that's not fair Roy, they have had some excellent drivers, and docking knows how to prepare an f3 car. something else has gone wrong there

The word I hear is that certain team principle is more interested in having a good time, getting drunk and partying than spending the time and money on running a competitive team. Maybe that's why they have trouble finding decent people who will work with them anymore.

Cheers

Have they paid for the thing or are GReddy using it as a demo. That would make more sense. No doubt Nissan knows about the situation here in Oz with the grey import rules and messers Buckley and GReddy are part of Nissans performance chain - they have been for decades. Theyre not some local shop selling other peoples products. For CRD to get their hands on one and claim to be on the road to development gains before the official release is dubious for me no matter which way i look at it.

Yeah, feh sure, i can just see GReddy singeing that bridge with Nissan Japan right now, dontcha know?

i spent ALOT of time with GREDDY in japan, and some time with JIM and GREDDY at TAS and i can tell you junichi (GREDDY boss) hold great respect for them (CRD).

and its good to see it end up at CRD, jim was jovially hassling junichi and daniel for a thrash at TAS and a later on at a killer night club we went to (all nighter too) he also mentioned the possiblit of buying it :down: .... i could only dream of coming up with the 80-odd k +shipping + compliance ++++ :P

The Electronics and drivetrain will be the biggest question mark and require the most smarts. But the global market and application of components is huge, so a great opportunity if there is enough kitty to get the development under way

nice and close for MOTEC to have a play now :down:

Probably not. They have had Will Power etc, but the drivers that get the more consistant drives have not been our most promising young drivers. And Docking know a hell of a lot on how to win, only i imagine the funds are not there for the Docking team to do what they need to do in order to move up the grid.

Envy Imports has Haltech stickers all over there r35.. and like URAS said motec will sooner or later get there hands on a car be it the CRD car or another..

I realy do think people over estimate the japanese scene and the opinion that there parts are superior, the only advantage japan has over other countrys is that the car's (imports in general) are pleantyful and released in the country and easily accessable. I would have though a bucket load more parts would be available from japanese tuning scene seeing they've had the car alot longer than any other country. I wish i had an r35 GT-R, there's a massive list of parts I'd be making/testing, bigger intercoolers, hard intercooler pipes, adjustable suspension arms, remote oil filter just to name a few.

Only time will tell.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
