i went down to queen st to have a look to.. and might i add that nissan australia are a bunch of f**kin retarded monkeys... why the f**k do you put a car there in a container with the sides cut out of it and have glass there so you can't even see it properly! perhaps they should of had someone there that actually knew something about the car too.. not a couple of skanks saying "eeerrr.. i dunno, want a poster?" if nissan are actually serious about bringing the thing here, and selling it, maybe they should stop worrying about importers, and start doing some proper advertising.. ffs... great car, but very disapointed in the setup and organisation of the display, makes me want to get an import just to piss em off.

whats the most you could do? touch and smell it

Yea man! The smell of the car is awesome! Sitting in the beat is mad too! Not to mention the boot space, the lack of clutch. The dash is nice. And the engine bay as well as the car's fat rear tyres.. Also the Engine Start stop button. The weird door handles...

The list goes on!@

mmmmmmm

seriously though....dont understand why people whinge about the car being in a box...whats the most you could do? touch and smell it

eeerrrr, perhaps actually being able to see it front/rear on, not just side. have a look at the engine bay.. everyone that went down with us kinda thought, seeing as nissan australia are sending out emails to go down and you'll be able to check out the car for yourself before you register interest/deposit/whatever, you kind of assume that you'll atleast be able to have a decent look, but instead, a waste of 3 hours driving, and money spent on over-priced city parking to see a car behind glass glass. atleast in japan we got to breath on the thing, and we got more answers to our questions even though we don't speak japanese. nissan are treating it like its the only solid gold gtr in the world, get over it.

3hrs driving to see a car in a box...ouch!!!

i assumed the same thing as you when the car when the car was here in Sydney but seeing it in a box and only a few cm away from me was better than nothing

nissans a year away from selling the car locally so im sure the car wasnt displayed to attract more sales

people seriously thinking of buying the GTR will buy it even without seeing/touching/experiencing the car in person.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
