Ok so I'm in HK for a lay over for 2 days,

and just around my hotel I spottoed 4 R35 GTR's

2 white, 1 black and 1 gun metal.

the gun metal was parked outside our hotel so got have have a nice close up look.

one of the whites was in a dealer but only say on my way out of time..must try and con some-one into a test drive next time I go through.

only complaint I had was they are so damn quiet. so needs a better note.

You want uncommon hmm? The toyota ex A1 GP car is on parramatta road at the toyota dealer near my uni (sydney) I didn't get a chance to go look at it today though :rofl:

just checked my globe, and I am pretty sure that A1 GP cars are single manufacturer, I think it might be a monster truck you saw :P

P.S. I am sorry if you think I am a smartarse

Nissan are the Holden of Japan.

They source 80% of their product lineup from Korea?

They stubbornly pour all their eggs into the one commodore basket?

They wave the patriotic flag as an excuse to produce mediocre cars?

:D

Jut checked my globe, Hong Kong does not appear in Japan, I think it is in California..

:D

I don't think he was commenting on Nissans in HK, he was more replying to owgasm's post by making a comparison between nissan in Japan being like what holden is in australia... everywhere

I don't know why they bother. Its not like they know how to drive the car the way it was meant to be driven, anyway.

You can't say that..

You haven't met them..

You never know..

Thats just like saying poeple drink Stella Artois because its a more expensive import beer, not because they enjoy the taste.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
