The whole purpose of this post was to point out that Nissan might sell the skyline here in oz which it hasnt done since nissan stopped making the r31 locally and the 100 r32 gtrs. Im not denying the fact that most would want to import under sevs:D

Yeah, I bought my brother a die-cast 1/43 scale V35 Skyline sedan about 2 years ago....

no seriously. :D i remember reading something a few months ago about some spot. plus ive seen photos of them on the docks... but i guess you'd know a little more :D

i was going to buy one of those 1/43 models. one in a tude but i decided to go the r34 should bought them all.

Shrub32, the rest of that interview (not published on that web site) has Leone Daphne saying that "I can't see where it would fit into our price range [above or below 350Z], we wouldn't sell the required numbers and even if we could, the cost would be prohibitive."

I don't like your chances. It's rumoured the new (G36???) Skyline four-door will be sold worldwide. If it was, we'd get either British or US-spec interior with Jap-spec engine and unique suspension.

Daphne is hot for the up-coming Nissan GT-R (it's no longer badged Skyline) but doesn't yet know how much it will go for. The good word around the industry is that it will be more than $100,000 (remember it's Nissan's "Halo" car to sit above all others.)

    • 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.
