Black R35 GTR "FJNPWR"

Owned by one of the IKEA Managers in Richmond, Victoria.

Being a security guard in the complex and able to wander the carpark, I've been able to admire it a few times, although there's something about the interior layout I just don't like, but can't really explain what it is. Apart from that, they're a mean looking car and you can just feel their presence.

Spotted 2 GTRs today.

First sighting was along Victoria St in the city around 5.30pm. A black GTR with custom plates

Second sighting was along Chapel St just outside Jam Factory around 11.30pm turning onto Toorak Road.

Are they getting common or what? :P

I still think they are a rare sight. Victoria st/city and Chapel st are concentrated areas for exotics and expensive cars so it makes sense to see them more there. I remember parking my GTR on chapel st and as I got out and shut the door a black one cruised past slowly. At the time I thought 'are these things common already!?' until I saw two gallardos that same day on that same st. (Although having said that there is a lambo dealership 1k away from that spot  :P

Spotted a white 35 on chapel st around 7 last night...looked nice...still get excited seeing one even though seen so many of them...hehhehehe..standard vic plates...cant remember now...LOVE THEM!!!! :P

Haha that was me!

Me and my girl went to eat at that fish and chippery place called 'hooked' I think. I'm not into custom plates hence my standard plate.

Oops...don't know what happened there.

Anyway were you that silver 33 GTR that drove past in the opposite direction? :banana:

HAHAHA!!! nah...i was in my daily (commodore)..no chance in hell you would have seen me...(unless you look at old shitty commodores) :P ...i didnt see any silver 33 GTR :D but yes i do have one of them and love seeing more of them... :)

Thanks VSPECT!

You know I have never been in a GTR or even a skyline for that matter before I bought this car. If you ever want to take me for a demo of the 33 GTR Vspec I will reciprocate :thumbsup:

Cool pic Kev. I didnt really know how the white GTR looked on the run from the outside. Pretty sexy.

I have never seen another white one before. Are you from Melbourne?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
