any chance of anyone try to get complance to both of these or even just the Crown

Fuga had 350GT badge, which i am guessing maybe same platform as V35 Skyline :) underneath

Pretty sure Fugas are eligible for import. Different underlying chassis to the V35 but based on the same front-midship platform like all the other modern Nissans. They do use the VQ35 & VQ37 motors though.

I would get the 450GT with the VK45DE as a DD if I had the dosh :thumbsup:

That the one

I saw all of them in Sri Lanka of all places, so all right hand drive second hand import's from japan.

V35 and Fuga looks different, but with the same Nissan Maxima theme... if you know what i mean

surely few people will buy it, if someone starts importing them

Crown looks better than a Lexus GS300 easy, which sure it must be based on anyway.

I have seen the Nissan CIMA.... well it got look's that is very ** unique :turned:

I did the application for the Fuga years ago, but no workshop has taken them on (bear in mind they were a good deal more expensive back then). If someone wants to do a test car, let me know and I'll find someone to do the evidence.

I know a qld workshop wanted one at one point. ( you deal wwith him ) though he wanted a V8 one.

on another note - pick this van up :)

Crown sedan and wagon will have plates very soon, there are two test cars here (only 1JZ-GTE versions though, no V8s). To the best of my knowledge no-one has done a Fuga yet, but if someone wants to be a trailblazer, I'm happy to find a nice 450GT :)

Would love to be the first to have a 450GT Fuga, but i wouldn't be able to finance it for atleast another six months, will deffinatly contact you Iron Chef if I am still interested when the time comes around. Also do they do the 450GT in the latest shape or not? because that would be what I am after. And what sort of money do you think??

Would it be worth bothering with the Fuga?

Real nice car but Infinity are starting up in a few months in Aus and the "M" series is in the lineup (Infinity labelling of the Fuga line).

I don't think they are releasing the M45 initially though...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
