us in 1992, we never gave up on the GT-R or Nissan. We were left high and dry by a fickle minded unadventurous pack of retards that headed Nissan's management circles to our own devices. This is why we operate from the fringes.

Now that you have a new cash cow and see an opportunity to charge your customers $30,000 per car over its value in other similar markets, you are doing your level best to eliminate the competition. You don't care about the GT-R, its heritage, its fanbase or its legacy. Most "fringe dwellers" supply these cars as there is a demand for them from us enthusiasts, they don't sit around with their thumbs up their arses to release a car two years after the official launch in its country of origin.

You'd think Nissan Australia would work with us GT-R enthusiasts like they do in Japan, UK and the USA.

it should also be noted that most of those importers put their own considerable time and money on the line to bring in cars like the 32 GTR, 33 GTR, 34 GTR and now the 35 GTR. it's a big risk for them and a big investment.

I would suggest that rather than playing spy games you focus on worrying about your own house and leave the rest alone. if you run a good business, offer good service and competetive pricing then you have nothing to worry about.

Has anyone emailed that address yet? Either with this URL or the postcard?

Seriously, SAU makes a better, harder working, more loyal, faster acting company then Nissan Australia... We have nothing to worry about :whistling:

This is a joke right? No-one is going to be intimidated by this shit, I had a good chuckle when I read it, i'm sure most other people will too. It's like a little covert operation... which we're all poking fun at :whistling:

All I can say is that this forum and other car forums are frequent by marketing ppls from all sort of makes, so yes they will be reading this thread and yes, they take some of the level headed comments on board but at the end of the day ppls here see GTR as a passion and nissan see it as $$$$$, facts of life and on that email alone would have made the "fringe dweller" shit their dacks... litterally.

The law are their for intepretation from different side and one way of getting your point accross is to perpetuate a proceeding and see how deep your pockets against your opponents, and you cannot defend yourself if your not there on the day.

The only way I see this going anywhere we all want it to go is revolt on mass and deny the respect that the R35 deerves and the "target demographic" buyers will soon go back to their Porsche/BMW

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
