Who says 2.5 tonne yank tanks don't fly?

Anything can fly if you hit a ramp hard enough ... I'd like the see it handle the 'Ring though. $20 says it couldn't do a sub-11 min lap without breaking something.

This is a factory "Baja Rally" special edition, $15K worth of suspension upgrades give an extra 115" travel.

going by the reviews ect its no slouch, but given its an off road focused car (not like the trucks like the SRT10 Ram and SVT F150 Lightning)

Then again every review i have read has been done on dirt

It is one of many demonstration cars that are kept at the shop and used on a daily basis by the man himself. Like most of the cars that come out of Rocky Auto this Skyline has been given a new breath of life, with a series of modifications that transform it into a very modern feeling car. Power is courtesy of an RB25DE, which is smooth and powerful, allowing the classic Skyline to retain its original straight-six feel.

The interior looks factory enough...

...until you take a closer look. That ignition looks a little too modern doesn't it? That's because it's taken from a C33 Laurel, much like all of the lower section of the dash board, the wiring loom and even the steering mounted stalks.

All four manual windows have been converted to electric-operation by using the motors and commands from a later generation 70's Skyline model.

The car may sit a little high, but it's been set up like that to allow it to clear ramps and other urban obstacles one may encounter.

Behind the Watanabe front wheels are 4-pot Nissan calipers taken from an R32 GT-S typeM. The front suspension arms and linkages have been borrowed from an S13 Silvia while the dampers are from an S14. Rocky Auto always takes great care underneath the car, trying to make the handling more akin to a modern sports car. They certainly know what they are doing!!

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
