Nissan Skyline GTR

The Skyline GTR is the 4 wheel drive, twin turbo super car that every one dreams of. The R34 car was launched on the 8th January 1999 and is basically a more compact, facelift model of the R33 which ran from 1993-1998. Other changes include the addition of 18" aluminium wheels as standard along with a 6 speed gear box and a multi function display unit (this has an LCD display giving 7 real time engine parameters). These cars are all around 300 bhp and go from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds.

V-Spec:

This is the flagship of the GTR range. In addition to the standard GTR it has an improved engine performance due to a modified active LSD controlled in conjunction by a viscous coupling (Hence 'V-Spec'). It also has a stiffer suspension and an aerodynamic body kit to give better stability at high speeds. This model also boasts front and rear Venturi style diffusers (the rear one constructed from carbon fibre).

V-Spec II:

This model was introduced on 28th August 2000 and replaced the V-spec. The key difference is the carbon fibre bonnet instead of the aluminium one, with the addition of an NACA duct to aid engine cooling. Other differences include a black cloth interior and larger brake discs. This model is available in Bayside blue, white, white pearl, silver and black.

M-Spec:

The M-Spec model has been available since May 2001. It has leather trim, 'ripple-control' shocks and improved steering wheel. This is the luxury version and can be obtained in a special colour called 'Champagne Gold'. The other colours available are Black Pearl, Sparkling Silver and White Pearl. Due to the fact that the interior is hand sewn, Nissan only make 50 cars a month.

Twelve or more cows are known as a "flink."

A group of frogs is called an army.

A group of rhinos is called a crash.

A group of kangaroos is called a mob.

A group of whales is called a pod.

A group of geese is called a gaggle.

A group of ravens is called a murder.

A group of officers is called a mess.

A group of larks is called an exaltation.

A group of owls is called a parliament.

The most poisonous animal in the world is not the daddy longlegs. In fact, from a little research, it seems that its not venomous at all. While it is true that their bite is too weak to penetrate human skin, the statement that their venom is deadly is false, an urban myth. From what I've read, even if they could penetrate human skin, they have no venom to deliver, although a spider called the cellar spider (which looks a lot like the North American daddy longlegs) is moderately venomous. Still, it does not compare to other venomous animals. The most venomous spider in the world is the funnel web spider of Australia. Phyllobates terriblis, or the Poison-Dart Frog of Columbia, is generally considered to be the most poisonous animal in the world.

Humans are born with 300 bones in their body, however when a person reaches adulthood they only have 206 bones. This occurs because many of them join together to make a single bone.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
