:lol:

I dont think we will see skylines in australia for a few years yet. When they do come out they are gonna be pricey too. Lets just hope they do eventually, but if they dont I am not too worried. As long as the import laws behave.

hehe i was expecting "nissan to lauch skyline into space" or sumfin.

So we'll be gettin wat seems to be the nissan equivalent of the LanEvo8 (or as I prefer to call it the 7.5 coz its not much different to the 7). Also is it gonna be called Nissan or Infinty as we don't have an infinty brand in australia, do we?

And you had the air con on - and Doc was with you too !

Yes, Yes, you chopped B-Man. But never again - Now I have the auto Gloria - it's a drag racing machine !

;) ;)

OK, back on Topic - IF Nissan was to sell the R35 GTR, how much do you reckon it would be ??? >$100K ????

i'd expect sumfin that's about 20k more expensive than a top of the range 350z. Altho if they're bringing out a GTR, they'll have a GTt and a GT variant... fo the ppl that can't afford a top of the range car.

OK, if, in 4 years they are less than $150K and I am working for a company that does a novated lease / salary sacrifice and I am still not married then I will 'think' about getting one.

Until then - The GTS-t and Gloria will have to do me ! ;)

meh, once I hit 30 I'm buyin myself an R34 front 350RS Stagea Stationwagon. Fun to transport family in and you have an RB26DETT with a 5" turbo back exhaust to push you along... mmm

Hang on a minute, I thought Nissan separated the Skyline from the GTR as far as the name was concerned. Have they changed their minds again or have the news sites got it wrong?

Either way Nissan Australia importing the GTR isn't good for anyone other than Nissan. It will just mean higher priced cars holding their value for longer, which is bad news for enthusiasts.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
