Guys,

I'm looking for someone that owns an Australian Complied and Delivered GTR prefrably in Brisbane. Does anyone know of anyone..?

Initially I'd like some digital photos of it for an insurance claim I have outstanding at the moment (engine bay is the main one).

Some bastard performed an identity swap on mine while it was having some repair work done and the insurance company maintains it's my car.. I've had a vehicle inspector look at it and confirmed it was an import but the insurance company won't budge.. They tried to find one up here to put them side by side but they can't find one...

Can someone please help me...

Thanks,

LIMITLESS

You mean 1 that Nissan actually sold in Oz? Not a 'grey' import R32?

If so, the tail lights are different from the original Jap model. I know of 1 or 2 in Melb (for photos).

I have PM'd you the URL to some pics showing the major differences, including the removed reverse lights from around the number plate, moved indicators etc. If you need anymore let me know, as I should be able to get access to one quite easily to take some more photos for you.

You are welcome to any of the photos on my site

I have a few other pics to that may assist.

PM me and let me know of any specifics you need.

Basics to highlight to them...

Colour - only Silver, Burgundy and Black were available on Australian Delivered models

Antenna - Roof mounted radio antenna on Aus Spec models

Bonnet Badge - Aus Spec models had the Nissan Corporate "hamburger" badge - imports have the "S" logo

Front Guards - Aus spec models have the rectangle indicators located in the front guards

Oil Cooler standard on Aussie Models

Tail lights - Aussie ones had all lamps in the one cluster (single brake lamp, single indicator (both round) with the small square reverse light in the middle) - Imports have twin brake lights, the small square is the Indicator and the reverse lamps are fitted to the Number plate surround and neccessitate bending the rear 6 digit plate to fit (see pic on bottom of this page http://www.angelfire.com/mb/southo/page7.html)

Dashboard - Aus spec ones did NOT have a fog light switch on the instument cluster - the switch was used for the dash board dimmer switch.

Speedometer - 260Km/h speedo fitted to Aussie models as opposed to the Jap spec 180km/h

Speed limiter - No 180km/h limiter fitted to Aussie models

Compliance / build plates - 3 Plates fitted to the firewall on Aussie spec models - BLUE plate on the drivers side and two silver plates on the passenger side beside each other

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
