There are 3 'sacrificial' decal type stone guards on the car, 2 on each of the dog leg panels behind the door and 1 on the lip of the front spoiler. They are made of clear plastic. I have damaged the one on the front spoiler and Nissan do not list it as a part. Does anyone know where I can get one ?

On opening the bonnet there is a big black plastic cowling over the radiator. There are 2 round plastic knobs about 35mm in diameter marked 'LOKC UNLOCK' with direction indicators. Any idea what they hold ?

I had the entire front of my car, mirrors, etc done by these guys, they were brilliant.

The will be able to help you out.

I believe they will ship anywhere.

I had 5 extra layers put under the front skirt.

Talk to Andrew from Ozicozi in Artarmon (02 8084 6879 or 0425 299 977) and he will be able to replace the clear stone guard with his Venture Shield product. I am getting the whole front of the car protected when my new car arrives next week. Not sure about your cowling cover - I have a copy of the Nissan GTR Workshop manual on CD so I will have a look and let you know. Please call me on 0438 179 396 if you have any more questions - Cheers Walter

is there someone like this that can do it in melbourne???

not an R35 owner but would live this for my car after the new front end is on

There is a guy who uses Venture Shield clear paint protection film in Melbourne. My friend in Hobart had his GTR R35 done about 5 weeks ago at a place called Invisible Car Bras - Melbourne Victoria Australia

Phone: 0419 435 427. There website is http://www.invisiblecarbras.com.au/. I saw his car when I was in Hobart a few weeks ago and the guy did a great job.

Thanks Walter. Let me know when you find out about the cowl lock knobs.

I have attached a website link to a USA Nissan website which has an exploded view of the front of the GTR. If you run your mouse pointer over the item number it will give you details of the part. They do ship parts overseas including Australia.

http://www.courtesyparts.com/gtr-parts-r35..._8034_8036.html

If you need more information it let know. Have you electronically timed your car from 0-100kmh? Alot of the guys can't get under 4.0 seconds including Nathan Ponchard when he did the test between the GTR and the GT2 in the latest Motor magazine. My friend's car is only running 0.8 bar (approx.11.6 pound) instead of the 1 bar the JDM and US spec cars are running. This may expalin the slow times. Nissan has promised all buyers a everyday supercar that can run 0-60mph (96.7kmh) in 3.5 seconds or better. We are putting pressure on Nissan to deliver what they promised.

Thanks for the link, identified them. They are the locks for the top radiator support.

I only got my car last week, have not timed it. The delivering Nissan dealer has recommended (insisted?) that engine speeds be limited to <3500rpm in the 1st 500k and then <5000rpm in the next 1500km. Is this BS ? Has anyone else been advised of this ?

With my other cars I have caned (nicely though) icon4.gif them since after 200 or 300 km, no issues.

My friends have been told the same thing and it may have something to do with the plasma lined bores but don't quote on this. I am going to ask them this question during the Col Crawford Nissan GTR Onwers information night on Thursday 18th June so I will let you know what I find out.

Regarding the stone chip protection, I just had my new Skyline protected by Universal Shield in Brookvale.

I spoke with Chris Murphy mobile 0414-752-370 the owner of the company who covered the whole front end of my baby.

I had the bar, bonnet, guards, lights, and side sills plus the top front edge of my roof covered with Venture tape he called it the sports package, I also got him to install a Electronic Rust Gurd kit and he did the paint sealant with Glass Plexin it looks amazing he did a package deal price plus a life time warranty on the film and sealant and a maintenance programe.

excellent Job, you would never know the stone guard is there, I would highly recomend them.

Hi Gibbo, have you had any stones hit your your stone guard protction yet.

I was driving down warringah fwy to enter the harbour bridge and a car from the next lane in front of me threw up a huge stone that came out on a crazy angle and hit my bonnet, the uni shield worked a treat, I would have had a huge chip if the film wasnt on the bonnet, all it left was a slight dull mark on the film you had anything similar, and BTW did you get 3m or Venture tape film installed on your baby.

Could these slower times also be due to the fact that the cars are quite new meaning they haven't completely been run in and are a bit tight? Were these tests done using launch control? If so, it probably has something to do with the revised L.C system- I would probably rather a more reliable car even knowing that it is slightly slower to 100. Realistically, how often would you be launching the car from 0-100. If more realistic statistics like rolling acceleration are slower than the JDM and US spec cars then I believe there is massive cause to be annoyed with Nissan Australia. Anyway, good luck with your car.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
