got any more info on the left-hand-drive conversion? That looks so clean, it almost looks factory. All the others I've seen look butchered.

Wah, a first for me.

But it sure does play with mind.

For the LHD conversion (excluding the mechanical) - I'm guessing it's a

-> "cut-and-shot" and a leather/vinyl re-trim.

or

-> they may have got the whole lot and made up a reverse mould and remade the whole lot (dash and center console) - remember this is China - possibly the over could own some sort of pastics factory......

or

-> Middle East spec Nissan Bluebird dash.... (I've read about this - but not sure)

Quite interesting. But if you have a look around on youtube and google - I've seen a few left hand drive GT-Rs in the Philippines.

Some pic from where i come from~ :P

Bahahah Holy SHIT man that is a Hong Kong registered car with a China Cross-Boarder license plate....that PLATE costs more then the ENTIRE car!!!!! (FYI: a china cross-boarder license plate is 1 MILLION HK = ~140,000AUD)

Then again Hong Kong has 100% TAX on cars so maybe not lol

lol has to be a cut and plastic-welded then retrimmed... cos it doesn't have the signature bubble on the dash where the glue gives.

I think it's just that, and the handbrake being on the other side, with a perfectly adapted centre console that makes it look so clean.

The UAE and Filo LHD swaps just look half arsed compared to this.

i was going to say it was just a mirror image picture of a normal rhd, then saw the key barrel on the rhs of the steering wheel... very very neat

Haha lots of money in the smuggling business :) hahah yea but they actually are, I didn't know until my parents told me

i remmeber speaking to one of my old mans work colleages and he paid over 10million (1.3million aud) for a 2 digit number plate... he wanted to be in the top 20 elite list :D as most of the other owners of single and dual digit numbers are dignitaries or celebs. Status or perceived status is very important over there... hence the huge numbers of merc and BMWs

the number plate trade over there is big business it is around 33-40million (4.4 million aud) a MONTH.

On a different note I sure miss living there, one of the best places on earth.

Haha no Asians have a big gambling problem when Macau turned into the new vegas there was reports of mothers leaving their <10 yr old children to go gamble for a few days. Police had to get involved and break into the house. One case was where a 12yr old girl was left with some money and her mother went to gamble and people only found out when the teachers found out at the school she goes too. An the worst one I've ever read about is that a lot of houses in HK have 2 doors a main door and a large metal sliding security gate one parent actually locked her child IN BETWEEN the two to go to Macau for the day. Seriously this world is messed

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
