agree with the above posts. if you want to drive the 35 a lot and on freeways then you may as well call past the local police station on your way out and cut up your licence in advance to save the officer the hassle... they really are built for stupid speed and get there in a hurry.

also, agree with martin, i've seen the nissan dealer guys on track, and the journos too at the private press track release and they were not punting very hard at all. so it's no surprise they didn't crack any decent temps. but anyone having a decent go even on the street will get both box and engine over 110 in a hurry, and on the track the box will hit 130 after 3 or 4 good laps.

they are such a capable car. just crazy fast. I've driven some pretty hot euros and other supercars lately and the GTR makes them all feel a bit lacking in torque and acceleration and grip too. such a sweet car. they are the car bargain of the century!

+1....... :(

Geez - we were told not to worry about "running it in". I mean the damn things are run in on an engine dyno and then track tested before they are shipped so where's the logic in putting around for 2,000kms before giving it some (I've never been a fan of doing that even with rebuilt RB engines either. I think the logic is flawed myself).

My car hasn't done many km's yet (only 500odd as well) but a number of those I have done have been angry! :(

It's booked in for the 1st service for next Thursday (as I'm off to Tassie in it next Friday) so I better get some km's on it between now and then (although they didn't seem too worried if I hadn't done 2,000kms by then).

500 k's already...and only took delivery yesterday....I refuse to leave the cockpit.... :(

:P And with all those hidden speed cameras...congrats...that is commitment.

I can top it! 1000kms in 1 day. :P although admittedly half of that was in NSW and only half in VIC.

500 k's already...and only took delivery yesterday....I refuse to leave the cockpit.... :P

I took it for a 1 hour drive at 1 am the other night just so as to spend quality time with it (north of Brisbane where I had the road to myself). Manual mode and restricting to 4k rpm would be enough to give my old man a coronary.

Went down to the shop...501 k's Now.....

weekend's comin up, go up and down chapel st a few times... you'll fit right in and you'll be doing your car a favour.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
