I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this is outdated, but I've logged on so many times and seen the silhouette of the R34 taillights and yet, all the hype, recent talk and factual eventuality of the R35 got me to thinking - that and I've driven both and i have to wonder personally - would SAU be better off changing or at least updating the site with the latest car on the banner?

I believe its time for the banner to change.

The R34 has to go... well, its tail lights at least.

The R35 is the logical successor and i don't believe i will hear many arguments against this point of view - definitely not from any SAU member worth a grain of GTR salt thats for sure.

So...

Let's put this to a vote, shall we?

R35 ftw.

*edit*

Good point Adam, but no.

I like the banner, from a bias POV, but on a general note the R34 is more 'representative' of this forum.

The R35 is still new, only a few of us have seen it (but yes it's beautiful), the hype is 98% media-based marketing and has hit many a nail on the head for Nissan.

Also, the ratio of forum subsriber ownership of the R35 compared to the Skylines would be like putting a hair (from the scalp you dirty buggers) on a meat pie and saying "ok, that's how many of us own R35's".

One last note. How could you put an R35, the Sydney skyline (no pun intended) and the bridge together in one shot, when it hasn't officially been 'brought over' yet? You might call it pioneering, or vision.

I call it premature ejaculation.

Omar, dude, its the way the car is heading - so why not change the flag to set the tone?

It doesn't matter if it hasn't "arrived yet" - there are plenty of R35's in Oz right now.

I think the banner should change simply because the R34 is old hat compared to the R35, fundamentally and technologically.

Simple as that.

yes, i would like to avoid the flames comparing R34 to R35..

Its simple, fundamental Darwinistic evolution to me...

I think the site should roll with that as well...

Its only a matter of time anyway, really.

If it were me, i would want the latest and greatest technological flagship as a banner for my site if the mains of it all were centered around a Nissan and with no disrespect to the R34 in this discussion, it just doesn't cut the mustard when compared to the R35.

I would like to see the R32 R33 and R34 on it!

haha... as they are the most famous of the skylines right? :P

R32 is the Godzilla... the R33, is the most popular and the R34 gets alot of media attention.

the current R34 was never put in the banner cos it was the newest model skyline.... it was just put there cos the designer had the shot and thought it looked pretty lol.... we don't have to have the "best" model there imo, just as long as we have a banner that looks cool :P

I love the look of the banner now. I don't mind at all if it stays.

However, if it were to change, despite the fact that i'm a 34 fan, a banner with all series of skylines on the banner i think would look pretty cool also...and yes, why not even the 35 included? May as well...skyline or not...i still feel like it belongs in the family :(

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
