Well it finally arrived and im stoked to have it in the driveway ( carpark ) finally! I know its not a Nissan but its awesome nevertheless.

Its a great drive, plenty of power and torque - 6 speed manual is great. its got heaps of room and will seat 4 adults comfortably.

Power delivery is linear, you can feel the urge around 3k and it really gets busy after that up to 7k. 4pot brembos have plenty of assist, fade is negligible, great pedal feel.

It'll be on its way to Oz ( fingers crossed without a hitch ) next year so for this year im just going to enjoy it.

The Fonz can also dust many cars 3 times the price - its no slouch. It'll see 0-100 in 5 or less seconds and carry the dog and all the gear for a camping trip, too. :laugh: :laugh:

Hope you like it as much as i do!

I like its allround appeal. Its popular in Oz too afaik, so i shouldnt have too much trouble finding a home for it when the time comes.

Unfortunately for Oz, subaru decided not to bring this car in, so the only way to get your hands on one is via private import which i will be doing.

Depending on when that is and what my situation is, I'd be interested in giving it a good home.

I've been trying to work out how to afford a turbo Forester for a few months now.

Alan, the car will be in Oz around this time next year. I have to make sure it gets there safely for whoever wants to have it next.

Its not the prettiest car around i agree but from the drivers seat that doesnt matter, does it? Its a wolf in sheep's clothing...with pink stickers! ;)

We will see. Its too early to tell but the early bird gets the proverbial.

This car will be 1 of only 8 cars in the country next year - mine and another member of this board are 7 and 8.

I like those numbers. ;)

S'all good... sorry for harassing you! I just wanted pics, I thought you were holding out on us!

lol, nah, like i said, too busy driving not enough time to get things uploaded.

I went out to Super Autobacs today to buy some gear. Mindblowing places they are... So much to drool over///

I bought a stack of care produce and a couple of little Sti souvenirs... carbon fiber keyring is sik - i tried bending that little f*ker but it wont flex...damn that stuff is strong.

did you buy yourself a cat-back? Make sure a front strut brace is one of your first mods too.

Roger that. I was checking out cusco braces yesterday - around 20,000 yen>?

I wonder how much the Sti brace is...

It needs more burble Brian - Its too quiet for me and it could use more poke.

Hows yours coming along?? Youve taken delivery right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
