Where is fabcar? Is that the dealership on Albany Hwy?

Yeah went to see the GTR at the Perth motorshow on Tuesday thinking I could have a seat in it, but no go there :)

The barrier also sucked meaning you couldnt really get up close.

He probably thought you were crazy because none of them have 180km/h dashes. It's a Jap spec one and the speedo goes to 340km/h.

He was lying but that's life, the Nissan guys who are touring with this car are getting pissed off at everyone asking the same question but to everyone's defense they needs to stop lying and come out with some genuine details.

The silver is a nice colour at night but I like the other colours more. The silver also costs $3k more as an option. Probably $5k by the time we get it here.

I checked it out yesterday at the show. The car looked absolutely hot, so much better in real life than in pictures. But to be honest I was disappointed with the way they marketed it - I mean WA is the heart of the mining boom, with a lot of guys and girls young and old with oodles and oodles of spare cash. The GTR hasn't been on sale in Australia for years, so surely you'd think they'd be making a song and dance about in an attempt to net some new fans.

The marketing could be better. I feel that Nissan Australia marketing aren't geared up for something more than a Tiida type car and are struggling with this. It's nothing to do with WA it's Aus wide there is next to no marketing push.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
